Notes:
– Formed around 1980 under the name ‘Tempest Ride’ and their first gigs quickly gained them a strong local following.
– In 1981 drummer Lee Burrows roadies for the UK tour of Iron Maiden and Praying Mantis
– During their first era, Lyadrive are establishing some good connections within the music industry and several recording and touring possibilities emerged. However, due to some really bad timing line-up changes and general bad luck they called it quits in 1985
– Reformed during the summer of 1996 with only Nick John (v,k) and Lee Burrows (d) from the original line-up.
– You can get directly from the band copies of video-recordings from 1983/4
