A TIME TO PROTEST - A TIME TO SING - A TIME TO DREAM - A WHOLE GENERATION BETRAYED !!

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE 
Η αρχή της ιστορίας ειναι καπως περίεργη.

Ο νεαρός Martyn Jerel Buchwald ή αλλιώς Martyn Balin , σχεδιαστής και ζωγράφος ,μέλος του συγκροτήματος φόλκ Town Criers, βλέπει στο σόου του Ed Sullivan τους Beatles,ετος 1964 λίγο πριν την γέννηση της σκηνής της Δυτικής Ακτής και του αφθονου lsd, πετάγεται απο το καθισμά του και φωνάζει , απο τωρα θα παίζω μόνο rock & roll !!
Φεύγει άμεσα για Σαν Φραντζίσκο ,φιάχνει ενα γκρουπ και παίζει για τα kαθημερινά τους εξοδα στο Drinking Club.
Εκει γνωρίζει τον Paul Kantner φίλο του D.Crosby και του D.Freiberg frontman των μετέπειτα (QSMS).
Ο Kantner εχει μόνιμη παρέα ενα ψηλό μανιακό κιθαρίστα που εχει παίξειμερικές φορές με την Janis Joplin, το όνομα αυτού Jorma Kaukonen.Η συνέχεια ειναι γνωστή,αυτός φωνάζει τον φίλο του Jack Cassady και με drummer τον Skip Spence!! ναι τον μεγάλο αυτο κιθαρίστα,και την Signe Tone Anderson στα φωνητικά γεννιούνται οι πρώτοι Airplane.
Μετα τον πρώτο δίσκο ο Skip φεύγει να φιάξει τούς Moby Grape και την θέση του παίρνει ο πολυ καλός τζαζίστας Spencer Dryden ,στο μεταξύ η Anderson περιμένει παιδί και φεύγει.
Ειναι η ωρα της Grace Slic...
Κυρίες και Κύριοι ,οι JEFFERSON AIRPLANE - TAKES OFF -
Δέστε τις ζώνες σας.

The beginning of the story is a little weird.

Young man Martyn Jerel Buchwald -aka- Martyn Balin a designer and a painter ,member of the folk group "Town Criers" as he is watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show on 1964 -a short while before the West Coast music scene explosion - he jumps off his chair saying, from now on i will only play rock & roll. He leaves for San Franscisco, he forms a band and plays every night for his living at the Drinking Club.
There, he meets Paul Kantner, a friend of D.Crosby and D.Freiberg the later frontman of QSMS.
Kantner is accompanied by a very tall guitar-maniac who had played a few times with Janis Joplin, his name, Jorma Kaukonen.
The rest of the history is known, he calls his friend Jack Cassady and with Skip Spence on drums!! Yes, this magnificent guitarist , and Signe Tone Anderson on vocals the first line up of Jefferson Airplane is born.
After their first recording, Skip leaves to form Moby Grape and his place is taken by the very good jazz-man Spencer Dryden, meanwhile Anderson is pregnant and leaves the group.
It's Grace Slick's time !!

PANCAKE   -  ROXY  ELEPHANT 1975.
A few words..
Nyrvana Pancake were founded in 1970 at Winnenden, a town located close to Stuttgart. They released one of the best German psychedelic singles, nothing else more. After having shortened their name to Pancake, they released three LPs: “Roxy elephant” in 1975, “Out of the ashes” in 1978, and “No illusions” in 1979. Their style, as well as their line-up, often changed. The only one of the line-up who stayed until the end was Walter Negele. Drummer Gόnther Konopik left after their first LP. He went to Anyone’s Daughter, where he remained for some years. Though on “Roxy elephant” there are no keyboards, one can clearly hear symphonic echoes.
