THIS IS SOME INFO ON THE GROUP Formation[edit]
Kahvas Jute was formed in Sydney in June 1970 as a progressive rock band with Bob Daisley on bass guitar (ex-Dennis Williams and the Delawares, Gino Affair, Throb, Barrington Davis and the Power Pact, Mecca), Dannie Davidson on drums (ex-Strangers, Sunsets, Tamam Shud), Tim Gaze on lead guitar and vocals (ex-Stonehenge, Tamam Shud) and Dennis Wilson on lead guitar and vocals (ex-Riddles, Kevin Bible and the Book, Barrington Davis and the Power Pact, Mecca).[1][2] Wilson was the guitarist on Kevin Bible and the Book's single, "Rockin' Pneumonia", which was released in August 1966.[1] Wilson played with Daisley in Barrington Davis and the Power Pact,[1] which was renamed as Mecca in 1968.[2] In 1969, Barrington Davis left to return to England and Mecca continued as a trio. Davidson's earlier band, Strangers (aka Four Strangers) had formed in Newcastle in 1964.[3] By 1965, after releasing two singles, they became The Sunsets, a surf rock group and issued five further singles.[4] They relocated to Sydney and were renamed as Tamam Shud in 1968, Gaze joined in 1969.[5] Mecca disbanded in mid-1970 and Daisley and Wilson approached Davidson and Gaze to form a new band, Kahvas Jute.
Wide Open[edit]
Kahvas Jute developed a reputation for their live performances and signed with Festival Records' subsidiary label, Infinity Records.[1] They issued their debut album, Wide Open in January 1971.[1] It was recorded at Festival Studios in Sydney and produced by Pat Aulton.[2] By the time that the album appeared, Gaze had already returned to Tamam Shud and Kahvas Jute continued as a trio.[1] In June, Davidson and Wilson travelled to the United Kingdom and temporarily used Mick Smith and Scott Maxey on bass guitar. Daisley arrived in London in July but Kahvas Jute didn't reform.[1][2] Daisley remained in the UK and became a member of several bands including: Chicken Shack, Mungo Jerry, Widowmaker, Rainbow, The Blizzard of Ozz, The Ozzy Osbourne Band, Uriah Heep and The Gary Moore Band, among others.[1][2]
