Biografia:

A.B. Skhy era um quarteto americano de blues-rock, de São Francisco, Califórnia, integrado pelo  guitarrista Dennis Geyer, o tecladista Howard Wales, o baixista Jim Marcotte e o baterista Terry Andersen. 

Esse lineup gravou o primeiro disco, homônimo, em 1969, com um naipe de metais formado por sete músicos. O álbum não conseguiu entrar nas paradas, mas a música instrumental "Camel Back" ficou no 100° lugar no Hot 100 por uma semana, no mês de dezembro. Depois, Andersen e Wales saíram, sendo substituídos pelo guitarrista James "Curley" Cooke e o baterista Rick Jaeger, que participaram do segundo álbum, "Ramblin 'On", de 1970, produzido por Kim Fowley. O grupo se separou durante o registro do terceiro álbum (William Ruhlmann, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).

(*) Gravações de 1965 a 1968.

Biografia:

A biografia da banda, que segue, em tradução livre do inglês, foi extraída do site Whammo, que cita, como fonte original do texto, a Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop, de Ian McFarlane, edição de 1999 (sob licença de Allen & Unwin Pty Ltd).

A banda australiana Wild Cherries, criada em Melbourne, no ano de 1964, tocava, inicialmente, jazz e R&B. Dissolveu-se em 1965 sem ter gravado nada para a posteridade. Na sequência, Rob Lovett se uniu à Loved Ones; Malcolm McGee ingressou na Python Lee Jackson; e ambos, mais tarde, constituíram a Virgil Brothers. Kevin Murphy (que substituiu o baterista Geoff Hales) passou a trabalhar com vários grupos, incluindo Billy Thorpe And The Aztecs, Chain, King Harvest e Levi Smith's Clefs.

Em janeiro de 1967, Les Gilbert passou a tocar órgão e reviveu a The Wild Cherries com uma nova (e a mais notória) formação, composta pelo mago da guitarra Lobby Loyde (nome verdadeiro: Barry Lyde, ex-Purple Hearts), Danny Robinson (vocais), Peter Eddy (baixo; ex-Weird Mob) e Keith Barber (bateria). Como Glenn A. Baker (nota minha: jornalista, escritor e radialista australiano) observou, a Wild Cherries rapidamente se reputou como a banda psicodélica-experimental mais perseverante do cenário das casas noturnas de Melbourne. Os quatro singles da banda para o selo Festival, "Krome Plated Yabby/Everything I Do Is Wrong" (junho de 1967), "That's Life/Try Me" (novembro de 1967), "Gotta Stop Lying/Time Killer" (abril de 1968) e "I Don't Care/Theme For A Merry Go Round" (setembro de 1968), exibiram emocionantes e revolucionárias incursões exploratórias, sem concessões às demandas comerciais, no contexto de um vácuo musical. Apenas "That's Life/Try Me" chegou às paradas (38° lugar em Melbourne), mas todos permanecem exemplos clássicos de psicodelia guitarreira pesada.

No começo de 1968, John Phillips (ex-Running Jumping Standing Still) entrou no lugar de Peter Eddy. Em outubro do mesmo ano, Barber, Robinson e Phillips saíram, sendo substituídos por Matt Taylor (ex-membro da Bay City Union, recentemente dissolvida) e três ex-integrantes da banda de blues Thursday's Children, de Brisbane: Barry Sullivan (guitarra base), Steve Pristash (baixo) e Barry Harvey (bateria). Robinson assumiu o posto de McGee na Virgil Brothers e foi vocalista, posteriormente, do grupo de estúdio Duck. Um mês depois, Gilbert, Loyde e Taylor também partiram. Loyde se ligou à banda Billy Thorpe And The Aztecs. Brian Wilson assumiu como frontman da Wild Cherries, e Sullivan empunhou a guitarra por quatro semanas até que Tim Piper (ex-Chants R&B e Electric Heap) passasse a tocá-la em dezembro. Pristash outrossim deixou o grupo e Sullivan se transferiu para o baixo, mas o lineup rachou em abril de 1969. Piper se associou a diversos tipos de bandas: Savage Rose Blues Band, Chain, Genesis, Ray Brown's One Ton Gypsy, Blackfeather, Alta Mira e Ray Burton Band. Sullivan e Harvey reapareceram na Chain em outubro de 1969.

Brian Wilson se deslocou para a banda de blues pesado Sunshine, constituída por Ralph Boyd (guitarra), Ian Holding (baixo) e Wally Edwards (bateria). A Sunshine lançou o single "Luke McCoy/Sweet Little Mama" em 1971, pela gravadora RCA. Loyde, após ficar dois anos na Billy Thorpe And The Aztecs, ressuscitou a Wild Cherries, no início de 1971, agora como um trio de rock pesado, ao lado de Teddy Toi (baixo) e Johnny Dick (bateria), ambos ex-membros dos grupos Max Merritt And The Meteors, Billy Thorpe And The Aztecs e Fanny Adams. O novo lineup foi concebido quando Loyde gravou seu clássico álbum solo, "Plays With George Guitar", na companhia de Toi e Dick.

A Wild Cherries lançou, em novembro de 1971, pelo selo Havoc, o single "I Am The Sea (Stop Killing Me)/Daily Planet", considerado atípico do seu repertório, contendo uma sonoridade acústica estimulante e uma precursora mensagem ambiental. A gravadora Raven, especializada em relançamentos, inseriu "I Am The Sea (Stop Killing Me)" na essencial compilação "Golden Miles: Australian Progressive Rock 1969–1974", de 1994. A Wild Cherries participou do primeiro Festival Pop Sunbury, em janeiro de 1972, mas se extinguiu um mês depois. Loyde fundou a Colored Balls em março de 1972. Dick e Toi, por seu turno, retornaram à Billy Thorpe And The Aztecs.

Biografia:

A biografia da banda, que segue, em tradução livre do inglês, foi extraída do site Oldies, que, por sua vez, cita, como fonte primária do texto, a Encyclopedia Of Popular Music, de Colin Larkin (sob licença da editora Muze).

Originária de Detroit, Michigan, EUA, a Amboy Dukes – John Drake (vocais), Ted Nugent (nascido no dia 13 dezembro de 1948, em Detroit, Michigan, EUA; guitarra), Steve Farmer (guitarra rítmica), Rick Lorber (teclados), Bill White (baixo) e Dave Palmer (bateria) – alcançou notoriedade por sua interpretação de "Journey To The Center Of The Mind", que contou com a guitarra endiabrada de Nugent e atingiu o Top 20 americano em 1968. A impetuosidade da sua versão de "Baby Please Don't Go", da Them, definiu o tom dos discos subsequentes, em que as letras um tanto rebuscadas de Farmer muitas vezes não encontravam as melodias adequadas. 

De qualquer maneira, a banda mostrava bastante habilidade instrumental, como se percebe na sugestiva "Scottish Tea". Mudanças freqüentes de pessoal (Drake, Lorber e White foram substituídos, respectivamente, por Rusty Day, Andy Solomon e Greg Arama) não fizeram muita diferença para a desenvolvimento da banda, que se tornou um crescente veículo para as pirotecnias de Nugent. Uma renovada formação gravou "Call Of The Wild", o primeiro dos dois álbuns lançados pelo selo de Frank Zappa, DiscReet. Em seguida, Nugent abandonou o grupo e embarcou numa florescente carreira solo.
