Fat Chance - Fat Chance (Korean Remastered) (1972/2019)

Fat Chance was a power horn band originating out of Pocatello, Idaho in 1970. The leader, Steve Eaton formed the group with keyboardist Bill LaBounty, bass player Dale Borge and Gordon Hirsch on drums. Sax player Phil Garonzik and trumpet man Fred Sherman joined the group a few months later. They played in a bowling alley/bar in Twin Falls, Idaho only to be fired for not playing country music. Evel Knievel (the famous motorcycle daredevil) who was in Twin Falls that night when the band got fired, told them to go to a club in Newport Beach and they would be discovered; the band took Evel's advise and left that night for LA and were signed to RCA a few short weeks later. Fat Chance was a power horn group influenced by Chicago Transit Athority and Blood Sweat and Tears. Their producer Jay Senter, produced their only album and even though the album was not a commercial success, several songs penned by LaBounty and Eaton were covered by other artists. Fat Chance toured with groups such as Yes from England and Kenny Rogers.
