American Blood

Product Description Group formed by Lane Steinberg and Steve Barry (formerly Steve Katz) after they disbanded mid-80s power pop trio the Wind. Review An amazing parallel rock and roll universe all contained on one CD. A phenomenal CD. --Rock & Roll Report 07/05 "this monster of songwriting...coming off like a modern day Buffalo Springfield." --Anchorage Press 06/05 "cet album devrait donc leur apporter une jolie consolation." --Vinnie Terranova/Pop News About the Artist Tan Sleeve's Lane Steinberg and Steve Barry are the twin bastard children of the late actor James Coco. They were separated at birth and adopted by to two different sets of parents. One set stayed in the Encino area of California, while the other set became missionaries in Sierra Leone. They met by accident at a rave in Leeds, England... Tan Sleeve's Lane Steinberg and Steve Barry were both child geniuses who first met when they were both seven-year old contestants on a game show for gifted children called "What A Kid". Barry won first prize by correctly identifying the mathematical theorem for the weight of mint jelly... Originally the brain trust behind eighties pop warhorse, the Wind, Lane & Steve took a detour from music and wound up in international banking. The global equities group, Brazillo Inc., was sold in 1999. Now both financially secure, they are pursuing their original goal, opening a Vietnamese cooking school. The fall season is almost filled up, so write immediately to insure a space... THE REAL STORY?????? It started in Miami, Florida, back in the eighties. The Wind was a fiery popcombo who "recalled the Beatles and Big Star" according to then-Rolling Stone writer Kurt Loder who gave the unknown group an unheard-of one page rave review in that paper. The group were local faves. The thrombosis-inducing live shows that went down at places like the Button and 27 Birds are still spoken of with reverence in the southeast. The band self-released the now-legendary "Where It's At With The Wind" and the Mitch Easter-produced "Guest Of The Staphs". A third LP, "Living In A New World" (Midnight Records) yielded the big MTV hit "Good News, Bad News". Then, like all good bands and butterflies, the Wind shriveled up and died. . End of story? Nah. After getting involved in projects as far flung as TV sitcoms and surrealist musical theater, the Wind's primary songwriters, Lane Steinberg & Steve Katz (now Steve Barry) found themselves living around the corner from each other in New Y
