Pesky Gee!

Now only footnote in ’60s rock and roll background, Leicester, England’s Pesky Gee! are probably remembered even more for the music group that they truly became — notorious Satan-worshipers Dark Widow — than because of their actual music. Acquiring their name from a tune in another regional group’s repertoire, Pesky Gee! had been originally formed being a spirit band before continuous gigging slowly pressed them toward a far more experimental and intensifying style of rock and roll & move. By 1968, the music group contains Kay Garrett (business lead vocals), Kip Trevor (vocals, electric guitar, harmonica), Chris Dredge (electric guitar), Clive Jones (saxophone, flute), Alan Hornsby (brass), Bob Connection (bass), and Clive Container drums, and acquired signed a cope with Pye Information. A cover of Vanilla Fudge’s “Where Is certainly My Brain” was selected as their initial one in March 1969, however when it didn’t graph, both Dredge and Hornsby flew the house, being changed by guitarist Jim Gannon keyboardist Jess “Zoot” Taylor. Spending short amount of time, this “brand-new and improved” lineup were able to record Pesky Gee!’s cleverly entitled first record, Exclamation Mark, within a, one-night, four-hour program. Issued in June of the same season, the record unfortunately fared no much better than their one, as well as the impatient Pye shortly showed them the entranceway. Feeling that particular incarnation acquired run its training course, and simultaneously watching the overall populace’s growing desire for forbidden topics like dark magic as well as the occult, Pesky Gee! made a decision to re-invent themselves being a theatrically Satanic clothing by supposing the fittingly conspicuous name of Dark Widow.
