THE BARRACUDAS CONNECTION! After making a third album, Endeavour to Persevere, the Barracudas disbanded at the end of '84.![Fortunate-Sons-kareeza-1.jpg]()
After The Barracudas disbanded in 1984, Robin Wills formed his own band with the Robinson bothers (located in Spain Lee Robinson was also in the A-10 & Sin City Six, he died in 1991 -RIP). In 1985 the band recorded their first album "Rising" as a trio. Then Chris Wilson coming back from Sweden, joined them in 1986 for a new album "Karezza" also on Bam-Caruso records. They disbanded in 1988 during an italian tour.
After that, in 1990 R. Wills (with J. Gluck) revived the 'Cudas & recorded 'Wait For Everything' on the canadian indie Shake records. In 1992, Chris Wilson recorded a solo album, 'Random Centuries', in Spain. It's a shame that in 2009, the both albums have never been reissued on CD! - from sonsofthedolls.blogspot.![Fortunate-Sons-kareeza-2.jpg]()
