The group, which draws from influences like Heart and Bon Jovi, has its roots in the early '80s, when Yuhas and King, both of whom are in their early 20s, first began collaborating.

The result, said Yuhas, is a sound surprisingly full for a trio. "Everybody is really impressed with our sound," he claimed. "It's a really big sound, even live.

It surprises people to hear it coming from only three pieces." Seven up Forget the Who, Doobie Brothers, Jefferson Airplane and all the other veteran acts hitting the road this summer. The year's most outrageous old-timers tour will be, without a doubt, the one by the act known as Seven Guys Who Like to Rock Roll. According to our spies, the Seven Guys are: Ringo Starr (drums); Jack Bruce (bass); Billy Preston (keyboards); Clarence Clemmons (saxophone) and guitarists Stephen Stills, Dave Mason and Joe Walsh.
