Steve Took's Horns

Steve Took's Horns — which featured the first pairing of guitarist Trevor Thoms and drummer Ermanno Ghisio-Erba, later of Inner City Unit (ICU) — recorded three studio tracks in November 1977. The band performed on 18 June 1978 at the Roundhouse as part of "Nik Turner's Bohemian Love-In." But Took felt the gig went badly, and pulled the plug on the band shortly after they came offstage.
