Archetype heavy rock
four-piece which featured the peculiar vocal
talents of Stevan Alcock, an "outrageous
tone-deaf drag act" who was unfairly
compared to Freddie Mercury - an outrageous pitch
-perfect drag act. Steve Taylor's only band, we
think. Quad played one live concert at the Crypt
Youth club in Wetherby in 1974 and were not asked
back. The set included rock standards "Smoke
on the Water" and "Alright Now"
though sometimes it was not obvious.
Rehearsals were held every
Tuesday night in a musty old room at the back of
the crypt
The Quad split later that year
when half the band merged with the two-man Scapegoat, leaving
Alcock to pursue a solo career and Taylor to
concentrate on painting and decorating.
