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.
