LACEWING (Kent, OH)

"Lacewing" 1970 (Mainstream s-6132)

One of Mainstream's later-day releases, still mainly in the typical westcoast Airplane/Mamas & Papas/Big Brother bag but with hints of 70s things to come. Starts off strongly and maintains a reasonably good level, with fuzz leads and minor prog ambitions on side 2, while side 1 has more of a CA'68 sound. Use of piano and heavy drum licks betray a "Volunteers" influence, while the atmospheric instrumental passage during "The Storm" may be the most original thing on board. About 2/3rds is excellent femme-vox hippie-rock, with impact lessened by a couple of uninspired tracks and a drum solo at the close. [PL]

In terms of collectability, this is a VERY RARE Mainstream album, and the opening song ?Paradox? is possibly the best song by any band on the label. It?s just a gorgeous folk-rock creation with sparkling male/female harmonies and a bright, summery feel to it. The rest of the album can?t possibly reach that standard, but other than a typically dull drum solo (at the very end?you can just turn off the record early), this is a nice album, and some surprisingly heavy bits enter into the mix. The female singer is very appealing. [AM]

In an earlier incarnation this band was known as the Measles and featured Joe Walsh on guitar. The band was briefly called Lacewing around the time of the Mainstream album, which (like other OH bands on Mainstream such as Freeport and December's Children) was recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami. Vocalist Mary Sterpka was later drafted by Walsh to sing back-up vocals on the James Gang hit "Midnight Man". Info courtesy of George Gell.
