Tonto and the Renegades
Tonto and the Renegades( also known as Tonto& the Renegades) were an American garage rock band from Grand Ledge, Michigan who were active between 1964 and 1969.
They were formed by students from Grand Ledge High School and their name derived from the nickname of their bass player, Gary Richey, who because of his Native American heritage was referred to as" Tonto" by his friends at school.
The group had several hits in the Southern Michigan region in 1966 and 1967.
By the late 1960s group was being courted by major record labels, when the prospect of the Vietnam War draft caused two members to leave the band, resulting in the group's breakup.
The intervening years have witnessed a revival of interest in the band's music amongst garage rock enthusiasts.
Tonto and the Renegades are now best known for their song" Little Boy Blue", which is today regarded as a garage rock classic.
In 2012 Tonto and The Renegades were inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends online Hall of Fame.
Second Hand Rose (band)
Second Hand Rose is a Chinese rock band from Beijing, China.
The band is known for its bold combination of traditional Chinese instruments with solid rock& roll fundamentals.
The influence of traditional Chinese folk music can be clearly felt in the singing of leadsinger Liang Long and the usage of traditional Chinese instruments in both their recordings and live performances.
Their debut album, the self- titled" Second Hand Rose Band", was released in 2004 to critical acclaim in China's bigger cities.
The album also received rave reviews on specialist music websites in the U.S.
The group was formed in August 2000.
Before the release of their second album the band were known as" Second Hand Rose" Band, but the word" band" was dropped with the release of their second album and they are now merely known as" Second Hand Rose".
Over the years, the line- up of the band has changed frequently.
Lead singer Liang Long and Chinese traditional instrument player Wu Zekun are the only two band members who are with the band since it was formed.
Other band members seem to come and go, although guitar player Yao Lan has been with the band for several years by now.
Liang long has all the characteristics of a northeast Chinese man.
He is tall, broad and straightforward.
The only difference is that he has the habit of dressing up like a woman on stage.
Nowadays he seemed to have dropped this way of dressing, and often wears more conventional clothes during performances.
The fact that he shaved off his long hair also takes away most of his former drag- act.
Nonetheless, his long hails from the Heilongjiang province in northeast China, his stage antics and flamboyant look have earned the band controversy in their native China.
In 2002, Second Hand Rose became the only foreign band to be invited to play at the Swiss Snow Mountain Music Festival, an annual event attracting some of Switzerland's established musical names.
They were also one of the few Chinese rock bands invited to perform in Shanghai at the 2003 China- Japan Pop Music Exchange Concerts, an event organized by Japan's public broadcaster NHK.
When the Amsterdam China Festival was held in the Netherlands in 2004, Second Hand Rose was also one of the bands invited.
The band( Liang Long with a new line- up) released their second album in late 2006.
The album, titled" Yu Le Jiang Hu"( 娱乐江湖), contains ten new studio recordings that have been well received by the specialist and online press in Mainland China.
The video clip to the first single, 狼心狗肺, was also included on the release.
The band is often performing in Beijing, but tours to other Chinese cities to perform as well.
Although they are one of China's most popular rock bands, they remain an alternative act with a non-mainstream following.

Renegades (band)
Renegades were a British rock band which started out as a side- project from two members of the band Feeder, featuring guitarist Grant Nicholas and bassist Taka Hirose, before becoming a pseudonym name for Feeder themselves.
Nicholas formed Renegades alongside Hirose with Karl Brazil from Ben's Brother, who completed the group and a four- track EP was then recorded.
Soon later, Renegades became an alternative name for Feeder at various concerts where they would play an entire show pretending not to be Feeder, but a different band with the same members.
If Feeder songs released before the" Renegades" album were to be played, the band would announce that they're covering Feeder songs.
Grant Nicholas once introduced" Tangerine" as" A cover of a song from a band we know".
The idea was created when Feeder parted company with drummer Mark Richardson who returned to his previous band Skunk Anansie.
Brazil was initially contracted with the band to assist them on their June dates playing various university events, before then playing the UK leg of the Sonisphere Festival.
He was however recording with the band alongside Mexicolas drummer Tim Trotter, before the idea came about to use a selection of the tracks for the' Renegades' project.
The tracks originally intended for the side- project were soon used for the seventh Feeder album" Renegades".
The side- project was as a result used as a method to promote the" Renegades" album at live shows where they would mainly play the new songs, thus avoiding having to play any of their hits if they played as Feeder.
On the first of January 2010, a four- day countdown timer was added to the band's official website.
As the countdown was completed on 6 January 2010, the title- track for the EP," Renegades" was released as a free download as well as a package containing the limited edition EP, Renegades shirt, badge set and an e-ticket for one of the six shows available.
The" Renegades EP" was the first release on the band's own record label, before being followed- up by a second EP.
Feeder also used the Renegades name for their Sonisphere 2010 appearance, which was their last UK show using this name and also their tour of Japan in July of the same year.
The track" Renegades" was re-released, but this time as a Feeder single instead of Renegades and was also on vinyl and download only.
The Sunrays
The Sunrays( previously known as The Renegades, The Renegade 5, Larry Tremaine& The Renegades, The Rangers and The Dirt Riders) were an American band from Pacific Palisades, California.
