Lost Bands of Yesteryear #3 - BIG STAR

Scroll down for links to Big Star’s music:

The band we are about to talk about today is a group that had everything going for it….. They had members with previous musical pedigree, all of the members could sing and write, and they had an ear for pop sensibilities and hit making tunes….. But for some reason, it just didn’t work out….. The pressure led to drug and alcohol abuse, poor management and even physical altercations and equipment destruction between the members of the band….. And only a few years later, finally after a tragic death, it was all over…… Or was it?…… Today, we examine the influential American band BIG STAR, next, on Lost Bands of Yesteryear.
