DAVID BOWIE BAND

---|---|---|---|
David Bowie vocals | Mick Ronson † guitar, vocals | Trevor Bolder † bass | Woody Woodmansey drums |
Some months later, after the release of the masterpiece album The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars, the band was dubbed The Spiders From Mars.
In June 1971, David Bowie performed a John Peel session with an expanded version of his band, also featuring his protegee Dana Gillespie and old friend George Underwood on vocals:

---|---|---|---|---|---|
David Bowie vocals | Mick Ronson † guitar, vocals | Mark Carr-Pritchard guitar | Trevor Bolder † bass | Woody Woodmansey drums | Dana Gillespie vocals |

In 1972, David Bowie adds a keyboardist to his band to enrich the sound. The chosen was the great Matthew Fisher:

---|---|---|---|---|
David Bowie vocals | Mick Ronson † guitar, vocals | Trevor Bolder † bass | Matthew Fisher keyboards | Woody Woodmansey drums |
But Fisher´s stay in the band was short as he only played two gigs with them.
New keyboardist in David Bowie Band was Robin Lumley, still in 1972:

---|---|---|---|---|
David Bowie vocals | Mick Ronson † guitar, vocals | Trevor Bolder † bass | Robin Lumley keyboards | Woody Woodmansey drums |
But again, Lumley didn´t stay too long.
Nicky Graham becomes the 3rd keyboardist to join David Bowie Band in 1972:

---|---|---|---|---|
David Bowie vocals | Mick Ronson † guitar, vocals | Trevor Bolder † bass | Nicky Graham keyboards | Woody Woodmansey drums |
Graham appeared in some BBC sessions with Bowie in May 1972, as documented in Bowie at the Beeb.
Still in 1972, Mike Garson joins as the definitive keyboardist for David Bowie Band:
DAVID BOWIE BAND #? |
1972-1973 |
|||
---|---|---|---|---|
David Bowie vocals | Mick Ronson † guitar, vocals | Trevor Bolder † bass | Mike Garson keyboards | Woody Woodmansey drums |
In 1973, David Bowie expands his band with a horn section, up to 8 musicians:

||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
David Bowie vocals | Mick Ronson † guitar, vocals | John Hutchinson guitar | Trevor Bolder † bass | Mike Garson keyboards | Brian Wilshaw sax, flute |
Ken Fordham sax | Woody Woodmansey drums | Geoffrey McCormack backing vocals |
This was the band that played at the famous farewell concert as shown in the Ziggy Stardust - the motion picture in July 1973. After that, Bowie dissolved his Spiders From Mars, and apparently retired from music... but not for so long.
After the breakup of the original Spiders from Mars band, Aynsley Dunbar joins David Bowie in 1973:
DAVID BOWIE BAND #? |
1973 |

---|---|---|---|---|
David Bowie vocals | Mick Ronson † guitar | Trevor Bolder † bass | Mike Garson keyboards | Aynsley Dunbar drums |
After releasing Pin ups, an album made of covers of songs Bowie always loved (from The Kinks, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Easybeats, The Yardbirds, Them... and The Mojos, a band where Aynsley had played!), the remaining survivors from Spiders from Mars, the great ones Mick Ronson and Trevor Bolder leave David Bowie.
This lineup never gigged.
On 18-20 August 1973, David Bowie recorded an NBC Midnight Special at London´s Marquee Club titled The 1980 Floor Show, with an augmented lineup of the band:
DAVID BOWIE BAND #? |
Aug 73 |

David Bowie vocals | Mick Ronson † guitar | Mark Carr-Pritchard guitar | Trevor Bolder † bass | Mike Garson keyboards | Aynsley Dunbar drums |
Geoffrey McCormack backing vocals | Ava Cherry backing vocals | Jason Guess backing vocals | + unknown 3 horn section. Help! |
They played for this show, as well as Marianne Faithfull, The Troggs and a Spanish group called Carmen (ooops!). By the way, this was the only live show Aynsley ever did with Bowie.

Trevor Bolder sadly passed away on May 21st, 2013, after suffering from pancreatic cancer. He'll always remain in my memory both for the David Bowie golden years as for my much-loved Uriah Heep band. I saw him live in my city when he had just rejoined the band in the early 80s. A great gig, I couldn't believe I was watching one of the Spiders From Mars musicians in front of me.
TRIBUTES TO TREVOR BOLDER
- From Pip Williams (sent to me on May 28th, 2013):
The glamour position in rock bands is usually reserved for the lead singer and lead guitarist. However, occasionally, one of the other members forces us to take notice.
Trevor Bolder was one such person. I first had the pleasure of working with Trevor during Uriah Heep´s Sonic Origami album in 1998. Obviously, I was very familiar with his distinctive playing style within Bowie´s Spiders From Mars.
Trevor had the rare ability to elevate the role of bass player far beyond that of just an accompanist. His bass lines were inventive, melodic, intricate where necessary and always attention-grabbing.
Despite this, his parts were never fussy or cluttering. He was in short, the consummate rock bass player!
I once asked him why he never opted to play 5-string bass. He replied that 5-string bass would put him into a different mindset from pure rock and might take him into other areas. I immediately understood what he meant!
In addition, he was a fine songwriter and singer. His contributions to Heep in this respect cannot be under-estimated. He became indispensable to their vocal harmony blend and their set-list was all the better for his songs.
Then there was Trevor the man. A lovely, caring, witty and funny person, with a dry and sometimes wicked sense of humour!
My heart goes out to his family and to his mates in Uriah Heep. Life for them all will never be the same again.
You will be very sorely missed Trevor!
Pip Williams
