Next group was Full Sail, with Dan, Dave Henderson and Jay Vasquez. Those were great times! We played many parties, weddings and dances around Ventura, Ojai, Santa Barbara.

Axe
- Jerry “Killer” Miller – drums (also in Surge, Prowler)
Ciruth Ungle
Misspelled. Rob: “The band that won guitar amp blew up and we loaned them ours. They won and we came in second and used the $500 prize from Goldmine Studio to help record our first album!“
and
“I have some more backstory to this that night Full Sails guitar amp blew up so we loaned them one of ours and they went on to win! It worked out great for us because we got a gift certificate for studio time at goldmine studios which ended up being the start of our first album!
Goldmine was destroyed this year by greedy landlords and is now an auto shop…..
Of course you would have, our band room is near Tom from the Rotters! He said we loaned him a guitar cord also which I don’t remember. Coming in second was a triumph for us at the time! Looking back on those years of playing the battle of the bands were actually quite a bit of fun!”
