I had no idea that this great band had done gigs recently. Any Argent fans here?
Does anyone else think that Russ Ballard of 2012 looked a bit like Joe Walsh in the 90's? 8-)

I've never heard of these guys, but that just shows how 'out of the loop' I am with today's music. And I agree, chaim, I definitely see a resemblance between Russ and 90's Joe.

I was a big fan in the early 70's - saw them a few times in concert......didn't realise they were still going though!

Rod Argent was in The Zombies before he formed Argent. A lot of people have recorded Russ Ballard's songs. The Rainbow songs "I surrender" and "Since you been one" were written by him.

Seems that they reunited only for a handful of gigs.

This is so weird, a day or so ago, I heard a snippet of "Hold your Head Up", on TV and since then I can't get the song out of my head. :smile:

I never paid attention to who does that song! Love it!

Well thanks for setting me straight everyone. I remember The Zombies and a couple of their songs from the 60's, but I didn't follow them close enough to know who the band members were. I have never even heard of Argent, but I do remember the song "Hold Your Head Up". I love it when I learn something new here. :thumbsup:
