Michael Brown's (The Left Banke) Last Group
Songwriter/keyboardist Michael Brown established his credentials with The Left Banke, Montage and The Stories. Frustrated with The Stories' musical direction and lacked of widespread success, Brown quit in 1973. Following a two year hiatus he reappeared with The Beckies (singer Scott Trusty and former Chessmann Square drummer Gary Hodgden and guitarist Mayo James McAllister).
Signed by Sire, 1976's "The Beckies" featured a thoroughly entertaining collection of pop-rock. Exemplified by material such as "Ride By My Side (Etude)", "Midnight and You" and "River Bayou" the set underscored Brown's knack for penning catchy, commercial melodies. Among the few complaints, neither Hodgden nor Trusty were inspired singers (in case anyone cared, Hodgden was probably the better of the two). Unfortunately, in spite of rave reviews, in an era of disco madness, the set vanished without a trace. The band quickly followed suit, as has Brown who's effectively dropped out of the music scene over the ensuring three decades.
