Profile:
Classic rock band from Winnipeg, Canada, formed in 1972 by ex-Guess Who guitarist Randy Bachman and his younger brother Rob Bachman on drums. First they were called Brave Belt. They changed their name when vocalist Fred Turner joined. Tim Bachman (also a brother) joined on guitar. They had some succes in the USA with their debut album. Tim Bachman left in 1974 and Blair Thornton replaced him. Than the great American as well as European succes started and several albums and singles were released. In 1977 Randy Bachman left the band and went solo. Jim Clench took Randy's position. Then they shortened their name to BTO and released two albums under this name. Randy Murray replaced Jim Clench later. Now they still touring the world with their 70ties rock.
