British Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Band formed In The Mid 70's cited as forerunners in the developing New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement of the late 70's and early 1980's. Country of origin: United Kingdom Location: Birmingham, West Midlands, England Status: Active Formed in: 1977 Genre: NWOBHM Lyrical themes: Satan, Hell, Rock n Roll Current label: Skol Records Years active: 1974-1977 (as Bandy Legs), 1977-1983, 2011-present Quartz initially performed in the midlands cabaret clubs as Bandy Legs, the moniker under which their 7" single "Ride Ride" / "Don't Play Games" was released in 1974. They signed to Jet Records in 1976, changing their name to Quartz in time for their debut album (which was produced by Tony Iommi and Chris Tsangarides). They later signed with MCA Records, but were dropped when the album did not sell as much as the label expected. Two different labels and some line-up changes later, the band split-up in 1983. Keyboard player Geoff Nichols played with Black Sabbath for 23 years. Reformed to play a charity gig at The Asylum in Birmingham in December 2011 with four of the original members and David Garner on vocals (Taffy Taylor couldn't and can't perform due to health reasons). They also played the Keep It True and Muskelrock festivals in 2013. In their formative years, the musicians in Quartz performed as the backing band of soul singer Jimmy Helms for about a year. Jimmy had a hit single, "Gonna Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse", in 1973. Hopkins and bassist Arnold had previously played together in Copperfield. Hopkins also played in The Idle Race with Jeff Lynne (later in The Move, E.L.O., etc.) in the early 1970s. The band have not received any royalties for the reissues of their albums in the '90s and '00s, even when the publishers have been paid.
