HAYSTACKS BALBOA - Polydor Records 1970

Heavy Rock Band based in New York City, formed in 1969, based on the long musical association of LLOYD LANDESMAN and MARK MAYO. Their sound was influenced by their association with LESLIE WEST, formerly of the VAGRANTS, and later of MOUNTAIN fame as well as keyboard influence of EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER. Some listeners have also have suggested a parallel to the sounds of BLACK SABBATH.

Some of their gigs included opening for PAUL BUTTERFIELD at the NY State Pavilion, JETHRO TULL at the Central Park Schaeffer Festival, TEN YEARS AFTER at the Capitol Theater and touring with ROD STEWART & THE SMALL FACES.
