about
Captain Beyond was a progressive hard rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1971. The original lineup consisted of vocalist Rod Evans, guitarist Larry Rheinhardt (also known as "Rhino"), bassist Lee Dorman, and drummer Bobby Caldwell. Evans had previously been a member of Deep Purple, while Rheinhardt and Dorman had played with Iron Butterfly. Caldwell gained recognition for his work with Johnny Winter. This lineup recorded the band's debut album, "Captain Beyond." For their second album, "Sufficiently Breathless," Caldwell was replaced by drummer Martin Rodriguez. Following the release, Evans left the group, leading to the band's first breakup in 1973. Captain Beyond re-formed in 1976 with new vocalist Willy Daffern and the return of Bobby Caldwell on drums. The band released "Dawn Explosion" in 1977 before disbanding again in 1978. A later reformation occurred in 1998, resulting in the release of the EP "Night Train Calling." This version of the band remained active until 2003, when they disbanded following Larry Rheinhardt’s diagnosis with cancer.
