forgotten black rock band:xavion Xavion was the bomb !They were like Full Force ,but rocked. Their singer blew like a prince wannabe/ready for the world clone and they had teh androgyny going. I have their cassette and it still sounds good. I actually downloaded their only(to my knowledge) single last night on an obscure rock site. The album was called Burning Up and they were Mazarati before Mazarati. They jammed and they even got airtime on mtv. Hall and Oates liked them so much they had them open on one of their last big tours. Then,they disappeared.Just like my still beloved Follow For Now. "I'm a pig..so,magic elixir I swill" | |

I forgot about them. They rocked. Also, whatever happened to Sound Barrier? "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |
