A kicked up full-time cover band performing tunes by Queen, Yes, Beatles, Bad Company and Led Zeppelin. For a couple of years, ICE was untouchable as a local band…literally filling night clubs all over New England with big Marshall stacks, Flying V's, synthesizers, smoke shows, great vocal harmonies, powerful guitars and expensive lights.

Leader Dog

1976-1977: Johnny Press and Bobby Young were tired of just doing studio work and wanted to Rock out again. They hooked up with Lee Vachon and Peter Fowler to form Leader Dog.


An all original band that wanted to be a hell raisin' all out loud R&R outfit. They became just that. Ron Dupont was originally the lead Vocalist and the band recorded 5 tunes at CRS in Bridgeport CT.

After Ron left the band decided Lee would sing lead. the band actually only did 3 gigs before disbanding. The songs from that time showed up in other Vachon groups such as ICE & the Guitars. Some of the left over music shows Lee and Johnny at their very best together.
