I first heard of these guys when they got played on WMMS in Cleveland, but I never got the chance to see them (too young). These guys never got the acclaim they truly deserved, but SAHB was a talented band that I still listen to and enjoy. It's hard to believe that Alex and the McKenna brothers (Hugh and Ted respectively) transitioned from this planet, but their work with SAHB will live on. Rest in power Alex, Ted, and Hugh.

@@patrickjoneill4551 Yep, live I have never seen anyone hold the audience like Alex did, needless to say they were loud as ****, I remember Zal's guitar solo's, I told my friend after the show that Zal's guitar cuts through your brain like a lemon wrapped round a brick! The concert programme had a picture of Alex blowing out the candles on a 40th birthday cake, we could hardly believe he was 40 ! Wow, that was old to us then. The concert was a couple of weeks before the old grey whistle test appearance and when I saw them on tv I was very exited to see them, Highlights were, the Tale of the giant stone eater, Action Strasse , give my compliments to the chef, of course they did Delihla as a bit of (light? Dark?) relief! He also did the Wall graffiti for Vambo.
