Info:
This is the short story of a rock band. It's a fairly innocuous story, it has a beginning, a couple ugly bumps and then a very nice ending. Like every band, 805 worked hard, had fun, had fights, tried to make it...our stab at the big time landed us grasping at the status of "One Hit Wonder". . . It began almost 30 years ago and keeps going.
Dave Porter had a college band called 805 for a brief period in the early '70s. (See photo #1 for the story of how 805 got its name) The name was reused and the group was ‘born again’ (no, not like that) in 1977. With a goal to play progressive rock in a multi-media, theatrical stage setting, the band set off on a club circuit that stretched from Thunder Bay, Ontario to Greensboro, South Carolina. The music was always upper level rock - covers by Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Peter Gabriel, Thomas Dolby, King Crimson, Level 42, even the occasional Weather Report or Yellowjackets.
