: : : : OK I pulled out an album from my collection a few weeks ago and I hav'nt stopped playing it since. Its by a Cleveland band from the early 80s called American Noise. My brother used to get me into their shows when I was still underage. I loved those guys and I still very much love this album. Singer songwriter and guitarist Craig Balzer wrote some really good stuff on that album. Ive spent hours trying to find out what happened to these guys. One great album and poof they're gone.I know that drummer Tommy Rich went on to drum for Donnie Iris. And keyboardist George Sipl played with Eric Carmen and did some producing. Are you familiar with this band?

: : : Of course...

: : : I thought Craig was a major talent and they had that Northcoast sound that was getting big in that era by way of MSB. I know that Craig was in another Cleveland band before American Noise and before that he put out an album in the late 70s with a group called Decembers Children. Thats about all I know but I want to know more.

: : : Such as??.......

: : : Please Host help me out. Do I sound crazy? This groups one and only album came out 24 years ago and Ive always wondered what happened to them.
: : : *************
: : : They all went their seperate ways. Craig and his brother Bruce are in the speciality adverstisment business. Greg Holt just started picking up the bass and and has been seen around town of late. Jerry Moran is way off the radar...
: : : You had Sipl and Rich figured out as to what they've been doing of late. George also plays keyboards with a local band that plays out 6 times a year: Northern Lights. Tommy fills in with everyone including the Burnt River Band.

: : : WNCX still plays songs from this record from time to time so I guess the band cant be that bad.Give me the scoop Host! I was told that you are my great hope! Thank you
