Toe Fat were formed
in June 1969 by ex-Rebel Rousers
vocalist Cliff Bennett following the
dissolution of his Cliff Bennett
Band which had briefly included
ex-Gods guitarist Ken Hensley. With
his newly-grown beard and long hair,
Bennett together with Hensley formed
the heavy progressive outfit Toe Fat
with other ex-Gods members Lee
Kerslake (drums), and John Konas
(Bass).
Armed with a batch of Hensley-penned
songs the band secured an American
deal with Rare Earth Records, Tamla
Motown’s ‘progressive’ label, and
recorded their self-titled debut LP
(Rare Earth RS511) in 1970. In the
UK, the album was released by
Parlophone (PCS 7097) who also
released the single ‘Working
Nights’/'Bad Side Of The Moon’ (R
5829), the B-side being an early
Elton John composition.
However, despite two American tours,
one supporting Derek and The
Dominos, shortly after the LP’s
release both Hensley and Kerslake
left, Hensley going on to form Uriah
Heep and Kerslake joining the
National Head Band before himself
joining Uriah Heep.
Another ex-Gods member John
Glasscock had already by this time
replaced Konas (who now runs a music
shop in Ontario) and another ex-Gods
member Brian Glasscok was drafted in
to replace Kerslake (who ironically
had replaced him in The Gods!) and
guitarist Alan Kendall came in to
replace Hensley.
This revamped Toe Fat line up cut
“Toe Fat 2″ (Rare Earth RS 525/Regal
Zonophone SLRZ 1015) the LP being
produced by DJ John Peel (Toe Fat
having recorded BBC sessions for the
likes of Dave Cash, Mike Harding and
Terry Wogan!).
They also released the single ‘Brand
New Band’/'Can’t Live Without You’
(Chapter One CH 175) but following
another, more financially
successful, U.S. tour the band broke
up when their management and record
company said they could no longer
fund the group.
Cliff Bennett then formed Rebellion,
releasing one self-titled LP on CBS,
before joining Mick Green in
Shanghai in 1974 and then retiring
from the music industry before
returning for Sixties revival shows
with the Rebel Rousers.
John Glasscock joined Carmen in 1976
as well as working with the likes of
Maddy Prior and Richard Digence
whilst Brian Glasscock worked with
the Bee Gees (along with Kendall)
before becoming a founder member of
The Motels.
