Which rock band was formed first, Gumball or The Vaccines?
Gumball (band) Gumball was an American rock band formed in New York City in 1990. The original lineup consisted of Don Fleming (vocals and guitar), Eric Vermillion (vocals, bass), and Jay Spiegel (drums). In 1992, a fourth member was added, Malcolm Riviera (guitar, keyboards) who had previously played with Fleming and Spiegel in the Velvet Monkeys.
The Presidents (UK rock band) The Presidents rock band was formed in Sutton, Surrey, UK, in 1958 by Glyn Johns, Robin Mayhew, Colin Golding, Phil Cunliffe, Ken Headley and Pat Lavelle. This lineup changed in 1959 when Martin Johnson replaced Pat Lavelle on vocals, then again in 1962 Eddie Patterson took over from Phil Cunliffe on drums. At about this time Ken Headley left the band to further his studies at Durham University, where he tragically succumbed to liver failure, requiring Robin Mayhew to assume his role on lead guitar.
