Formerly known as Fat Daddy who were signed to the Bootleg label and released two singles in 1976. The first single ''Roll Daddy Roll'' was a no-nonsense-straight-ahead boogie piece followed by the rockin' ''Fat Funky Rock n Roll''. The band later merged with Ken Murdoch (ex-Taste) and became Texas. Texas was pretty big on the live scene from 1976-79 and released a few singles and an album in a rockin’ bluesy ZZ Top style. They also appeared on Countdown.
