Last Friday's Fire

From: Phoenix, AZ, USA

Last Friday's Fire was one of Mike Condello's (guitar) bands that was signed to Lee Hazelwood's LHI Records in early 1967. Besides Condello, the only other confirmed member of the ensemble was Lynn Castle (vocals). The group was named somewhat darkly by Hazelwood after the Apollo 1 launch pad fire of January 27, 1967 - the week before the ensemble was assembled for its first sessions.

The band issued three singles, including the outstanding 'Something's Happening', their second from the late summer of 1967. Unfortunately they never hit it big, but continued playing together for over 3-years according to Condello.
