ESSE É O SEGUNDO DISCO DESSA EXCELENTE BANDA AMERICANA FORMADA EM 1968 E
QUE LANÇOU APENAS DOIS DISCOS DE HARD ROCK PROGRESSIVO COM PITADAS BLUES
MUITO LEGAL MESMO!! ESSE SEGUNDO ALBUM DE 1974 TEM UMA PROPOSTA BEM MAIS
HARD QUE O PRIMEIRO DISCO QUE VEM LOGO ACIMA NA PRÓXIMA POSTAGEM!! A FAIXA
THE GATE EM SEUS MAIS DE 10 MINUTOS TEM PASSAGENS HARD E VIAJANTES NUMA
VERDADEIRA MESCLA ENTRE O HARD E O PROGRESSIVO!! VENENO ALTAMENTE
RECOMENDADO!! Rare north-american band. Only 2 albuns with few copies
maked. The first album, from 1972, came the 60's sonority to 70's, a little
bit more agressive sound and refined instrumental work. The second album,
from 1974, it's more hard-rocking oriented, good guitars riffs and dark
moments. Highly recomended. Orange Wedge was established around 1968 in
Baltimore, Maryland. The group evolved from Greg & the Originals. Members
were Greg Coulson (lead vocals), Fred Zang (rhythm guitar, vocals), and Don
Cowger (bass). In 1968 they added Craig Krixer (lead guitar), Dave Burgess
(keyboards) and Tom Rizzo (drums). Krixer came up with the name Orange
Wedge. The rock band began playing many teen centers, and school dances.
After a brief illness and hospital stay in early 1969 Coulson rejoined the
band. They began playing on regular basis quickly becoming one of the top
hard rock bands in Baltimore. Orange Wedge could be seen at all the local
clubs in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and West Virginia. Zang and Krixer
left the group in 1969 and joined Black Foot Smoke. Zang played guitar and
/ or bass for a lot of other groups. He is still active in the music
business. The group that created the records existed between 1971 and 1975.
When the group decided to do there own music, guitarist Joe Farace
(ex-Fabulous Monarchs, Cabbage) brought his basic ideas to the group.
Coulson was responsible for the lyrics. The entire band created the
arrangements. The first record entitled "Wedge" was recorded and mixed in
Baltimore at Flite Three Studios in 1972. Five hundred copies were made
which were distributed a few local stores, and several labels for a
possible deal. The remaining records were sold out at shows when the group
performed. In 1973 Burgess left the band becoming a member of Patch. Their
second album was released in 1974 titled "No One Left But Me" and was
recorded at Sheffield Studios with special guests Mark O'Connor, and Jay
Graboski of Oho. This time a thousand copies were pressed and distributed
in the same way. The group performed the songs live at their shows. They
were also heard on the local rock radio station. The group was never
offered a contract for either release. In 1975 Joe Farace left the band.
Coulson and Rizzo continued the group which finally called it a day in late
1978. Both Orange Wedge LPs have been reissued in the 00's in the States
and also have been reissued as a 2 LP German import on "Little Wing".
