DESCRIPTION:
British glam-rock band Silverhead signed to Purple Records in 1972, They toured world wide appearing with Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Nazareth and Kiss, to name just a few. Japan was especially receptive to Silverhead where they experienced beatle-esqe fan swarming. Just when it seemed that Silverhead had the big prize of winning over the US within their grasp, they were disbanded and their potential was never realized.

But that did not stop the music. Nigel Harrison went on to join Blondie and has had a successful career in A&R. Robbie Blunt has recorded with many luminaries such as Robert Plant and the Honey Drippers. Pete Thompson also worked with Plant on Fate of Nations. He has toured and recorded with Robin Trower and old tour mates Ken Hensley and David Byron. Rod Davies began his professional career playing with David Bowie in 1967, worked with brit pop band The Sorrows, then joined Silverhead in 1971. The "Rook" has a new band, The Rod Davies Band, and is writing and performing on the west coast. Michael Des Barres has had a successful career as a musician with the bands Detective, Power Station, and Chequered Past. His song "Obsession " charted Number 1 in 27 countries. The Michael Des Barres Band is currently working all over the LA area. As an actor, Michael is a highly sought-after star of television and movies.
