The year was 1976, four young men were inspired by such bands as the Beatles, The Eagles, Foreigner & the Monkees. Mark Daniel and Steve Casteel decided to start a band. Steve played lead and rhythm guitar and Mark played rhythm and bass. They recruited Steve's brother Ron to play drums and sought out a full-time bass player. A school friend named Robert Shivley rose to the top of the list as the best choice for bassist. They practiced every chance they could and in the oddest places such as the back of a truck. Steve and Robert were very interested in drag racing and snagged a gig playing at the Las Vegas Speedway and history was made March 12th 1976. They were a huge hit and rocked the crowd in the stands as they yelled for more. Just like in the movies, a record producer was in the stands that day and promptly signed the Wolf Gang to a three record contract. The boys new they had hit on something and put 12 of their best songs on their first album "On The Rocks".
