Michael McKenna, previously with Luke & the Apostles and the Ugly Ducklings, formed
McKenna Mendelson Mainline with Joe Mendelson (vocals, guitar, bass, harmonica), Tony Nolasco (vocals, drums) and Frank Sheppard (vocals, bass, mandolin, harmonica). After
Stink (1968) and Canada, Our Home and Native Land (1971), the band shortened their name to
Mainline and broke up soon after. Two posthumous albums appeared in 1972-73: The Mainline Bump and Grind Revue -- Live at the Victory Theatre and Biscuit Meets Mainline. Joe Mendelson's first solo album, Mr. Middle of the Road, appeared in 1972. Michael McKenna and Tony Nolasco later formed Diamondback. A reunion album with
McKenna called No Substitute has also been released. ~ John Bush
