The Nomads

The Nomads was one of the groups, and many Tx groups, using that name in the 1960s. The psychedelic music group arrived of Tx and accounts of their account vary, although all resources feature Frank Zigel (or Zigal) as lead vocalist and Doug (or Costs) Kirby on keyboards; some resources provide Johnny Orvis as the name of their lead guitarist, Fred Thomas on bass, and Shawn Bennett on drums; some resources also place Adam Manlove from the Rebellers within their lineup. Zigel was a charismatic vocalist with an earnestness in his performing that produced him audio both great and susceptible, and in conjunction with a melodic electric guitar audio, generated some exciting and haunting singles, such as for example “I’M GOING TO BE There” (which is similar to a livelier edition of the Electric powered Prunes’ “Onie”). They may possibly also audio punk if they needed to, as on the Orbit Records saving of “My Small Red Reserve,” which includes a extremely aggressive droning body organ. The group afterwards evolved in to the Smoke cigarettes, with Johnny Orvis as the prominent character in the music group, and cut information for Uni in 1969, after relocating to California.
