Now that that backlog entry is done (it had to be the first) we can get this show on the road.
Wizzard is a great band. They really should be more famous. It all started when Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne were both in the band that would become ELO (If you don't recognize the name ELO look up some of their songs, I can almost guarantee you've heard "Evil Woman" and/or "Turn to Stone"). ELO is formed and start doing their classical/Beatles/prog rock thing but Jeff Lynne ends up putting himself totally in charge of everything and makes it the band it is today. Roy, undestandably, gets annoyed at this and leaves and takes half the band with him. Add in some saxophone, an insane visual style, and the Wall of Sound and you have Wizzard.
