Nightwing is a British rock band, originally formed in 1978 as "Gordon and Friends" by bassist Gordon Rowley (formerly of Strife) and keyboardist Kenny Newton. The band's lineup changed fairly consistently since its inception and at one point included vocalist Max Bacon (pre-Bronz), who would go on to be in the supergroup GTR and Dave Evans (formerly of the band Days of Grace and not to be confused with the first AC/DC singer of the same name). Some of the band's longer-lasting members include founding members Rowley, Newton and guitarists Alec Johnson and Glynn Porrino and drummer Steve Bartley. Nightwing disbanded in 1987, with Rowley and long-time drummer Steve Bartley, moving on to a short-lived band called "Razorback" (not to be confused with Razorback) before reforming in the 1990s. Their most recent album, ''8472'', was released in 2008 by Timeline Records and as of this writing the band continues to tour. ==Formation, Something In The Air and Black Summer== Nightwing was formed when Gordon Rowley wanted to return to music, having left Strife due to heart attack. Gordon had done some session work between leaving Strife, also turning down a spot in Rainbow in favor of forming his own band.〔http://www.butterworth01.f2s.com/afterstrife.html〕 This led to the formation of Nightwing, with keyboard player Kenny Newton, guitarist Alec Johnson as the core early lineup. With a variety of session drummers, including Steve Bartley, joining Rowley, Newton and Johnson, ''Something in the Air'' was released in 1981, with "Barrel of Pain" by Graham Nash taken as a single release.〔http://www.discogs.com/Nightwing-Barrel-Of-Pain-Nightwing/release/6362564〕 For the tour and the following album, ''Black Summer'', Steve Bartley became the full-time drummer for the band, the group playing Redding Festival〔https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/42/Reading-81-poster.jpg〕 and supporting Gillan. In 1982, the lineup of Rowley, Newton, Johnson and Bartley recorded and released ''Black Summer''〔http://www.discogs.com/Nightwing-Black-Summer/release/2971836〕 which did particularly well in Eastern Europe, where the band would do an extensive tour.〔http://www.butterworth01.f2s.com/afterstrife.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nightwing (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
