![]() (d.Nov. 1994)(aka: Dino Valente)
Claimed
he had formed the band. But, that has been disputed by other members.
Powers was frequently busted for drugs and after one such bust was fired from
Quicksilvers line-up. However he rejoined the group in later years as
lead singer and rhythm guitarist. Other original members were : John
Cipollina (guitar), Gary Duncan, born Gary Grubb (guitar, vocals),
David Freiberg (bass,
vocals and viola), Greg Elmore (drums), and Jim Murray (vocals, guitar,
and harmonica), Murray left the band before they had made a recording. After
Murray left, the band began to tour the west coast of the U.S.. In 1967
they signed with Capital records as did "the Steve Miller Band) who
QSMS had appered with in the movie and soundtrack "Revolution". In 1968
They released "Quicksilver Messenger Service" and in !969 "Happy
Trails". These were the two albums most associated with QSMS's unique
sound.Most original members have died including : john Cipollina in 1989, Nicky Hopkins 1994 and Chester Wiliam Powers also in 1994. The band was resurrected in 1986 by Gary Duncan and has released some albums and a website . In 2006 Duncan and David Freiberg held a 40th anniversary tour. Freiberg and Murray came up with the name Quicksilver Messenger Service . Cipollina and Freiberg wereborn on the same day, and Duncan and Elmore were born on the same day. We were all Virgos and Murray was a Gemini. And Virgos and Geminis are all ruled by the planet Mercury, and another name for Murcury is Quicksilver. And Quicksilver is the messenger of the Gods, and Virgo is the servant so........Quicksilver Messenger Service. |
