Rod Argent began music lessons in 1963, studying at the grammar school of the city Saint-Olbanz, Hertfordshire, where Colin Blunstone (Colin Blunstone), Hugh Grundy (Hugh Grundy) and Paul Atkinson (Paul Atkinson) brought together a rock band THE ZOMBIES . song written and produced such a strong impression on the record company Decca Records, that the long-term contract has been concluded with them.
The team has successfully existed before the end of the sixties, two singles occupied the top places in the charts, and albums of different excellent quality. After the collapse of the ensemble musicians felt pressure from CBS Records, insisted on reunification. Former members of THE ZOMBIES refused. Rod Argent and bassist Chris White (Chris White) do songwriting and production activities in the "Nexus Productions". Company organized them in particular, under the leadership of the first two solo records Colin Blunstone and released the disk group LIFE Life After Death was recorded (1974 Polydor ).
Soon Rod hit on the idea of ??the group. With the intermediate composition (R.Ardzhent, J. Rodford, H. Grundy and Rick Birkett -. Guitar) rehearsals began in the summer of 1968, but after eight months of work, the results were not satisfactory. Argent wanted to record a few songs, planning to release an album do not fall on other plates or singles of things. Were published only two songs "Imagine The Swan" and "If It Do not Work Out", which appeared as a shtatovskih singles and the failed commercially, although later unreleased material of this group Argenta complement reissue bonus tracks on CD-ROM.
Rod Argent chose could not be a better time to start an independent career, having had time to build on the success of the last hit THE ZOMBIES "Time Of The Season". Debuting in March 1969 and immediately causing the sympathy of many British rock critics, ARGENT gave first overseas concert in July 1969. sound team observers in PN-Club Munich. isolated "good musicians technique" and "a significant proportion of the jazz".
In January 1970 came the first, which is considered the most consistent album. He was born in a similar style later THE ZOMBIES-adjusted grown requests public. Even then manifested composing talent Russ Ballard, who wrote the song "Liar", which the Americans THREE DOG NIGHT turned into a worldwide hit. Worthy of mention also "Like Honey" and choose to double the budget of the collection Fill Your Head With Rock "Dance In The Smoke".
Robert Christgau wrote about the band's debut album: "Dance In The Smoke" is related to "Time Of The Season" as well as "Time Of The Season" with "She's Not There", extending a slight whiff of pop music keyboardist-vocalist and composer Rod Argenta another step by the same sweetness towards witchcraft. Add a solemn "Liar" guitarist and composer Russ Ballard, who played earlier in UNIT 4 + 2, and the entire first side turns into a memorable mysterious ritual, at the climax of which flames explodes all over the world with his concerns. Nevertheless, they appear on the second side again. "
Simultaneously with the release of the album in America, the group first made a two-month tour of the United States, performing in such prestigious halls as the Boston "Tea Party", Chicago "Kinetic Playground", Los Angeles "Whiskey-A-Go-Go" and both halls "Fillmore "-" Fillmore East "in New York and" Fillmore West "in San Francisco.
Second Long-play Ring Of Hands will consolidate the ensemble's reputation and caused a surge of interest in the team on both sides of the Atlantic that convincingly argued circulation records sold.
ARGENT regarded as a rising star style "flash-rock", which then dominated EMERSON, LAKE AND PALMER and, in part, YES. But do not forget that ARGENT had talented and original guitarist, which together with the body of Rod Argenta has allowed them to create your own , unique sound. in general, they are composed heavier than most bands of that period, the music better organized rhythmically, with lyrics written in minor keys, with the full texts of mysticism, which left a lasting impression.
Group has been active on the market sorokopyatok. Although their debut UK single "Celebration" / "Kingdom" (1971 of Epic), which in America was preceded by "Liar /" Schoolgirl "(October 1969) and" Sweet Mary "/" Rejoice "(March 1971), failed to chart, second - "Hold Your Head Up" - waiting for a huge success.
Interesting is his story. The song was written by Rod Argent and bassist Chris White THE ZOMBIES. Nearly seven-minute song originally came out as a maxi-single "Hold Your Head Up" / "Closer To Heaven" / "Keep On Rollin '" (1971 Epic), the second side of which were two other songs. Six months it remained unnoticed until 4 in March 1972 in an edited form (with a shortened title track version) "Hold Your Head Up" / "Closer to Heaven" at twelve weeks is not ranked fifth British popularity lists, and in the United States got into the Top 10 and expenses for 12,000 copies per day Of course, the song is not reprinted. But neither in 1975, 1976, 1979, or even 1982 and 1984, she was unable to repeat the success of the first.
Released in June 1971 Ring Of Hands and introduced in April next year, All Together Now, which is April 29, 1972 took place the thirteenth British charts and was the twenty-third position of the charts "Billboard" for two months, showed a definite musical group significantly advances the sound "heavier".
Both plates are well dispersed, successfully toured the UK and the US. However, by the time the third disc became apparent that ARGENT "from expressive restraint deflected toward self-indulgence." Among the critics was talk about the band's crisis. Most often, this mention was published in March 1973. In Deep, March 31 has risen to the forty-ninth place the British charts, where it stayed for weeks.
"The Group has adopted a" rapid-fire "approach to music with cheerful melodies and astounding riffing, lost in the ocean too fond of solo and arrogant arrangements."
The disc is dominated by mellotron synth and Rhoda, the music became more smooth. Following the fashion arose when the record was released in quadraphonic version, but got only to the forty-ninth charts. The reason for this is probably the fact that the musicians are tired of constant touring and lost the taste of novelty.
By adopting the tradition of open records hit single, group, after the relative failure of "Tragedy / Rejoice" (Epic), July 10, 1972 only thirty-fourth place at seven weeks, released in March, the second successful sorokopyatki "God Gave Rock & Roll To You" / "Christmas For the Free" (1973 Epic), which is quipped criticism, "looked like going at a fast pace funeral service, something like perky funeral Mass." March 24, 1973 single rose to eighteenth place British popularity lists where he stayed for two months, and taken from the same Long-play "it's Only Money (Part 2)" / "Candle On the River" (1973 Epic) failed.
Released in February 1974, Nexus has demonstrated that the group is at a crossroads: the stock of old ideas was exhausted, and new were difficult. No epic "Thunder And Lightning" / "Keeper Of The Flame" (1974 Epic), or "Man For All Reasons / Music From The Spheres" (1974 Epic) did not add anything new. At the end of the month he announced his retirement Russ Ballard. ARGENT lost a substantial part of the composer's talent.
To replace Ballard was introduced guitarist John Grimaldi (John Grimaldi 25.5.1955) of the ensemble FLUX, a few months later came the singer-guitarist John Verity (John Verity 2.5.1944), whose JOHN VERITY BAND ARGENT performed with a support band on a tour of Great Britain. In company with Verity then played Lit Jeff (Geoff Lyth - keyboards, guitar), Jerry Smith (Gerry Smith - bass guitar) and Ron Kelly (Ron Kelly - drums). "Not devoid of pomposity," the group has released one disc - John Verity Band (1974 Probe).
Introduced in November 1974 Encore included live versions of songs by famous studio album, two of the most famous ensemble hits and a new version of "Time Of The Season".
In March 1975 came out, little has changed concept album Circus with the single "Highwire" / "Circus" (1975 Epic). The ensemble moved to CBS / Epic secession Corporation RCA Good Earth, for whom they recorded a bad Counterpoint and the last of the original single "Rock 'n' Roll Show / It's Fallen Off "(1975 RCA). In early 1976, he left Grimaldi, and by mid-year ARGENT become history.
John Verity, Jim Rodford and Robert Henry founded the PHOENIX trio quickly disintegrated, releasing in October 1976, one unremarkable Long-play. Interestingly, when four years later John Verity revived "Phoenix" with Henritom and guitarist Ray Minginnetom (Ray Minhinnett), the disc recording In Full View (1980 Charisma) helped them like Russ Ballard and Rod Argent.
In 1980, Verity auditioned for the role of vocalist in URIAH HEEP, assisted in the work of the best Long pleem Good Morning America (1981 RCA) group CHARLIE, he has recorded two CDs in the spirit of melodic hard rock - Interrupted Journey (PRT 1983) and Truth Of The Matter (PRT 1,985), was produced by a group of "new wave of British heavy metal" MARSEILLE (LP Touch The Night - 1984 Ultra Noise).
Rod Argent opened a shop for the sale of keyboards, and having met in 1977 on the program presentation by Andrew Lloyd Webber (Andrew Lloyd Webber) Variations - 23 Variations on Paganini Caprices twenty-fourth with Gary Moore (Gary Moore), bassist John Mole ( John Mole), saxophonist MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND Barbara Thompson (Barbara Thompson), drummer John Haysmenom (Jon Hiseman) and Phil Collins (Phil Collins), R.Ardzhent in January 1978 took part in the recording of the album of the same name Lloyd-Webber.
The songwriting of the first Moving Home solo album, which feels a strong influence of jazz, Rhoda helped Gary Moore, flutist Jack Lancaster (Jack Lancaster), Phil Collins and Morris Perth (Morris Pert), bass players Alphonso Johnson (Alphonso Johnson) and Clive Chapman ( Clive Chapman).
Four years later, in the creation of a joint project with Barbara Thompson Ghosts he accompanied guitarist Keith Eiri (Keith Airey), John Mole and John Highsmith. Last produced following the work of Rod Shadowshow, created in 1983-84 with John. Haysmenom, B.Tompson and guitarist-bassist Clem Klempsonom (Dave 'Clem' Clempson). In 1988 he left Red House, which Argent decided to try his hand at classical forms, writing a quarter after three Gymnopedies Erik Satie.
"In 1990, - writes V.Sergienko - Rod was involved in work on the concept album Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black (Don Black) Tell Me On A Sunday, then he wrote Masquerade Musical." In addition, it is engaged in work on television, in film and production activities.
Russ Ballard is best known as a songwriter ( "Come And Get Your Love", "Since You've Been Gone", "New York Groove", So You Win Again "), who willingly used the metal band, and as a producer (AMERICA, Roger Daltrey, Leo Sayer, Elkie Brooks). His solo career proceeded smoothly. from weak early drives it rose to "high-grade hard rock albums (Barnet Dogs and Into The Fire) with running at full speed guitar".
In June 1985, Goodman Graham (Graham Gouldman) from 10CC organized a charity concert, the proceeds of which went into a special fund for the families of victims of a fire in Bradford City football club. On this concert performed reformed for one intervention group ARGENT.
In general, team, wrote Dave Laing, "combined a passion for progressive rock with the sentimentality of pop music in the manner anticipated such projects the mid-seventies, as the QUEEN and SUPERTRAMP", although they were expected something more ( "A great example of a good idea , has not found full embodiment.
