The Glass Sun - 1964-1972

The Glass Sun, from Westland Michigan, made several recordings from 1964 to 1972. Originally The Cyclones, the band consisted of Bruce Roll (guitar/vocals), Rick Roll (bass/vocals on "No One Knows About Me"), and Danny Sills (Drums).

In 1965, the band played weekly gigs at a local Army/Navy hall for Friday night teen dance, in addition to the Westland Civic Center. As with many other bands of the time, they played a number of local band wars from time to time resulting in victory in Wayne, Michigan in 1966.

They began recording original material in fall of 1964, when the group met Danny Dallas, who would assume the role of production for the next 8 years at his own studio.The band released two 7" 45's on Dallas' 'Sound Pattern' label. The Brothers Roll ended up serving military tours in Vietnam, yet still made recordings whenever time permitted. The last sessions made with Mike Cassengrande (guitar) and his brother Bob (keyboards) until Bruce could be discharged from the service.

The Glass Sun recently released a CD retrospective: Cyclonic Revue of most (if not all) of their recordings on the still existent Sound Pattern Records.
