Cactus broke up in 1972 but in 2006 original members Carmine Appice, Tim Bogert and Jim McCarty recruited powerhouse vocalist Jimmy Kunes and harmonica player Randy Pratt to resurrect the band and bring the power of the boogie pack to the people.

 Quick facts about Cactus
There are several musical projects under the name Cactus: 1) 1960s supergroup 2) A Bengali Rock Band from Kolkata, India 3) 8 piece ska band from Brisbane, Australia 4) a psytrance artist 5) Noise/Drone from San Francisco. 6) A Norwegian rock band with screamo elements. 1) The plan was for the Vanilla Fudge rhythm section of bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice to join with guitar god Jeff Beck and his singer Rod Stewart in a supergroup of sorts in the fall of 1969. The plan was derailed when Beck had an automobile accident that incapacitated him for the next 18 months. Stewart then joined pal Ron Wood in the revamped Faces (and pursued a somewhat lucrative solo career), leaving Bogert and Appice to find alternates for their dream band. They recruited guitarist Jim McCarty from Mitch Ryder’s Detroit Wheels, Ted Nugent’s Amboy Dukes and The Buddy Miles Express, and singer Rusty Day from Ted Nugent’s Amboy Dukes. This line-up managed three albums (Cactus, One Way… Or Another, and Restrictions) before interband troubles led to Jim McCarty quitting at the end of 1971. Shortly afterwards Rusty Day was fired from the group. The fourth and last Cactus album (‘Ot ‘N’ Sweaty) featured original rhythm section Bogart and Appice joined by Werner Fritzschings on guitar, Duane Hitchings on keyboards and Peter French on vocals. After Cactus’ dissolution in 1972, Bogert and Appice finally joined with Beck to form Beck, Bogert & Appice. Learn more about Cactus
