Haystacks Balboa "Haystacks Balboa" US Hard Acid Prog Rock. <br /> <br />New York City based, hard-rock band with progressive ideas. They released this self titled album in early 1970. <br />The sound is dominated by hard rock tunes who are typical of the time, like Sabbath or Mountain, with backbreaking heavy fuzzy guitars. <br />The progressive moments are quite nice, long tracks relying on Hammond organ and guitar interplay with extended instrumental stretches. <br />Real heavy dudes with a mean attitude and some wicked guitar - above-par hard rock. A couple of tracks on their album were written by Larry West, formerly of the legendary Vagrants and younger brother of guitar colossus, Leslie Mountain' West. <br />The album was produced by Shadow Morton, aka Shadow Mann. Mayo and Polott still play together in an outfit called Blue Lagoon.. <br /> <br />Haystacks Balboa <br /> <br />*Mark Babani - Drums <br />*Mark Harrison Mayo - Guitar <br />*Lloyd Landesman - Keyboards <br />*Mark Polott - Bass <br />*Bruce Scott - Vocals
