Does anyone know if they still perform, or where they are?

According to Wikipedia, Ossiach is a municipality in the Feldkirchen in Carinthia, Austria. The Trio is the early 70's band and we never see them again, because the drummer, Stu Martin died in Paris, 1980. I dedicated some other videos to him.

I learned about this band about 22 years ago, before internet eas popular, adn way before youtube. I had a tape that was recorded from a friend's disc (the old ones). Now, everything seems accessible as long as you have internet conection. Sad about Stu, he is the best drummer ever.
