Can anyone put a name to this 70's band?

westers151 · 9th April 2010, 07:38 PM

I'm trying to put a name to a band I found on here and which I thought I'd saved the thread it was mentioned in. Sadly, no.

Anyway, the band was a 70's rock/blues outfit and had a name that began with something like Hap, Hip, Hop, Hup, etc, etc.

Can anyone help me? I can't remember the thread where I found it.

Thanks

Hot Tuna? Hootie and the Blowfish? Could you narrow it down to a country of origin? You could also look here:

It might also help to know if they were popular or obscure.

Mott The Hoople

Thanks Steve, but no it wasn't any of those bands and they're also not in your link.

I guess they must be a bit obscure - I've not heard of them before, but I was born in the 70's so I wouldn't know if they were big on the "underground" scene or not - they certainly aren't a name that is a well played in the UK, even on the "hits from yesterday" kind of shows.

I'd say their style was perhaps more blues/folk rock rather than rock.

Thanks for the help though.

Pig Iron,
bluesy sort of funky stuff, check out the self titled album it's top stuff.

Nope, none of them, but on a positive note if I hadn't lost that thread I wouldn't have started this one, and then I wouldn't have discovered Pig Iron

So glad you like them, a very underrated band.
