The Tampa Bay Florida area rock band as was originally formed in 1983 with members: Lee Steel on guitar, Dave Fairman on bass, Russ Hammock on drums and Bruce Batton on guitar, momentum didn't begin to build until a year later when Kacy Ross (guitarist with the Theatre Band) and Andre' Belloice (drums) took Bruce and Russ' places. [1][2] [3] [4]
The final trio of Ross, Wilcox, and Grandmaison would continue along a path for another 10 years that would make Deloris Telescope a household name throughout Florida, winning several awards, appearing on radio, television, on film, and recording a string of highly successful albums. [5]Deloris Telescope was a a fixture on Tampa Bay's alternative-rock scene for nearly two decades. [6]
The band dissolved in 1996 while the members are still active with solo careers or new projects.
