The Action

The Action were based in Ohio between 1979-82, and featured Mike Purkisher on guitar and vocals (and brother of Lux Interior of The Cramps), Brent Warren on bass and Cliff Bryant on drums. "Get Back To Me" (1978) was the first of three singles, all on the same RadioGram label, followed by 1979's "Radio Music" and 1981's "She's Got My heart", all with the trio patented harmonies ans sense of melody intact. In the late 90's Mike gigged with a band called 3-D, and even spent time as live sound engineer for the only Beatles tribute band officially sanctioned by Apple Records, 1964. Meanwhile Brett and Billy Sullivan have also written songs for numerous artists including Dave Edmunds. More importantly, Brent and Mike backed former Raspeberrie Scott McCarl on his 1997 album 'Play On', bringing it all full circle.
