dbpprop:abstract
  • "The Gods" were an English group founded in 1965. The bandmembers included Mick Taylor, Brian Glascock and John Glascock. They were schoolmates from Hatfield and had been playing together as The Juniors (or The Strangers), a band they formed in 1962. Also part of this band were Malcolm Collins and Alan Shacklock. They eventually signed with EMI / Columbia Records. Their first 7" single (Columbia DB7339) appeared in 1964 ("There's a Pretty Girl"/"Pocket Size"). In 1965, the line-up changed. Mick Taylor continued to play guitar and teamed up with Ken Hensley (organ/vocals) (later guitarist with Uriah Heep). They also added Joe Konas (guitar/vocals) and changed their name to "The Gods". In 1966, The Gods opened for Cream at the Starlite Ballroom in Wembley, London. A single (Come On Down To My Boat Baby/Garage Man) was recorded in early 1967. At this point the line-up included Mick Taylor, Ken Hensley, John Glascock, Brian Glascock and Lee Kerslake. In May 1967, Mick Taylor got a call from John Mayall who was looking for a new guitarist. When Taylor joined the Bluesbreakers, he left behind a faltering bluesband. The band sought to revive their fortunes on the club/college circuit. They relocated to London and secured a residency at The Marquee. John Glascock (bass) was replaced by Greg Lake in June 1967. The problem was that Greg Lake was too talented for the background role the rest of the band had in mind for him and in the Summer of 1968 he split to join King Crimson. The band had to re-group again and John Glascock was asked to return. With John Glascock back in the fold they recorded a couple of progressive rock albums and a few 45s. Of their 45s, "Hey! Bulldog", the Beatles track, is their best known, and both sides have been included on compilation CD "The Great British Psychedelic Trip Vol. 3". The band played an amalgam of psychedelia and progressivism. Tracks like "Towards The Skies" and "Time And Eternity" from their 1968 album Genesis are full of heavy ploughing Hammond organ and distorted guitar riffs and Ken Hensley's unique and rather dramatic vocals add a further dimension. Most of The Gods' material is fairly typical late sixties pop/rock, epitomised by songs like "Radio Show" and "Yes I Cry". There are shades of Vanilla Fudge on their cover of West Side Story extract "Maria". On a few tracks like "Candlelight" and "Real Love Guaranteed" there is an inkling of the heavier sound Hensley and Kerslake would propagate in their next venture, Uriah Heep. The Gods were the successors of the Rolling Stones at the famous Marquee Club in London. After recording two albums, Genesis (1968) and To Samuel a Son (1969), they signed with a new record company, recruited Rebel Rousers singer Cliff Bennett and changed their name to Toe Fat which also lasted two years and two albums.

The Gods начинали с ритм-энд блюза и блюз-рока, но в 1968-69 годах стали создавать экспериментальный психоделический арт-рок, впоследствии высоко оценивавшийся музыкальными критиками.
  • The Gods var en brittisk progressiv rockgrupp bildad 1965 av Ken Hensley. I den ursprungliga gruppen ingick förutom Hensley Mick Taylor (gitarr), John Glascook och Brian Glascook. Taylor lämnade gruppen 1967 för att gå vidare till John Mayall's Bluesbreakers och senare till The Rolling Stones. Hensley träffade basisten Paul Newton, vars far var musikdirektör, och ombildade gruppen med Newton, John Konas (bas) och Lee Kerslake (trummor). Newton lämnade gruppen och ersattes av basisten Greg Lake, som även han lämnade gruppen 1968 för att bilda King Crimson, just när man skulle spela in sitt första album. John Glascook återvände till gruppen och man spelade in albumet Genesis. När det andra albumet To Samuel a Son gavs ut 1969 hade gruppen redan upplösts och övergått till Toe Fat. John Glascock spelade senare i Jethro Tull och Newton, Kerslake och Hensley i Uriah Heep.
