about

Silverhead was at the forefront of glam music, the pioneers of this new form of rock. They made their way into history with two sensational albums—the first titled simply Silverhead, and the second named 16 and Savaged—and ended up having a nice little run. The band was:

Michael Des Barres – vocals
Nigel Harrison – bass
Rod Davies – guitar, vocals, percussion
Pete Thompson – drums, keyboards
Robbie Blunt – guitar, vocals

Stevie Forest appeared on the group’s first, self-titled album, but had been replaced by Blunt by the time of the recording of 16 and Savaged.

After the breakup of Silverhead, Des Barres moved on to the bands Detective and Power Station. He then became a full-time actor, starring in Pink Cadillac with Clint Eastwood, and appearing in the recurring role of Murdoc on the original MacGyver television series.

Harrison caught the acting bug as well while continuing his career as one of the greatest bass guitar players in rock ’n’ roll history, including a stint as a member of what may have been the most historically important female-fronted band of the twentieth century, Blondie.
Thompson kept pace with his former bandmates, playing with Robert Plant and Robin Trower before becoming a dynamic producer. He still performs live as of this writing.

Blunt found his groove after Silverhead too. He collaborated with Plant also, backing him on guitar, and worked as a session player on recordings by Julian Lennon, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

PIG Records now presents a live performance by Silverhead, remastered to perfection by the legendary producer Jack Endino,
recorded by the BBC in 1973 at the Paris Theatre. The former cinema, located at 12 Lower Regent Street in London, had been converted by the BBC into a studio for radio broadcasts with live audiences.

“I distinctly remember this night. It is possible for any band of any age and any status to be the greatest rock ’n’ roll band in the world on any given night. That night we were the greatest rock ’n’ roll band in the world.” – Michael Des Barres

“Certainly, the best time of my rock ’n’ roll life ... Silverhead, a truly great rock and soul band ... fresh out of the studio after recording our second album, the band was pumped up and ready to go!” – Nigel Harrison
