Sure, I do. I'm in Syracuse and was very familiar with the band.
They have been defunct for at least 4-5 years. The last permutation
with a lot of the original band members was a band called Smartalec.
The main guitar player also helped form a band called "Zoid" which
has played this area a lot in years past, but he's no longer with
them.
I have a record album they put out as well as a few cuts on a
Syracuse music artist collection album. They were a very good
hard rock band that did quite a few originals.

Yo JR...
You familiar with any on the Long Island bands?!?
I'm wondering what happened to a Mr. Al Pitrelli...guitar virtuoso
extraordinaire! Last I heard He played a stint with Michael Bolan, and
was writing songs for (the now defunt) Night Ranger.

Sorry Buck- It don't ring a bell. I used to live in Manhattan
in 1981 and saw a lot of city bands and touring acts at the Ritz,
Palladium, CBGB's, Gildersleeves, and Trax. A few names come
to mind - The Front , Shrapnel, Rockats, and Eric Martin Band.
I'm not sure where they were
