BUX was actually a later incarnation of guitarist James Newlon's DADDY WARBUX, a Cape Cod based outfit dating back to 1967. Under this guise the band consisted of vocalist Sheba Coates, Newlon (known as 'The Wheel'), bassist Jerry Stroup and ex FATE drummer Tommy Bonriggio. Coates departed in 1972 for a covers act CORTEGE and former RICHIE &THE RENEGADES man Bob Leger filled the position. As DADDY WARBUX the band toured America supporting Brits HUMBLE PIE. A later addition to the line up was keyboard player/ vocalist Wiley Crawford. Re-billed as BUX the band was signed to Frank Connolly, then AEROSMITH manager.

Although BUX's 'We Came To Play' album, produced by AEROSMITH producer Jack Douglas, was released in 1976 it had actually been recorded three years previously. Capitol Records only issued the album in order to cash in the success of former BUX members Punky Meadows and Mickey Jones with Glam Pompsters ANGEL.

Ralph Morman would turn up in the early 80's fronting the JOE PERRY PROJECT and spent some time in Malibu with CHAMELEON, as club band also including Rusty Anderson, Andrew Wedgbury and drummer Jimmy Volpe. The latter wound up in Los Angeles Metal outfit WARRIOR by the middle of the decade. Mormon had joined SAVOY BROWN by that point.

Newlon, through stints with CHARLIE FLANNERY'S OIL WELL, a reunion with Leger in THE WORKERS through until 1980 and THE WILEY CRAWFORD BAND, eventually reunited with DADDY WARBUX drummer Tom Bonriggio in JAMES EAR & THE COMPETITION. Leger's later acts included TONY & THE MECHANICS and LAST CALL FOR BLUES.
