Ace Kefford Stand
Biography
Ace Kefford was a secondary member of the first lineup of the Move, playing bass and singing backup vocals (and one lead vocal, on Yellow Rainbow) with them through 1968. He left the band sometime that year, and shortly afterward became frontman for the short-lived Ace Kefford Stand, who, he has recalled, were mostly a covers band. They did do one single, For Your Love b/w Gravy Booby Jam, for Atlantic in 1969. The A-side was a drawn-out, heavy, and fairly tedious cover of the Yardbirds classic; the flip, thrown together by the band the night before the session, was a forgettable psychedelic-progressive rock crossover effort with freaky guitar. The other members of the Ace Kefford Stand, incidentally, had been previously known as Young Blood, and did four singles for Pye; the Ace Kefford Stand's most illustrious member was drummer Cozy Powell. After the single, Dave McTavish of Tintern Abbey joined and the band changed their name to Big Bertha, who did one single. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
