Zed Yago
Founded in Germany by blues singer Jutta in 1985, Zed Yago were a traditional rock concern very much in keeping with the sound pioneered by fellow nationals, Warlock. Jutta's vocal style owed much to Doro from Warlock, but also saluted American singer Ronnie James Dio. Her band comprised Jimmy and Gunnar on guitar, Tach on bass and a larger-than-life bald powerhouse of a drummer known as Bubi. They first attracted mainstream attention in May 1989 with the release of Black Bone Song. This was followed by their second album and a tour—one concert of which was broadcast live on BBC Radio 1. They vanished in 1990 having failed to make any lasting impact.
