Information About

Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen




After several years spent playing in local bars, core members of the group migrated to San Francisco and scored a recording contract with MCA Records ; the group's first album release, titled '' Lost In The Ozone '', arrived in late 1971 and yielded the group's best-known hit, a version of the country song " Hot Rod Lincoln " which reached the top ten on the ''Billboard'' singles chart in early 1972 . The band released several moderately-successful albums through the first half of the decade before Frayne disbanded the group in 1976 .

Retaining his stage name of Commander Cody, Frayne had a mostly-obscure solo career, touring and releasing albums sporadically from 1977 to the present day; some later albums were released under the Lost Planet Airmen name, though seldom were original group members involved. Recent releases have been under the name '''The Commander Cody Band'''; in addition to Frayne, current members of the band include Steve Barbuto on drums, Mark Emerick on guitar, and Rick Mullen on bass.
