Feb 14, 2005 | 10:27 amLos Angeles based disco band. Recorded "Uptown festival" for the Soul Train label before the band was even named. (They were apparently named after a brand of perfume - Shalimar). "Uptown festival" is a disco styled medley of 1960's Motown hits, and became an instant success internationally in discos. A proper front for the group was then brought together so the band could appear live.
