Bangor Flying Circus - Bangor Flying Circus 1969

Bangor Flying Circus consisted of David "Hawk" Wolinski (bass, keyboards, vocals), Alan DeCarlo (guitar, vocals), and Tom Schiffour (drums), who was replaced in late 1968 by former H.P. Lovecraft member Michael Tegza (drums, percussion). Wolinski and Schiffour had previously been in the Shadows of Knight. They put out one self-titled album in 1969, which peaked at No. 190 on The Billboard 200.[1] In this album you can find strong rock composition sprinkled with jazz and occasional country fills by guitarist Alan DeCarlo. Alan is the better vocalist, although Dave Wolinski, the keyboard/bass player does a excellent job as well. Dave provides better bass on the organ pedals than most bass players. The guitar solos are searing on some pieces like 'Violent Man' and 'In the Woods'. DeCarlo knows how to take a motif and develop it, vary it, play it in octaves, scats and utilizes other techniques to create solos that demand to be listened to time and again. The drummer, Michael Tegza, together with Wolinsky know how to compliment DeCarlo's solos. Wolinski demonstrates a good jazzy piano solo on 'Violent Man', and has a few organ solos spread throughout the album. After they broke up, Wolinski and DeCarlo formed Madura, while Tegza participated in two reconfigurations of Lovecraft, a successor band to H.P. Lovecraft.
