The Klubbs

THE KLUBBS

The Klubs’ popularity had begun to decline by 1969, and the band eventually trimmed down to a power trio: John Reid (vocals, guitar), Paddy Breen (vocals, bass) and Peter Sinclair-Tidy (drums). They recorded two songs that year, a stripped-down version of “Can’t Ebenezer See My Mind?” plus “The Stripper”; neither was released, however. Both are also included on the Midnight Love Cycle CD and are quite good, though they suffer from production issues. Briefly called the Klubbs, they later performed as Warhog; Norris Easterbrook now calls the latter group “a heavy metal dirge band”.
