2) The Boyz in the Washington/Baltimore area. In 1973, Joe Hasselvander, citing a desire to play heavier music and knowing the limited accessibility of jazz fusion, began playing with the Washington D.C. band The Boyz in the Washington/Baltimore area. The Boyz would gain a sort of popular reputation in the area, even if the majority of their set was just covers (And Hasselvander claiming they'd practice Mountain songs just to warm up.) In 1976, Hasselvander was asked to play in Mountain with Leslie West in a small club in Alexandria, Virginia. West would invite Hasselvander to tour with the group full-time but Hasselvander ultimately declined. However a few weeks after the performance with Mountain, members of The Boyz and Pentagram would form a "supergroup" known as Sex. This would lead Hasselvander to moving in with one Bobby Liebling to join Pentagram as the band's drummer and fellow songwriter, along with filling Hasselvander's desire to play heavier music.
The Boyz would end up releasing an EP entitled Bustin' Out in 1981 followed by a Falls Church, Virginia show with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. However by 1982, Hasselvander was committed to performing in metal bands and had put the group in the past.
