The Mankey brothers went on to do other things, not least one of them joining Concrete Blonde. Their brand of sound quickley developed a cult following especially in the UK, which prompted the Mael brothers crossing the Atlantic and setting up base there. It was at this time Todd Rundgren honed in on them and convinced them to change their name to the SPARKS and in 1971, under a new label, their self titled debut was released. Harley Feinstein completed the quintet on drums. L.A brothers Ron (keyboards) and Russell (vocals) Mael formed their first band Halfnelson in 1970 along with the other brothers, Earle Mankey (guitar) and Jim Mankey (bass). Formed in 1972 in Los Angeles, USA - Still active as of 2017
