Here is an old article on the Endless Knights.
Post-Standard, The | Syracuse, New York | Saturday, August 06, 1966 | Page 20
Teen
Beat
By ELLEN JENSEN
The name has been changed
from "Little Rick and the
Del-Shays" to the "Endless
Knights/' and with the more
mature name has come a
more mature sound.
The group is only a year
old, and yet within that year
the 15-year-old sound of the
Del-Shays has turned into a
strong, versatile style that no
longer merits the word "little."
This fact was proven at
the Rolling Stones show, in
w h i c h the Endless Knights
was the only local group to
appear.
Permitted three numbers in
the show, the group started
with "I Got My Mojo Workin',"
a loud, heavy number
calculated to rouse the and
i e n c c. Their best number
was 'Bring It On Home To
Me," which they did with
strength that is hard to come
by. They finished with "Little
L a t i n Lupe Lou," another
driving song with an unusual
beat.
P l a y i n g such different
styles, however, as not new to
the Endless Knights. They're
ready to play anything that is
a bit wild or unusual.
Paul Petrocci, the lead guitar
player, composes many
songs which are added to the
group's varied repertoire. The
best of his original numbers is
"Subdued Wish of a Tormented.
Man," which the boys plan
to record. An advertising design
major at Syracuse University,
Paul is also a master
of the drums and organ.
All the boys in the group,
however, are talented musically.
They boast of playing
12 instruments among them.
Rick Mozo, a cool Spaniard
With a love of wild clothes
^d anything connected with
performing, i s an integral
part of the group. As the voc
a 1 i s t, .Rick acts as the
spokesman a n d leader. On
stage he is a confident showman,
a contrast to his offstage
quiet self.
On d r u m s the Endless
Knights feature Chip Gales, a
soft-spoken person who demands
little from the group
except the right to be heard.
He doesn't sing; he makes
himself known with his beat.
As the group's Old married
man, Chip spends his free
time with his family.
The Endless Knights are
blessed with a clown in Denny
S c a 1 a, their bass player.
While Mozo is a constant performer,
Denny is often the
one that instigates the other
band members into a clowning
session that contributes to
their reputation as showmen.
D a v e Julian is replacing
Lou Neri, the organist, who
entered the Navy last month.
D a v e played with another
band, The Great Lakes, before
coming to the Endless
K n i g h t s to harmonize with
Rick. He can also play load
and rhythm guitar.
The last, unsung member of
the Endless Knights is Dick
Meccareilli, t h e i r managerproducer.
Dick spends all of
his free time with the group,
setting up their equipment,
coaching t h e m and finding
them jobs. Dick is now working
on sending the group to
New York to cut a record.
The Endless Knights are
searching for their own sound
and reputation, and they're
finding both fast.
Produced by Jim Sims & Warren Schatz. From fuzz acid & flowers:
A little known but significant singer/songwriter/producer/engineer on the New York '66-'71 scene. Born in Brooklyn on November 3rd, 1945, Schatz originally performed as Ritchie Dean and had a hit with Goodbye Girl. He then organized a succession of groups for live dates and recordings and formed The Pendants, The Petrified Forest, The Warmest Spring, The Shapes Of Things and The Whispers. At the same time he was beginning to handle recording sessions as an engineer (Unspoken Word) and producer (Yesterday's Children and Banchee). In the early '70's he began singing under his own name and toured in Japan.
His CBS album was recorded in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Schatz wrote all the material and produced it with sessionmen (Jerry Cole, Hugh McCracken, Al Gorgoni, Pretty Purdie). Marred by too many female background vocals, it's better avoided. Schatz then went to Finland to record his second album, which is much better, particularly the fantastic version of David Crosby's Long Time Gone with lots of electric guitars. Strangely, this record was also pressed in Poland!
