Carlos Cavazo, Tony Cavazo and Stephen Quadros Planning Reunion
After years of playing in other musical projects and groups, Carlos Cavazo, Tony Cavazo and Stephen Quadros are planning on taking up where they left off musically when they were last together in Snow over 20 years ago.
"We're not sure if we will go under the name Snow or use a new name, but we are all excited about playing together again. The magic has never left..." states Snow drummer Stephen Quadros.
A DVD release of a rare, high quality concert of the band (Snow) in it's heyday is planned along with at least one new CD with tons of new material.
Some Band History:
Based out of Arcadia, CA, "SNOW" was a heavy metal/hard rock foursome who stirred things up on the Los Angeles music scene from 1978-1981.
Comprised of Carlos Cavazo on guitar, Tony Cavazo on bass, Doug Ellison on lead vocals and Stephen Quadros on drums, Snow performed regularly at The Whiskey, The Starwood and The Troubadour, along with headline shows at The Santa Monica Civic and The Pasadena Civic.
The group released a self-titled 5-song EP in 1980 that included popular Snow songs "Crack The Whip" and "No Way To Treat A Lady". Snow's music received radio airplay on KROQ and KLOS. The original Snow EP has become somewhat of a collectors item.
-Carlos Cavazo enjoyed platinum record selling success with "Quiet Riot" in the mid 1980s and now performs with "The Hollywood All Stars" and "Three Legged Dog."
-Tony Cavazo co-wrote the top 10 single "Bang Your Head" ("Quiet Riot"), recorded and toured with "Hurricane" and currently plays in "The Sacred Cowboys" and "MLC."
-Stephen Quadros has become internationally known as a television commentator in the mixed martial arts world for his work with Pride Fighting Championships, Cage Rage and the International Fight League, among others. Quadros currently performs and records with "Whipped Cream" as well as being a band member, along with Tony Cavazo, in "The Sacred Cowboys" and" MLC."

Collaberation via the World Wide Web
I recently had a conversation with a songwriter/guitarist named Greg from Pittsburg Pa. who told me he was collaberating on a CD with a bass player and keyboardist from Cherry Hill, NJ.
Isn't that a rather long and time consuming commute for you guys, I asked. He laughed and said, isn't technology great, we are using video conferencing .
Altho I recently mention this type of modern tech in a previous post, I was amazed at how quickly it was becoming popular among all types of people. Musicians have already found video conferencing to be an extremely valuable tool for writing and connecting with other musicians.
I asked Greg how they had originally met and decided to do this over the internet, and he said that he had met these guys at a club in Philadelphia while helping some home town friends who were going there to do a gig, and that these 2 other fellows were out looking around the club scene that night, searching for a guitar player for a new project.
The three guys apparantly got to talking and found they had a ton of musical influences and skills in common, as well as the extra benefit of Greg being a songwriter also. The problem was that altho Greg said he would definately consider moving to Philly, that was not an option for quite a while. So the keyboardist said no problem, I already have the answer, video conferencing.
The keyboardist was also an IT tech major, and already had this great new gadgetry on his pc. So needless to say,Greg is now happily video conferencing away with the others, and says it is the wildest and best pc "toy" he has tried in years, and that he wished video conferencing had been around a long time ago.
Well Greg, we can't change the past, but we can sure embrace the future. I understand they will be recording thier first demo of all this new material in a Cherry Hill recording studio, so hopefully he will keep me posted on thier progress. Who knows, this might be the first album written while the players were miles away from one another. Good luck Guys!
