Boomerang

Although these were blessed right away with stronger business connections and longer music pedigree than most new hard rock and roll acts of the first ’70s, New York’s appealing Boomerang by no means lived up to commercial expectations, and their failed bid for stardom was both disappointing and fleeting. When the Vanilla Fudge tempo portion of Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice quit to create hard rockers Cactus in 1970, vocalist and key pad player Tag Stein briefly regarded as transporting on with alternative musicians before recognizing he’d perform better shifting to newer pastures himself. Turning down an present from Atlantic Information manager Ahmet Ertegun to record a single album, Stein go about forming a fresh outfit to front side, and the effect was the short-lived Boomerang. Drummer Wayne Galluzi and bassist/vocalist Jo Casmir had been both Vanilla Fudge followers from close by Poughkeepsie, NY, and with the introduction of teenage acoustic guitar prodigy Ricky Ramirez, Boomerang dove headlong into composing and rehearsing fresh material inside a bluesy, hard rock and roll vein that was a lot more straightforward compared to the Fudge. Rating a cope with RCA, Boomerang released their self-titled debut in 1971, but had been soon floundering because of less-than sterling concert events and leader Tag Stein’s own insufficient motivation. Sharing administration using the notably more lucrative Cactus designed for some unpleasant politics aswell, and, although another album was in fact documented, a disillusioned and disinterested Stein made a decision to shelve both record and Boomerang’s profession forever.
