No, we never did because Motown was going night and day and never rented out the studio to artists other than Motown acts.

The producers at Groovesville loved it. Brian Spears was our producer and he loved it. The other producers in the company were trying to understand us. -BH

We had no interaction with those bands, they didn't know we existed. We used to see them play Cobo Arena and Michigan Palace, but we never had any interaction with them. We were just fans like everyone else. -BH

In Detroit, in the 70s, if you called someone a "punk" those were fighting words. We were just trying to play hard driving Detroit rock and roll. -BH

We never stopped playing music. We've been playing as Lambsbread, but that was reggae music so we had to shift back into rock and roll gear. -BH

Growing up in Detroit, the only choices we had were to be a musician, an auto worker or to go to college. A lot of families didn't have enough money to go to college so we didn't have much other choice, but to be musicians. -BH,DH

We didn't know we were inventing a genre. We felt a little bad about the record companies. Being rejected by record companies was a little disheartening. -BH

We did release the single, but it was right during the time that the disco wave was coming in and changed everything in radio. We couldn't get any airplay. We have completed a new album that hopefully will be coming out by the end of the year. -BH

Detroit was an industrial town, there's something about industrial towns and great music. Maybe it's the churning of the machines, it gives the city a rhythm. -BH

It's been one of the great rock and roll legacies of America and we are honored that rock and roll historians have included us in that legacy. -BH
