Interphase was an American progressive rock group consisting of three main members: Noel Avalos (Guitars, Guitar Synthesizers, Keyboards, and vocals); Danny Brand (Bass Guitars, Bass Guitar Synthesizers, and Keyboards); James Bradley (Drums, Percussion, and Percussion Synthesizers). While progressive rock was waning in the USA, Interphase rose to prominence in Europe and Asia, recording four studio albums, and a three vinyl / 2 CD live album set. Interphase was one of the few bands that insisted on never overdubbing. What was heard on the studio albums was played live as well. The first incarnation of Interphase happened in 1978 and had four members: Noel Avalos on guitars, Jimmy Phillips on Guitar, Johnny Fowler on Bass Guitar, and Kirk Lumis on drums. The group had immediate appeal on the college circuit, which propelled them to record a "one off" demo album. Jimmy Phillips was the first to leave the original line up. Noel Avalos decided that he could handle the guitar parts solo. In 1981, Kirk Lumis left the group, and was replaced by James Bradley, a fusion and jazz drummer who had done previous work with Al Hirt, Pat Salvatore, and Warrior. Then in early 1982 Johnny Fowler left the group, and was replaced by Danny Brand. Despite the turmoil, the band continued to gain in popularity. Interphase
