Bakery were a progressive hard rock band formed in early 1970 in Perth by two New Zealand-born musicians, Hank Davis on drums and Eddie McDonald on bass guitar – both were ex-members of
Avengers. The line-up was completed by Mal Logan on keyboards (ex-Rebels, a New Zealand band), Peter Walker on guitar (ex-Jelly Roll Bakers) and John Worrall on vocals and flute. "No Dying in the Dark" was a top ten hit on the Perth singles chart. The band's influences were
Black Sabbath,
Deep Purple and
Led Zeppelin. In August 1972 they released their second album,
Momento, by which time Steve Hogg had replaced McDonald on bass guitar and also performed vocals (Juke, King Biscuit Company, Nostra Damus) and Paul Ewing replaced Bullen on organ and vocals; when Verschuer left he was not replaced as Davis, Ewing, Hogg and Walker shared lead vocals. McDonald initially joined a new group, McAskill, and by 1975 was a member of the
Phil Manning Band. Bullen worked in
Jim Keays' Southern Cross and
Marc Hunter's backing band before Bullen died in March 1983. In January 1973 Bakery performed at the
Sunbury Pop Festival and played the festival and concert circuit along Australia's east coast. In February that year, New Zealand-born Barry Leef joined on lead vocals. In April "Living with a Memory", from their Sunbury performance, appeared on the triple-live album
The Great Australian Rock Festival Sunbury 1973 on
Mushroom Records. By that time Phil Lawson had replaced Hogg on bass guitar, with Lawson replaced in August by
Jackie Orszaczky (Syrius). The group continued to perform without further recording until February 1975. ==Members==
