Gringo

Gringo was an English pop-rock band that made a 1971 self-titled album on MCA. Guitarist/keyboardist Henry Marsh became a mainstay of Sailor. Bassist/vocalist John G. Perry did stints in Spreadeagle, Caravan, Curved Air, Quantum Jump, and Aviator. He also cut a solo album, Sunset Wading, in 1976 on Decca.

Pre-Gringo, the instrumental core of Perry, Marsh, and Canadian expat drummer Simon Byrne constituted Toast, which cut a 1970 one-off single on CBS.
