Below is a video of a British band that was blacklisted 35 years ago by the British music industry because they upset someone’s brother by walking out of the other brother’s band. All the original members who walked out to form a new band with a new slide guitarist can be seen performing one of their big hits a few years ago in the video down below. IJWMLTY is synonymous with the band and comes from their first album.

Stuck for a name to call the new band, they opted to go with a working title which was a word the lead singer used years before in a game of Scrabble. Trust a Brit!. It is still hotly debated if the word is indeed a proper word, but what do we care when the newly named band now known as Foghat goes and takes America by storm!

Foghat’s original members were: Dave Peverett (Lead vocals, rythym and lead guitar), Roger Earl (Drums), Rod Price (Slide and Lead Guitar) and Tony Stevens (Bass and backing vocals). Dave, Roger and Tony were members of Savoy Brown until they walked out to form Foghat.

Britain’s best kept top secret musical export went to play, tour then live permanently in the USA. They quickly filled stadiums, (outsold Led Zeppelin), earned double platimum and many gold records in America and other countries around the world but never in all that time, earned a single airplay on any of the the top radio stations in UK until only recently.

The band has gone through a few transformation and changes in personnel. Today the band still tours America and occassionaly gets to Sweden but as yet not to England. The new website is here at Foghat.net
