May 14th, 2010 - Dave Tice

The demise of Buffalo in 1977 saw Dave heading for London at the invitation of seminal English R&B punk band The Count Bishops who were looking for the front man to complete the line-up on their first album. This partnership spawned a total of three albums and a number of singles and E.Ps one of the singles “I Want Candy” making the top 40 in England just before the tragic death of guitarist Zenon DeFleur prematurely halted what had been a steady climb . The legacy of those years can still be found on compilations and best of collections available throughout Europe and the world on Ace records. The Bishops toured extensively in the U.K. and Europe sharing bills with Doctor Feelgood John Cale “The Clash Motorhead The Stranglers Bo Diddley and many more too numerous to mention. Daves name also appears as co-writer on two Doctor Feelgood songs.
