(SHOTGUN LTD...) by (SHOTGUN LTD )...... ....( From the desk of Joe Gutierrez, singer of the band: “We all grew up in the Culver City, Mar Vista area of Los Angeles. The band was originally a 5 piece surf instrumental band called The Twilighters. I joined them about 1967 when they wanted a little more singing. I would eventually be the Mick Jagger Model Front Man. The band then was renamed The Ash and we got pretty popular on the West Side in my high school years, making pretty good money on the weekends, and becoming more of a progressive rock cover band. We even managed to play at The Galaxy on the Sunset Strip where The Doors had been regulars. We also did a month at Gazzari’s up the street. Things got a little serious about 1969, when the drummer suggested we start composing our own music. We had been doing a semi residency at a local Teen Club and we actually stopped playing there about a year later for about 3 months to write songs. We came back and got a positive reaction to our own music and decided to pursue ‘the dream’ of a recording contract. My girlfriend’s father got us hooked up to Rick Jarrad who produced Jefferson Airplane to record a single on ABC Probe that went no where. Our bass player decided to leave soon after, and suggested if we were serious, to also replace the drummer. We did. We auditioned a few bass players, and then our rhythm guitarist offered to play bass. We stuck with him. One night we met a guy named Jim Loppnow who was managing another band. He eventually became our manager, and he got us, about a year later, the open door to Prophesy Records, a label started by Mickey Shapiro, future lawyer for Fleetwood Mac.
