The manager of the band was also editor of Music Connection.  These guys had a record contract with BMG and did our demo with Nicky Hopkins before he passed away.  We headlined the Palimino and Coconut Teaser regularly, and had really good press, earning an 8 of 10 in Musician's Connection band ratings.  It was the first time I showcased for record labels, including BMG and Giant records, and the closest thing to commerical success in Los Angeles.
