VIPS

The band VIPs was based in Carlisle. Formed in 1963, they went through many personnel changes, and recorded two singles for RCA and CBS. Mike Kellie joins them in November 1966:

VIPS #?			Nov 66-Dec 66
				êLocomotive
Mike Harrison vocals	Jimmy Henshaw † guitar	Frank Kenyon † guitar	Greg Ridley † bass	Mike Kellie † drums

They played with this lineup at the UNICEF variety show at the Olympia Theatre in Paris, who provoked a good success for their then-current single ´I wanna be free / Don't let it go´ (1966, Island), although it had been recorded before Kellie joined the band.

In December 1966, Henshaw left the band.

This was VIPs in December 1966, now as a quartet:

VIPS #?		Dec 66-?
Mike Harrison vocals	Frank Kenyon † guitar	Greg Ridley † bass	Mike Kellie † drums

And Frank Kenyon also leaves a bit later, leaving the band as a trio.

VIPs carried on as a trio in the beginning of 1967:

VIPS #?	1967
Mike Harrison vocals	Greg Ridley † bass	Mike Kellie † drums

They search for a guitarist, and they think of Luther Grosvenor, then with Deep Feeling:

VIPS #?		1967
	êDeep Feeling
Mike Harrison vocals, keyboards	Luther Grosvenor guitar, vocals	Greg Ridley † bass	Mike Kellie † drums

Sometime later, they augment the band with a keyboardist who was headed to be very famous...

VIPS #?			1967- Apr 67
Mike Harrison vocals	Luther Grosvenor guitar, vocals	Greg Ridley † bass	Keith Emerson † keyboards	Mike Kellie † drums
			The Niceê

But in April 1967, Emerson leaves the band to form The Nice.

The stability in VIPs came with this lineup:

VIPS #?		Apr 67-?
Mike Harrison vocals, keyboards	Luther Grosvenor guitar, vocals	Greg Ridley † bass	Mike Kellie † drums
Artê	Artê	Artê	Artê

They released one single with Mike Kellie: ´Straight down to the bottom / In a dream´ (1967, Island), although I don't know the exact lineup on it.

Still in 1967, the band changed their name to Art.

They were the same guys in the band VIPs, but in 1967, they changed their name to Art:

They released an album, called Supernatural fairy tales. They also played in an album by Hapshash and the coloured coat (on Liberty label), called Featuring Human Host & Heavy Metal Kid.

And they changed their name again (now to Spooky Tooth) in October 1967, when a new member joins.

To be covered (3):	Luther Grosvenor, Mike Harrison, Greg Ridley

SPOOKY TOOTH

A legendary band was born, Spooky Tooth, in October 1967:

SPOOKY TOOTH #1			Oct 67-Feb 70
êArt	êArt	êArt	êThe New York Tymes	êArt
Luther Grosvenor guitar, vocals	Greg Ridley † bass	Mike Harrison keyboards, vocals	Gary Wright keyboards, vocals	Mike Kellie † drums
	Humble Pieê

Their first album was called It´s all about. It was followed by Spooky Two. This one included the song ´Better by you, better than me´ that was covered years later by heavy metal band Judas Priest.

Their third album was a sort of experiment with a French composer called Pierre Henry. The resulting album, Ceremony, didn't get any success, and the first problems started to arise. By February 1970, both Greg Ridley and Gary Wright had left the band. But the first one to leave was Ridley, to join Humble Pie.

Spooky Tooth replaced Greg Ridley with Bob Griffin:

SPOOKY TOOTH #2			?
Luther Grosvenor guitar, vocals	Bob Griffin bass	Mike Harrison keyboards, vocals	Gary Wright keyboards, vocals	Mike Kellie † drums

But Griffin didn´t stay long.

This bassist for Spooky Tooth was Andy Leigh:

SPOOKY TOOTH #3			?
Luther Grosvenor guitar, vocals	Andy Leigh bass	Mike Harrison keyboards, vocals	Gary Wright keyboards, vocals	Mike Kellie † drums

But then, both Leigh and Wright left the band.

In February 1970, Spooky Tooth had been reduced to a trio:

SPOOKY TOOTH #2	Feb 70-?
Luther Grosvenor guitar, vocals	Mike Harrison keyboards, vocals	Mike Kellie † drums

As a trio, they started recording a new album, with help from some members of the Grease Band: the late ones Henry McCullough (guitar) and Alan Spenner (bass), as well as Chris Stainton (keyboards). The album was The last puff.

Spooky Tooth searched for musicians to complete the band, in order to promote the album The last puff with a tour:

SPOOKY TOOTH #5			1970
Luther Grosvenor guitar, vocals	Steven Thompson bass	Mike Harrison keyboards, vocals	John Hawken keyboards	Mike Kellie † drums

But that same Autumn 1970, they noticed that something happened, and they finally decided not to continue with the band (although the band was resurrected in 1972 again).

THREE MAN ARMY

Three Man Army was formed by brothers Adrian Gurvitz and Paul Gurvitz (both, ex-Gun), along with Mike Kellie, in 1970:

THREE MAN ARMY #1	1970
Adrian Gurvitz guitar, vocals	Paul Gurvitz bass	Mike Kellie † drums

They released a very good album, A third of a lifetime, recorded with help from Brian Parrish and Buddy Miles. But Mike was to leave the band soon, although he rejoined Paul Gurvitz (and Brian Parrish) soon later.

BALLS

Balls was formed by Denny Laine in 1969. After many personnel changes, Mike Kellie joins them in January 1971, replacing Alan White:

BALLS #?		Jan 71-Feb 71
Steve Gibbons vocals	Denny Laine guitar, vocals	Trevor Burton bass, vocals	Mike Kellie † drums

Unfortunately, the band split in February 1971. They only released a single, ´Fight for my country / Janie slow down´ (Jan 71, Wizard).

PARRISH & GURVITZ

Brian Parrish (Three Man Army) & Paul Gurvitz (Gun, Three Man Army, later in Baker-Gurvitz Army) assembled a great band to play in a US tour from May to June 1972 to promote his Parrish and Gurvitz album (1971, Regal), where Mike Kellie had played:

PARRISH & GURVITZ #?			May 72-Jun 72
Brian Parrish guitar, vocals	Paul Gurvitz guitar, vocals	Rick Wills bass	Mickey Gallagher keyboards	Mike Kellie † drums
		Peter Frampton Bandê	Peter Frampton Bandê	Peter Frampton Bandê

They recorded a second album, but I think it wasn't released. Shortly afterwards, the three musicians left the duo to join Peter Frampton.

PETER FRAMPTON BAND

After the release of Peter Frampton's first solo album, Winds of change, he assembles a live band (named Frampton´s Camel) in June 1972, with part of the musicians that had played in the album:

PETER FRAMPTON BAND #?		Jun 72-Mar 73
	êParrish & Gurvitz	êParrish & Gurvitz	êParrish & Gurvitz
Peter Frampton guitar, vocals	Rick Wills bass	Mickey Gallagher keyboards	Mike Kellie † drums
			Spooky Toothê

But Kellie returns to his former band, Spooky Tooth in March 1973 (he was replaced by John Siomos).

Shine on: a collection is a double CD compilation, with some unreleased tracks. The list of performers includes: the much-missed Steve Marriott (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Frank Carillo (guitar), Steve Lukather (guitar), Mick Jones (guitar), Mark Goldenberg (guitar, bass), Rick Wills (bass, vocals), Stanley Sheldon (bass), John Regan (bass), Nathan East (bass), Eddie Watkins (bass), Mickey Gallagher (keyboards), Bob Mayo (keyboards, guitar), Arthur Stead (keyboards), Andy Bown (keyboards, bass), Richard Cottle (keyboards), Pete Solley (producer), Jim Price (horns), John Siomos (drums, percussion), Mike Kellie (drums), Ringo Starr (drums), Steve Ferrone (drums), Anton Fig (drums), Gary Mallaber (drums), John Robinson (drums), Jeff Porcaro (drums), Lenny Castro (percussion), Steve Forman (percussion), Mike Finnegan (backing vocals), Danny Wilde (backing vocals), Jeannie McClain (backing vocals), Mark Williamson (backing vocals), and the Waters family (backing vocals: I assume they must be Oren Waters, Maxine Willard Waters, Julia Tillman Waters, etc).

SPOOKY TOOTH (again)

After their separation in Autumn 1970, Mike Harrison and Gary Wright put Spooky Tooth to life again in September 1972. But it's in March 1973 when Mike Kellie decides to join them again:

SPOOKY TOOTH #?			Mar 73-Feb 74
Mick Jones guitar, vocals	Chrissie Stewart bass	Mike Harrison keyboards, vocals	Gary Wright keyboards, vocals	Mike Kellie † drums

They release a new album, Witness. But in February 1974, Mike Harrison leaves again, Chris Stewart also leaving.

This was the new lineup for Spooky Tooth in February 1974:

SPOOKY TOOTH #?			Feb 74-May 74
Mike Patto † vocals	Mick Jones guitar, vocals	Keith Ellis † bass	Gary Wright keyboards, vocals	Mike Kellie † drums

In spite of the important potential of the band (Mike Patto was a superb singer), it didn't work, and Ellis and Kellie left the band in May 1974, without recording any material.

MILLER FRASER BAND

In 1974, Andy Fraser and Frankie Miller join forces as Miller Fraser Band, with an exceptional list of musicians:

MILLER FRASER BAND #1			1974
	êSharks		êSharks

PAUL KOSSOFF BAND

Great player Paul Kossoff had left Free in October 1972. After some recovery, he recorded a solo album (Back Street Crawler). Then, he tried to form a band, probably around 1974:

PAUL KOSSOFF BAND #?			?
Paul Kossoff † guitar, vocals	Mickey Feat bass	Mike Kellie † drums	Peter Green guitar, sometimes	+ others unknown to me. Help!

They rehearsed for a while, and even Peter Green joined them for a very short period. But, finally, the project was sadly dropped, after having recorded just two tracks that weren't released at that time.

THE ONLY ONES

This was a really unexpected move. I was surprised when I read at that time that Mike was to join a sort of new wave band. This was late 1975, when the band is assembled, although the last member to arrive, bassist Alan Mair, wasn't recruited until August 1976.

Originally called Peter & The Pets, the band was commanded by Pete Perrett, a strange and very talented guy:

THE ONLY ONES #1		Aug 76-1981
Peter Perrett guitar, vocals	John Perry guitar	Alan Mair bass	Mike Kellie † drums

They released a single in their own label Vengeance, ´Lovers of today / Peter & The Pets´, before changing their name to the definitive The Only Ones.

Their debut album, the self-titled The Only Ones, contains their best known song, 'Another girl, another planet'. Although the CD edition doesn't say a word, I once read that the album includes the appearance by Kellie´s old mate Mick Gallagher on keyboards.

The second album was called Even serpents shine, and it contains contributions by Adam Maitland (keyboards, sax), and John 'Rabbit' Bundrick (keyboards). With killer songs, such as ´Programme´.

Special view was a compilation of tracks from the 1st and 2nd album, plus both sides from their first single in 1977.

Their proper third album is Baby's got a gun. Recorded with help from Barrie Evans (guitar) and Pauline Murray (backing vocals).

But things weren't going fine between the members, and they finally disbanded in 1981, although some more albums have been issued since then.

Remains and Alone in the night are compilations of outtakes and non-album tracks. First editions of Remains came with a free EP (4 songs).

I once saw a vinyl called Live. It said ´limited edition´, but I couldn't get it. I don't know if it has been finally released on CD.

The Peel Sessions include live material recorded for the radio from 1977 until 1980.

The big sleep is a live album recorded in November 1979.

It has also been released a video with studio and live footage, called Faster than lightning (Vision Video).

The latest release is Darkness & light - The complete BBC recordings. It's a great double CD, with 28 tracks, taken from different radio recordings dating from 1977 to 1980.

JOHNNY THUNDERS BAND

During January and February 1978, Johnny Thunders led this band called The Living Dead:

JOHNNY THUNDERS BAND #?			Jan-Feb 78
Johnny Thunders † guitar, vocals	Patti Paladin vocals	Henry Paul guitar	Peter Perrett guitar	Mike Kellie † drums

This was a different lineup for All Stars Living Dead in February 1978 for one gig, with 3/4 of the band Only Ones:

JOHNNY THUNDERS BAND #?			Feb 78
Johnny Thunders † guitar, vocals	Patti Paladin vocals	Peter Perrett guitar	Alan Mair bass	Mike Kellie † drums

There's also a double single, credited to The All Stars Living Dead. It contains a live recording from February 1978, with this lineup.
And this was another different lineup for Johnny Thunders´ All Stars for one gig in France in March 1978:

JOHNNY THUNDERS BAND #?				Mar 78
Johnny Thunders † guitar, vocals	Patti Paladin vocals	Peter Perrett guitar	Steve Jones guitar	John ´Irish´ Earle † sax	Mike Kellie † drums

SPOOKY TOOTH (again)

Well, well, well... After many rumours, it finally happened! Spooky Tooth were together again, in 1997:

SPOOKY TOOTH #?		1997-?
Luther Grosvenor guitar, vocals	Greg Ridley † bass	Mike Harrison keyboards, vocals	Mike Kellie † drums

It has been a long story since the first news about the reunion appeared. At first, they were supposed to record a few tracks, in order to complete a new release containing old live tracks (from 1968, at the BBC) and some rarities (a Deep Feeling track - a band by Luther Grosvenor, Poli Palmer and Jim Capaldi). It was also supposed that Dave Moore was to contribute to the lineup. In July 1997, they recorded three tracks. This was to be the content of Sunrise, but a year later, the album finally appeared including only new tracks under the name Cross purpose.
In 2004, we find a different edition of Spooky Tooth, now without Luther Grosvenor and Greg Ridley, but with Gary Wright back in the band:

SPOOKY TOOTH #?			2004-?
Joey Albrecht guitar, vocals	Michael Becker bass, vocals	Mike Harrison keyboards, vocals	Gary Wright keyboards, vocals	Mike Kellie † drums

They played a short tour in Germany, and years later, a live DVD was released from those concerts, Nomad poets - live in Germany 2004.

THE ONLY ONES (again)

In April 2007, The Only Ones reform again to play some gigs and festivals:

Guests: (RIP: Phil Lynott)
Producer: Steve Lillywhite
Comments: Single with the B-side not taken from the So alone, and featuring Henry Paul (guitar), Phil Lynott (bass) and Mike Kellie (drums).

So alone - Johnny Thunders (1978)

Members: Paul Gray, Henry Paul, Peter Perrett (RIP: Johnny Thunders + John ´Irish´ Earle, Mike Kellie)
Guests: Chrissie Hynde (RIP: Billy Rath + Phil Lynott, Steve Marriott)
Producer: Steve Lillywhite
Technical: Lee Herschberg
Comments: Mike Kellie played with Johnny Thunders for some concerts in 1978. That same year, he recorded this album, with relevant people from the emergent punk scene, such as Steve Jones & Paul Cook (from The Sex Pistols), Walter Lure & Billy Rath (from The Heartbreakers), Chrissie Hynde (from The Pretenders), John Earle (sax, from Graham Parker Band), Peter Perrett & Mike Kellie (from The Only Ones), plus Phil Lynott (bass, from Thin Lizzy) and Steve Marriott (guitar, from Humble Pie) and Johnny's fiancee, singer Patti Paladin.
There was some special edition in vinyl with an extra single attached. CD reissue contains 4 bonus tracks.
My opinion: I must say that punk and assorted are not my favourite style, but Johnny Thunders was really talented. I saw some concerts on TV, and I liked that he always included some covers by all-girls soul bands, such as The Shangri-Las, The Ronettes or The Supremes. A shame he died, he lived too dangerously...
