OOH LAS VEGAS (Gram Parsons) Firefall was a supergroup formed in Colorado in 1974 when Rick Roberts (G&Vo) of the Flying Burrito Brothers and Jock Bartley (G&Vo), who had been active in the Gram Parsons Band and Zephyr, hit it off and joined forces with Michael Clarke (Dr) of The Byrds and Mark Andes (B) of Spirit. Later, David Mews (Key) joined, and they debuted in 1976 with their album "Firefall." They toured with Leon Russell, the Doobie Brothers, The Band, and others, and their song "You Are the Woman" became a top 10 hit. After that, they consistently released albums and had hits, such as "Luna Sea" in 1977 and "Elan" in 1978, but internal conflicts and health problems led to Rick and other members leaving the band. They continued to be active under Jock's leadership, with repeated member changes, but they went far from releasing new music. They continued to perform live on a small scale, and in 1994 they released "Messenger" after a long hiatus, which marked the resumption of their live activities. In the 2010s, they began to tour in earnest. In 2020, they released "Comet," their first original album in 25 years.
