J.J. Lancaster

Real Name Sjon Ueckert From his personal website discussing recording his sole single: I lived on the island of Manhattan for about two years from 1967 to 1969. I played with the "Pleasant Street Blues Band" and recorded my first record for Date Records (they also had "Peaches and Herb"), a part of Columbia records. My producer was Chuck Sagel, who used to produce Frank Sinatra. My band opened the Electric Circus (Andy Warhol's) club on St. Mark's Place in the Village. We left there to play at Trudy Heller's Uptown Cabaret and Nico and the Velvet Underground took our place at Warhol's club. I lived in the Albert Hotel, where most of the working musicians in Manhattan lived (they had basement rehearsal rooms). New York, at that time, was a great place to be. I returned a number of years later and found the place very uptight and angry. I need to go back and see if that has changed again.
