The Romans |
first
were Michael Uhlenkott, Juan Gomez, Pat Delaney and Keith Mitchell.
The Romans began as an instrumental punk-art-surf supergroup, relatively speaking, composed of members of the three most important bands of the "Pasadena" scene of the late '70s and early '80s. Michael and Keith came from Monitor, Juan from Human Hands and Pat from Bpeople. They made their recorded debut as one of four groups sharing an album called Color the Reality (Monsterface Records, 1982), and then with the addition of Mikey made You Only Live Once (Solid Eye, 1983), produced by Paul B. Cutler. The German edition (No Man's Land, 1984) adds two tracks recorded with Robert that point the way to the psychedelic country-rock of The Last Days at the Ranch (Down There/Restless, 1986), produced by Steve Wynn .

Robert plays here and there. Check here or here for other stuff. Chris is Chris Cacavas . Pat was missing but now is less missing.
