Bux were a successful club act on the circuit in the DC area between 1972 and 1974. In the earliest phases of the band, the lineup included two future Angel members, Punky Meadows and Mickie Jones. In early 1973, Capitol Records signed the band and rushed them into the studio to record their debut album. Within several months the album was complete, but Capitol balked on the deal and the band were dropped from the roster.
It is not know just how much longer the band continued, but reports of shows in 1974 confirm that they were functional at least early in the year. By the end of the year, Meadows and Jones were signing a new contract with Angel and their debut was released the following year. By 1976, Angel was in full swing and enjoying national exposure. Capitol, sensing an opportunity to cash in on the band's success, issued the Bux album they had canned several years prior. Though some ardent Angel fans snapped them up eagerly, the album kept a low profile and failed to ignite widespread interest. (from http://robotsforronnie.blogspot.com/)
