Flashback is a 1980’s-1990's ;retro-political PSYCHEDELIC band from Malibu, California. They play a mixture of Blues, Rock, and R&B with Psychedelic overtones. The nucleus of the band was Billy Aylesworth (Lead guitar, Vocals), Eden Unger (Bass), Dean Karem (Drums), and Robert Mirabilio (Keyboards, Vocals). Billy was the founder of the group and served as the main songwriter, and front-man. This lineup recorded a 45 [7"] Single “Nuclear Blues/Rock the World”, which was a regional success, and became a “cult hit” in Germany. In later incarnations of the group Eden was replaced by renowned glamrock Bass player Paul Saylor. Matt “Wolf” Chazin joined the band on Percussion in time for their second single “Made a Fool Out of Me”. Flashback was a popular live attraction on the Los Angeles club circuit throughout the 1980’s. They also played a few festivals in the Southern California area. Flashback disbanded in the late 80’s, and splintered into various successful bands. Mirabilio and Chazin went on to form the heavy metal band TYRANNY (JCI/Warner Brothers Records). Unger formed the band LEGAL REIGNS (Arista records) in San Fransisco and was a member of the Bay Area 'grunge' band ENORMOUS (A&M Records). Billy Aylesworth went on to play and/or record with members of Earth, Wind & Fire, The Grass Roots, Cowboy Surfer, Rose Royce, B.T.O., folk hero & activist Frances Plante-Scott (Billy produced and played many of the instruments on her last album ORGANIC PLANTE), Little Feat, Billy Cowsill, and many more. Aylesworth also had great success as a television Writer & Producer in Canada (as Bill Aylesworth). Billy is currently the Owner & CEO of DYNAMIC MEDIA in Topanga, CA, and President of GREAT SCOTT PRESENTATIONS, LLC in Malibu, CA. He is recording his debut solo album for Great Scott Records; Billy has also re-teamed with TYRANNY and Robert Mirabilio for a 2007 Tour. Billy still plays and records as Billy Aylesworth & Flashback.
