Last week Monday on my favorite radio show, "The Rock Ride", on WMSE here in Milwaukee, host Tom Crawford played some Silverhead. They were a British band that you just don't hear about anymore.

Being a hard rock "glam band" that wasn't that good and only lasted a couple of years, may have had something to do with it! Only a couple of albums were made and then they disappeared.

Front man of the band was sometime actor Michael Des Barres. He wore a lot of makeup and that is where the glamour rock part came from.

They came to Milwaukee on February 28, 1973, opening the show for Uriah Heep at the Milwaukee Auditorium.

Take a little peek at a few photos from long ago.

Thanks,
