Koel Family/Gargoyles - 1986-1992

The Koel Family were a 60s style garage band from San Francisco who recorded two demo tapes in the mid-1980s. Metal Mike from Angry Samoans was somehow associated with this band but I'm not sure if he plays on these tapes. In 1989 they changed their name to The Gargoyles and over 6-7 years released two CDs and several records. Their first CD was produced by another former member of Angry Samoans, Jeff Dahl. In 1991 several members of the band left and played for a while on Metal Mike's early 1990s records which are similar in style to the Koel Family. Sound quality is very good on everything.
