After a switch to the name
Pipeline in 1975, the group also decided to switch to making
hard rock instead of disco. Record labels competed to sign them but, when they finally ended up at
Columbia Records, their single "Gypsy Rider" did not fare well commercially. In 1976, they got the opportunity to become
The Universal Robot Band along with underground disco producers
Patrick Adams and
Greg Carmichael. This project was more successful than their former projects. They made the single "
Barely Breaking Even" alongside singer
Leroy Burgess, and they also recorded an album. The group toured as The Universal Robot Band until 1978. After 1978, the band decided to make all their music themselves under the new name of
Kleeer.
The System lead singer
Mic Murphy was a road manager for the band before the start of his record career. After the 1985's album
Seeekret, the band disappeared for unknown reasons. Most of the musicians continued working with other projects. In the 1990s, however, the group re-formed as Kleeer at some occasions. ==Discography==
