Supergroup formed from founding members of Blues Image, Rare Earth, Sugarloaf, and Cannibal and the Headhunters. These guys really rock and put on a great live show...Mike Pinera still plays guitar like a Million $$$ and Pete Rivera and Jerry Corbetta still sing and play just like you remember 30 years ago...and you'd be hard pressed to find a better bass player than Dennis Noda. If you get a chance to catch them in concert, don't miss the opportunity. They're a real tight band, and are doing a great job to keep their music alive.

Jerry Corbetta, founder, keyboardist and original lead singer of the melodically and lyrically-oriented Green-Eyed Lady group Sugarloaf. Besides the often-heard and much-praised Green-eyed Lady, the group found gold with Don't Call Us, We'll Call You in February 1975. Life after Sugarloaf was just as artistically lucrative for Jerry when he released a solo album for Warner Bros.
In 1979, Jerry joined Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons and he still found time to write hit songs for Grace Jones, and Belinda Carlisle. As well as for Roberta Flack/Peabo Bryson duo who recorded the love-song classic You're Lookin' Like Love to Me that went gold and climbed right to the top of the charts. Jerry has thrived as a performer/writer and record producer in the '80s and since 1992 has performed worldwide with The Rare Earth, Iron Butterfly, Sugarloaf All-Stars.

Peter Rivera, is the original lead singer, drummer and founder of the '70s supergroup Rare Earth, the first white band to sign with Motwon. With eight gold albumes, three platinum and six top five singles, Rare Earth's hits included Get Ready, Losing You, I Just Want to Celebrate, Born to Wander and Hey Big Brother. With Peter on the drums and at the mike on lead vocals, Rare Earth sold over twenty-five million records. Rivera has been called the premier rock drummer/vocalist of the '70s. Their Get Ready album is honored in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Mike Pinera, is an original singer and guitarist for Iron Butterfly and The Blues Image. He received his first gold record for Blues Images' Ride Captain Ride, a classic radio mainstay, which he wrote and sang. After The Blues Image split, he went to join Iron Butterfly, the first group ever to be awarded a platinum album. The legendary hit, Inna Gadda Da Vida stayed on top of the charts for fifty-six consecutive weeks. Pinera later went on to discover and produce Black Oak Arkansas, resulting in a gold album. He also contributed his considerable talent to Alice Cooper for two tours and two albums.

Dennis Noda is funky rockin' bassist with a high visibility factor. His early musical career found himself in Cannibal & The Headhunters who achieved international acclaim with the hit Land of a Thousand Dances. He later went on to become an in-demand musician performing with Edwin Starr, Al Wilson, Chuck Negron (Three Dog Night), Joey Molland (Badfinger), Bobby Kimball (Toto) and numerous others. Dennis served as Music Director for Micky Dolenz of the Monkees; Otis Day and the Knights (National Lampoon's Animal House; Shout); and for several tours of The 30 Years of Rock 'n Roll Show, where he became friends with Mike Pinera and Jerry Corbetta and along with Peter Rivera, joined the now famous Rare Earth, Iron Butterfly, Sugarloaf All Stars.
