Biography: Michael Roe, Mark Harmon and Bruce Spencer; guitarist, bassist, drummer. The power jazz trio playing it all from gritty blues rock-n-roll to soaring, jangly pop. The Seventy Sevens. What started out in the early 80s as an informal band has gone through several incarnations and evolved into what many reviewers call, "the most formidable artistic talents in the business." Since the Sevens’ debut, Ping Pong Over the Abyss, the band has released eleven additional critically acclaimed albums on several labels, including Island, Myrrh and the Sevens’ own Fools of the World. In recent years, a box set of the first three releases was re-issued and a live "best-of" album was recorded and produced for the Fools of the World label. And the Sevens continue to release new studio offerings, including the edgy Tom Tom Blues and the polished, progressive EP. Their latest studio effort, the summery, layered pop rock of A Golden Field of Radioactive Crows is to be released by Fools of the World and distributed by Diamante on April 4, 2001. The 77s have toured extensively in the last few years and 2001 will again see the Sevens on the road and at most of the major summer festivals. Details are always available at 77s.com.
