What About This Album?

Patrick Neve

I don't know much about this band but apprantly it's some sort of offshoot of Grand Funk, with whom for some reason Frank also found it imperative to collaborate with. Does anybody have any clue as to how this unlikely team-up came to pass?

After Grand Funk broke up in 1976, band members Don Brewer, Mel Schacher, aand Craig Frost formed the group Flint and released this self titled LP in 1978. Frank Zappa and Todd Rundgren appear on this album. Grand Funk's bass player Mel Schacher plays lead guitar on three songs.
