 Ian Gillan Band biography
After leaving Deep Purple in 1973, singer IAN GILLAN engaged in a number of unsuccessful business ventures, such as a motorbike manufacturing company and a hotel. As a consequence, in 1975 he decided to resume his musical career, putting together a new band. To this purpose he recruited a number of seasoned British and American musicians, including former QUATERMASS bassist and vocalist John Gustafson, and former ELF drummer Mark Nauseef. Initially called Shand Grenade, the band soon changed its name to IAN GILLAN BAND.

The IGB's first album, called "Child in Time" after the Deep Purple classic, and produced by former DP bassist and Gillan's longtime friend, Roger Glover, was released in 1976. In the same year, original keyboardist Mike Moran was replaced first by Mickey Lee Soule (ex-ELF and RAINBOW), then by Colin Towns, who played on the band's next album, 1977's "Clear Air Turbulence". This album saw the IGB take a definite jazz-rock/fusion direction, which unfortunately ended up alienating most of the fans of Gillan's hard rock past. 

The band had some success in Japan, but failed to gain anything more than a cult following in Europe or North America. Their next album, "Scarabus" (1977), released at the height of the punk rock phenomenon, was a flop in spite of its rockier sound; that caused their label, Island Records, to drop the band. When the IGB split the following year, the singer retained keyboardist Colin Towns and formed a new band, called simply GILLAN, which saw him return to a more distinctly hard rock sound. A live album, recorded at Tokyo's prestigious Budokan Hall, was released posthumously in 1978.
