NUCLEUS

In the mid 1960's, the "Lords of London" released a string of pop singles, topping the top 40 charts in 1967 with "Cornflakes & Ice Cream". Not satisfied with this bubble-gum image, the band longed to be more creative musically. When Bob Horne joined the group, the Nucleus evolution was well underway.

What emerged was an innovative, free-form blend of R&B & Jazz, a syncopated psychedelia. The band was a regular attraction at Yorkville's "Elpatio" coffee house. In 1968, Nucleus recorded their first & only album at A&R studios in New York City. After it's release, a tour quickly followed along with numerous television appearances in Canada and the USA. They performed to packed houses at the Electric Circus in Toronto & New York, and became a hit with the college crowd. Inevitably, Nucleus succumbed to internal & musical feuds and disbanded on the eve of a Californian tour, that would have included their first headline gig at the Whiskey a Go-Go.
