Originally organized as the trio backing Johnny Kidd, this band continued working long after the latter's death in a mid-'60s automobile accident. Behind lead guitarist Mick Green, who had played with just about everybody over the years (including on Paul McCartney's Choba B CCCP and Run Devil Run), they embraced their punk roots in the late '70s and early '80s and continued to perform until Green's passing in January of 2010. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
