Before there was American Idol, there was a show called American Bandstand, hosted by Dick Clark. This show was on the air for 35 years! Back then they only allowed established signed acts to appear on the program. Having an unsigned artist was unheard of! The only unsigned act to ever appear in the history of the show?? Well the one and only Michael Tafoya with his band The B’zz.

Rock on,

It really is amazing thinking about all the bands that were around at the time that the B’zz appeared on this legendary show. The only unsigned band in the 35 year history of American Bandstand. Shortly after appearing on AB, they were signed to major record label Epic Records. Pretty impressive stuff I must say considering all the talent that was around at the time.
