Legends Of South African Disco Rock
After the chaos that was Rabbittmania and before worldwide success with the band Yes in 1983, Trevor Rabin was involved in a number of sessions and helped create and enhance South Africa’s take on Disco Rock. He played with Hot R.S., The Julian Laxton Band, and he had his own studio band with Disco Rock Machine. The name says it all!
