Trafalgar Square  (US - Wisconsin, Garage Rock)  -  mało znane zespoły





Grupa z Racine  (Wisconsin, US)  bardziej znana pod nazwą The Revels  (z uwagi na ewentualne komplikacje
prawne, w trakcie nagrywania singla zmiana nazwy na Trafalgar Square, póżniej zmiana nazwy na Crossfire).
Grupa nastolatków (rówieśnicy z rocznika 1950) szkół średnich w Racine - William Horlick High School,
St.Catherine's High School  -  w składzie :
- Steve Grimm  -  vocals, guitar  (Stephen B. Grimm, ur. 16.07.1950r.)

Jedyny singiel zespołu  (nagrany w Chicago)  :

został wydany w pażdzierniku 1967 przez U.S.A. Records, 890.










W latach póżniejszych Steve i John Marcelli założyli znany i ceniony zespół Bad Boys  (grupa
"dzieliła scenę"  z wieloma znanymi zespołami, m.in. : The Fletwood Mac, Scorpions, Journey, Foreigner,
REO Speedwagon).
Steve występował (występuje) z wieloma lokalnymi zespołami, m.in. The Grimm Brothers, Pretty Grimm.




(Steve Grimm)
                                                                     (Steve Grimm)




Serdeczne podziękowania dla Steve Grimm za materiały i informacje o zespole.

Steve Grimm :

" ...Hi, Originally band was called Revels but someone in Chicago had it, so whilst in the studio”Chess Records”, we came up w Trafalget Sq. Later we went onto Crossfire but same thing happened. This Bad Boy was born. I am the only one still playing and singing. After 50 yrs, my wife thinks I am nuts. Bad Boy plans to release a new CD this year ...  BTW, it was on USA RECORDS ...
