Killerwatt were from the San Francisco area, I think this may have been their only single. It was produced by Tubes founder, Bill Spooner, On Our way back home is Powerpop, while Main Idol has a harder edge to it. After Killerwatt, Scotland born lead vocalist Ken Cameron, played around LA in various bands, and eventually became the house sound engineer at Madame Wongs in Chinatown until it burned down, he now owns a Guitar and Ukuleles store in Hilo, Hawaii . Bass Player Terry Nails would later go on to bands such as: The Steve Jones Band, Ozzy Osbourne, Bone Angels, and Hard Luck. Keyboard player, Jesse Bradman went on to play with: Eddie Money, Aldo Nova, Keel, and Night Ranger. Drummer, Paul Zahl, went on to The Yanks, and The Flamin' Groovies. I couldn't find anything on Guitarist George Falbo, Here's Ken Camerons MYSPACE PAGE, it has some info, as well as a link to his store. As usual any additional info or corrections are welcome..

Thanks much for this. I thought I knew most of the Bay Area 77-81 bands but this one escaped.
Before The Yanks, Paul Zahl was drummer for the cool SVT with Jack Cassidy (Jefferson Airplane & said Yanks). Their local hit was "Heart of Stone" - well worth hearing if you haven't. On YouTube.
Cheers!
Guitarist George Falbo went on to promote thoroughbred race horses, have him contact me, Danny Arthur on FB.
8I have lost touch with George Falbo after he told me he was moving to Florida with his mother. Please have him contact me on FB, also. Name: Lucinda Ouart (that's an "Oh", not "Quart" with a "q"-common mistake)I remember seeing you in George's and yours apartment in Hollywood, CA
