"Dust" was an American
hard rock band active in the early 1970s.
Dust was formed in the late 1960s , in New York
by Richie Wise (Electric and acustic guitars and vocals), Kenny
Aaronson
(Bass , slide and pedal steel guitars) and Marc Bell (Drums
and percussion) . Additionally, Kenny Kerner wrote the group's lyrics,
and acted as their producer and manager. Their debut album was released
on Kama Sutra Records in 1971, and was followed by a sophomore release
on the same label the following year. While the group only released
these two albums, they later became of historical interest to
collectors interested in early American hard rock.
The
group's members all went on to other projects. Aaronson became a member
of Stories in 1973 and worked as a session musician into the 1980s.
Wise and Kerner went into production, with Kiss among others. Bell
worked with Richard Hell and The Ramones later in the 1970s.

This was probably my favourite band for a long time. I was
12 years old in my first year in high school, in 1989. I had started
listening to pirate radio at the age of 10  and when I
was 12 I began buying music magazines and vinyls, after my uncle had
given me his old worn-out turntable. One of the magazines I used to buy
was "Metal Hammer & Heavy Metal". I wasn't really into heavy
metal music (never been) but I bought the particular magazine every
month because it contained two column pages named "Forgotten Jewels"
and "Electricore" respectively. Those were the only articles I would
read. Once, there was an article on Dust on the Electricore page. The
person who wrote it (it was either Demetrios Stergiou or Popi Stefa, I
don't really recall the name of the reviewer now - it's been 17 years
you know!), had done something really amazing: he/she didn't write a
common review but an almost literary, introspective text in which
he/she quoted large parts of the lyrics of both Dust albums. I was so
immersed that I decided to locate the albums at any cost. Fortunately,
a guy at a local record shop happened to be a record collector and he
made a tape for me with both the albums (he was actually surprised to
find out that a high school boy knew Dust!!!). Once I put the tape in
the cassette player, I never stopped listening to it all day. Years
after, in 1995, I bought both vinyls at the Monastiraki flea market in
Athens, to fulfill my aspiration.
Dust were a New York band, formed in 1971. They consisted of Kenny
Aaronson: bass, slide and pedal steel guitars, Marc Bell: drums and
percussion and Richie
Marc Bell
aka: Marky Ramone Wise:
electric and acoustic guitars, lead and background vocals.
Most songs
were penned by Richie Wise and Kenny Kerner, the production manager who
went on later producing for Kiss! Dust were indeed fantastic musicians
and it is really a treat to listen to a trio playing unbelievable hard
rock infected with psychedelic, heavy and even country elements. The
songs are all great (no exception, believe me) and the lyrics are very
good. Apart from Richie Wise, bassist Kenny Aaronson (later known as
member of the supergroup HSAS) is one of the fastest bassists I've
known and he is also adept at slide guitars and dobro. Drummer Marc
Bell is even faster and some of you will be surprised to learn that,
after Dust disbanded, he went on drumming with the Ramones, changing
his name to Marky Ramone!

Second Album
Hard Attack is Dust's second and last album, released in 1972.
Unfortunately, the band never had any commercial success and they were
forced to split after the release of Hard Attack. Shame, because we are
talking about a great band...
This
band means a lot to me, guys. Please give them the attention they
deserve, they're really worth it.~ Nada ~
