Glen was asked by Dennis Dunaway and fellow trackman Vince Furnier to join them to form a “band” to perform at the Lettermen Talent Show, where they would lip-synch Beatle tunes. This would lead to the three of them (along with John Tatum and John Speer) forming an actual band called the Earwigs.

**********

1964
Spring 1964. Lettermen Talent Show, Cortez High School, Phoenix, AZ. “Earwigs to Eternity”.

68 lettermen1 - CopyAt this first show, the Earwigs featured Vince, Glen, Dennis and John Tatum along with a ‘drummer’, Phil Wheeler.   Glen and John played their guitars, Dennis and Vince, and Phil (who had some lessons) played his one drum. By all accounts they were awful…basically lip-synching to Beatle tunes. After the show, Phil left, to be replaced by John Speer.
Various band names were considered including “Husky Babies Sandwich” and “Joe Banana and The Bunch (The band with a-peal)”
(John Tatum interview) “Yes, I was absolutely with them from day one   Buxton and I had been jamming in his garage for a while, and we were both plugged in to his amplifier. He actually originally spoke to Vince and Dennis about getting together for the talent show (Letterman’s Club). The exact lineup for the talent show included another drummer (Phil something?? ) he was a great drummer, but opted to not continue with the group, then we got Speer.

October 16, 1964– Cortez High Paper states that the Earwigs were playing shows during lunch hours at school. Paper also says the band will be playing at the upcoming  “Pit and The Pendulum” dance on October 23rd. [see article below] Glen Burton?????

I guess the Dunes Lounge had more to offer to their patrons in early 1965 than a one night performance from a local Cortez High band (The Earwigs). I found this article in the Arizona Republic from January, 1965 about some gambling on pinball machines????

The Earwigs also get to perform on the TV show “It’s Wallace” (which was latter called Wallace and Ladmo). Also on the show was Wayne Newton. They will play the show again – as The Spiders.
“I remember Glen and the band all sitting around and talking about themselves, and how they happened upon the name “The Earwigs”…which cracked up “Wallace”.Vince did most of the talking and explained to the TV audience “EXACTLY” what a earwig was and looked like etc…to more chuckles “
(Rob, co-founder of the Wallace and Ladmo club, May 2002)

“They had a gig playing for four hours in a pizza parlor for all the pizza they could eat, only to end up with one small pizza to share.”

In June of 1965, Glen swapped his Chet Atkins ES (Country Gentleman) for a Gretsch Tennessean…a less bulky model. Below is the sales slip from Arizona Music Center for the sale. Glen would use this guitar, going forth, as part of “The Spiders”.

Around September ’65 they changed their name to ‘The Spiders’ – Vince Furnier, Glen Buxton, Dennis Dunaway, John Speer, John Tatum

September 1965. “We had auditioned for Jack Curtis (Phoenix promoter) and we thought he didn’t like us after many weeks went by, but later I went back to the teen club and spoke to him and he said he was looking everywhere for us, and that he wanted to hire us. He was the person that changed the name to “The Spiders”, and he set up the first concerts. We even played the first concert at the opening of the Coliseum in Phoenix. I was actually sharing the same guitar amp with Glen Buxton and Jack bought me my first guitar amp and my first car, a 56 Chevy.”

Jack Curtis says he recommended the name change to the band – Spiders being more commercial; (Jack Curtis below)

September, 1965: VIP Club, 7th Street, Phoenix, AZ – Jack Curtis owned the VIP. He paid the band about $500 a weekend. The Spiders use to perform behind (or in front of) a spiders’ web. The VIP club, which was part of the Phoenix Jaycees Bldg, was located on 7th Street near Indian School Road. (The building was torn down early in 2016.)

December 17, 1965 – Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Phoenix, Az. Spiders open for The Byrds. The Spiders would also open for the Byrds at the VIP and at a show in Tucson at the Sunst Bowlerama.  Jack Curtis probably played a part in getting these gigs.

(John Tatum, January 2008) “I later quit the band to join with Bill Spooner who later founded the “Tubes”, and Michael Bruce was the rhythm guitar player for Bill. Bill replaced Michael Bruce with me, and Michael then joined the “Spiders” who later became ‘Alice Cooper’.”

The rough days – only one groupie

(Michael Bruce, 2011)“”John Tatum was out, and these friends of mine, Joel and Mark Rumerfield said, “Hey, they’re auditioning guitar players why don’t you go down?” So, I drove down there, and I had this Willies jeep, got up there and did everything like The Yardbirds’ rave ups and all that stuff. I was a good rhythm guitar player but, I had this VAN that I could carry gear in, and guess what? I was in the band but they never really said, “You’re in the band,” they just said, “We’ve got a gig, come get the gear.” So, that’s how it started.””

A newspaper ballot to select the most popular band in the Valley. (Notice the Trolls – an MB band).

Mid 1966: Spiders are still playing covers. Some of the songs played in the early years included ‘Lil’ Red Rooster’ ( Glen plays slide guitar), ‘Love that Dirty Water’, ‘ Hey Mona!’, ‘ Midnight Hour’, ‘Louie Louie’, ‘Route 66’, ‘Stormy Monday’, ’19th Nervous Breakdown’, ‘I’m a Man’, ‘Smokestack Lightning’, ‘As Tears Go By’, ‘I’m Leaving’ and ‘Love Potion Number 9’….oddly, perhaps, they also covered a Rascals tune – ‘Baby Let’s Wait’.

  September 1966 – Don`t Blow Your Mind/No Price Tag (Santa Cruz SCR 10.003) released. Recorded in Tucson

”Recording wasn’t an easy chore for us. We had no idea of what we were doing. There wasn’t even a producer around, just us and the engineer. See we played our parts in unison and came up with a version of the song that sounded like we were all stuffed into a phone booth”.
Jack Curtis got them to play it on KFIF in Tucson and the station received hundreds of phone calls requesting the song, most of them placed long distance from Phoenix by our families. The first time I heard myself on the radio I was washing my car in the driveway of our house. I couldn’t believe it was me. It was familiar but foreign, like meeting a twin. After the first adrenaline rush I got very nonplussed about it. Whenever the song would play on the radio I’d switch to another station as if I hadn’t heard it. “Don’t Blow Your Mind” became the number three song on the KFIF play list. [ from: Me, Alice]

September 2, 1966 – Casa Grande, AZ – National Guard Armory (w/The p-Nut Butters and Jerry Wallace) Thanks again Patrick Brzezinski 🙂

WILL THE REAL GLEN BUXTON – STEP FORWARD:

Please note:

This is an informational website…no profit is being made and nothing is for sale. The purpose is to give a history of events in the life of Glen Buxton – along with pictures and information that may have past his way. Of course a lot of Glen’s history occurred with his family and his fellow Earwig/Spider/Nazz/Alice Cooper bandmates….so some of the following relates to them as well. This isn’t a biography….visual or otherwise.
Please understand that the following timelines are not perfect or anywhere near complete. They can and will be changed as we receive new information. Hopefully old and new Alice Cooper fans can help us in that endeavor.
Acknowledgements: We have to thank Si Halley for his website SickthingsUK. As you will see we used a lot of the information found on his site in the *History/Timeline* section. I’ve deleted and added information as I saw fit…but the timeline of the early Alice Cooper era, found at that site, made it much easier to start this project. The ‘sickthings.co.uk’ site is still the most complete site for Alice Cooper information of all kinds…and compares favorably to any other rock band’s info site. Thanks to Dennis Dunaway and Paul Brenton for help with identifying pictures. Also kudos to ‘alicecooperechive.com for having something to compare Si’s info with – to make sure we didn’t skip anything. As in most endeavors – we stand on the backs of those who have come before us.
Pictures: A lot of the pictures used we have taken off the net. If there was a photographer listed for the original, we listed him/her. A good portion of these photos came from my wife and family’s personal collection. We also ‘borrowed’ a few pictures from Paul Brenton’s series of books from the Glen Buxton Memorials. If anyone knows the photographer for a particular picture, please let us know.
