Iron Butterfly ( B7 )

IB's lineup was in a contant state flux from late 1979 on as exhibited in the following groupings: Brann, Dorman, Leimseider, Caldwell and Hasbrook (1979); Pinera, Brann, Dorman, Hasbrook, Caldwell and Nathan Pino - keyboards (1979); Dorman, Brann, Hasbrook, Tim Kislan - keyboards, Zam Johnson - drums and Starz Vanderlocket - vocals, percussion (1980); Dorman, Rhino, Leimseider, Randy Skirvin - guitar, Jimmy Rock - drums and Luke - vocals, percussion (1981-1982); Pinera, Dorman, Rhino, Guy Babylon - keyboards and Jan Uvena - drums (1982) plus Pinera, Dorman, Rhino, Babylon and Bushy (1982).
On July 31 1982, the Pinera, Dorman, Rhino, Babylon and Bushy lineup went into Music Sound Connection Studio in Studio City, California to record some material, none of which has ever been released.
At the tail end of 1982, Ingle returned to the fold once more as John Shearer (from Steve Hackett's band) came in on drums and percussionist Luke also rejoined since Bushy had taken a sales job outside of music for Makita Tools. Brann (who had guested at some shows during 1982) soon ended his association with the band at this time as well.
Pinera left again, as did Luke, in 1983 and IB worked on some more material in September of that year, with drummer Jerry Sommers playing on some tracks. But once again, nothing ever came of it.
Then Ingle, Dorman, Rhino and drummer Rick Rotante undertook the "Wings of Flight Tour" in early 1984, with Lenny Campanero (ex-Badfinger) replacing Rotante for more recording sessions at Salty Dog Studios in Van Nuys, California.
