REUBEN ARCHER info
Reuben Archer
(vocals)
First band I know with Reuben is Lautrec, but I
need more info on them.
Around February 1981. Reuben Archer joins Lionheart:
-
Reuben Archer (vocals)
-
Dennis Stratton (guitar)
-
Steve Mann (guitar)
-
Rocky
Newton (bass)
-
Frank Noon (drums)
But this wasn't for too long, as Reuben Archer and
Frank Noon abandon the band before in June 1981, to join Wild Horses soon
after, playing their first live gig at The Marquee in August 1981:
-
Reuben Archer (vocals)
-
John Lockton (guitar)
-
Laurence Archer (guitar)
Jimmy
Bain (bass)
Frank Noon (drums)
But Reuben & Laurence Archer soon leave the band
to form Stampede, and Wild Horses finally split in October 1981. This was
the original lineup for Stampede:
-
Reuben Archer (vocals)
-
Laurence Archer (guitar)
Francois Moreau (bass)
Alan Nelson (keyboards)
Frank Noon (drums)
But around 1982, the lineup changes when Frank Noon
leaves them:
-
Reuben Archer (vocals)
-
Laurence Archer (guitar)
Colin Bond (bass)
Eddie Parsons (drums)
Stampede released two albums with this new lineup:
the live one Official bootleg and Hurricane town.
I also have a live track by Stampede in the 2LP live album Reading
Rock.
They split around 1983, when Laurence Archer joins
Phil Lynott in Grand Slam.
And I don't have more updated info on him. Anybody
knows, please?
As a side note, Reuben Archer is stepfather to
Laurence Archer. I remember a similar case in the band Spirit (Ed Cassidy
was stepfather to the missed Randy California).
Albums with Stampede:
-
Official bootleg (1982)
(with Laurence Archer) (live)
-
Hurricane town (1983)
