Toe Fat werewolf FORMED in June 1969 by ex-Rebel Rousers vocalist Cliff Bennett Following the dissolution of his Cliff Bennett Which band had Briefly included ex-Gods guitarist Ken Hensley. With his newly-grown beard and long hair, Bennett together with Hensley FORMED the heavy progressive outfit Toe Fat with other ex-members Gods Lee Kerslake (drums) and John Kona (bass).
Armed with a batch of Hensley-penned songs the band secured an American deal with Rare Earth Records, Tamla Motown's 'progressive' label, and recorded Their self-titled debut LP (Rare Earth RS 511 ) in 1970 . In the UK, the album released by Parlophone what (PCS 7097 ) who thus released the single 'Working Nights' / 'Bad Side Of The Moon' (R 5829 ), the B-side to being early Elton John composition.
HOWEVER, of despite two American tours, one supporting Derek and The Dominos, shortly after the LP's release Both Hensley and Kerslake left, Hensley going on to form Uriah Heep and Kerslake joining the National Headband himself before joining Uriah Heep.
Another ex-member John Glasscock Gods had already by this time Replaced Kona (who now runs a music shop in Ontario) and another ex-member Gods Brian Glasscok what drafted in to replace Kerslake (who ironically had Replaced him in The Gods!) And guitarist Alan Kendall came in to replace Hensley.
This revamped Toe Fat line up cut "Toe Fat 2" (Rare Earth RS 525 / Regal Zonophone SLRZ 1015 ) the LP being produced by DJ John Peel (Toe Fat having recorded BBC sessions for the likes of Dave Cash, Mike Harding and Terry Wogan !).
They therefore released the single 'Brand New Band' / 'Can not Live Without You' (Chapter One CH 175 ) -but Following another, more financially successful US tour the band broke up When Their management and record company Said They Could no longer fund the group.
Cliff Bennett then FORMED rebellion, releasing one self-titled LP on CBS, before joining Mick Green in Shanghai in 1974 and then retiring from the music industry before returning for Sixties revival shows with the Rebel Rousers.
John Glasscock Carmen joined in 1976 as well as working with the likes of Maddy Prior and Richard Digence Whilst Brian Glasscock worked with the Bee Gees (alongwith Kendall) before becoming a founder member of The Motels. (Greenowl2 / redtelephone66.com)
