Fireballet were a Progressive rock band based in New Jersey in the early to mid-seventies. Their brand of music blended the sounds of bands such as Genesis, King Crimson, and Deep Purple with the chamber pop bands such as The Left Banke from the late 60s. They disbanded in 1976, but now the albums are finally being officially released on CD after only being available as bootlegs for so long. The embers have been stirred and it appears that Fireballet are about to reemerge on the music scene.
Jim Cuomo: Percussion, Lead and Backing Vocals
Brian Hough: Hammond Organ, Other Organs, Keyboards, and Backing Vocals
Ryche Chlanda: Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Electronic Devices, and Vocals
Frank Petto: Pianos, Synthesizers, Mellotron, Various Other Keyboards, and Vocals
Martyn Biglin: Bass, 12-String Guitar, Pedals

Hey Bill K!
Thanks for the FireBallet info.
I was thinking of going to NEARFEST this year and now that I know that I may be able to get an FB shirt or CD it's just more motivation to get there.
