Earth Quake: Live At Rockpalast 1978 (CD + DVD)

(MIG Music) 8 tracks, digisleeve

Alongside Greg Kihn, The Tyla Gang, Rubinoos, and Jonathan Richman, Earth Quake were among the musical figureheads of the successful US label “Beserkley Records” (1973-1986) from Berkeley, California. The label was founded by former A&M Records in-house producer and A&R scout Matthews King Kaufmann with the words “to have fun and produce some great records.”
Starting in 1975, the label's bands conquered the charts worldwide with their US power pop rock and received plenty of airplay—as did Earth Quake's cover of the Easybeats hit “Friday On My Mind.” The musical style of Earth Quake, which was formed in San Francisco in 1966, was heavily influenced by the rock and blues bands of the 1950s and 1960s, such as the Yardbirds, Muddy Waters, and the Kinks. Kaufmann had already signed the band to A&M Records in 1970, where he produced the two albums “Earth Quake” (1971) and “Why Don't You Try Me?” (1972) with them and Allan Mason. From 1975 to 1980, Earth Quake released four albums on Beserkley and also worked for other artists on the label, for example as a backing band for Jonathan Richman, while Greg Kihn sang backing vocals for Earth Quake in the studio in return.
In the early 1980s, the five musicians went their separate ways. Gary Phillips joined the Greg Kihn Band and worked with John Cipollina (Copperhead). He died in 2007 at the age of only 59; singer and frontman John Doukas followed him four years later. Spurred on by the sensational commercial success of Jonathan Richman's “Egyptian Reggae” and in order to produce the label sampler “Bezerk Times,” the Beserkley artists Tyla Gang, Greg Kihn, Rubinoos, and Earth Quake embarked on a joint European tour in the spring of 1978. The bands' concerts on March 14 and 15 at the Audimax in Hamburg were recorded by WDR for the program “Rockpalast.” Forty-seven years later, guitarist Robbie Dunbar recalls:
“A great performance, a great show, by our unforgettable band,” and asks fans: “Everyone, turn it up and enjoy!”
