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

[westers151]

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:

Rock Bands - from A to Z

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

 

[Bill Fuss]

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.

 

[Ed LaFontaine]

I hate when that happens to me...

"Happy the Man"?

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.

Cold Blood, self titled as well.

Willy and the Bees: Out of the Woods, I have an unopened copy if anyone is interested. Round and black with no sleeve wear or damage to the shrink wrap, it still has the original price sticker.

Found the band I was looking for: Humble Pie.

 

[exurbia]

"lookin like the cover of a twenty dollar magazine"

They certainly weren't obscure, they even had a couple of half decent musos.

Humble Pie !!

I saw them when I was at Uni.

Incredibly loud !!! Used a PA system of 20KW in a small hall plus amps of about 1KW on each instrument.

Sure, that's where Peter Frampton got his start.

....and fronted by Steve Marriott, formerly of the Small Faces.

Cold Blood, self titled as well.

I remember seeing them in concert at the old U-Vic gym sometime in the early/mid 70's - cooking San Francisco funk/rock/horns fusion and killer guitar work (was it Ryo Kawaski guesting on that gig?)

Lydia Pense circa 69-74 -in her mid twenties not too hard to look at either

thanks for spinning up the way-back machine

Err, um

What can I say? I was born in '71 and only just discovered '70's rock.

But yeah, when I saw Frampton's name I thought, "Hmm, maybe not so obscure."
