This page is put up on myspace by John Marshall and Jeff Radle, drummers of the Nonesuch from different times, with a little help from guitarist Vic Davis and sixties light show producer King Clarentz, with technical computer assistance by coffee drinking "Quiet Joe" Snodgrass, attempting to include all those involved with the Nonesuch (not fan based), an accounting of the past and present history of the Nonesuch.
The Royal Nonesuch (first incarnation) formed December, 1982 in Tulsa Oklahoma, Jon McKinney (originally from LA., CA.) on guitar, Spike (when wearing leather or Nathan without leather, he had a split personality) on bass guitar and vocals, and on drums, Jeff Radle (who's cousin Carl Radle of Tulsa was a bassists for Clapton). This band covering the Yardbirds, Who, Small Faces (more of the mid 60's mod psychedelic genre), and Jon worked with Jeff (both avid 60's vinyl collectors), writing and arranging original material (the song "Something Strange" written in this period), which was recorded later with other members.
Mad Jon and Jeff were roommates in a band house together, playing all hours of the day or night, in a downtown neighborhood where many other bands had houses (including the band Black Flag). It was common for neighborhood musicians to show up and end up in the basement jamming for hours. A Friday night gathering at the house could easily last until Sunday evening.
This line-up of the band played several shows at a local Tulsa punk venue along with hosting and playing many parties during the spring of 1983 under the name "The Royal Nonesuch".

<center>Jon and Walt, photographed by former photo-journalist John Trotter, Trotter a hardcore mod and Missouri state bicycling champion, did work for many newspapers and publications including "Life" magazine</center>
Eventually the Tulsa band house breaking apart and Jon and Jeff moving to Springfield MO., and joining together with members of two retro 60's revival bands, The Sparrows ('79-'82, a pure 60's cover band that Jeff formed with his brother Walt) and the Limit ('78-'84). Sparrows' (heavier mid to late 60's psychedelic genre cover band) members Walter Paisley (bass) and a 60's vinyl collector, & Bez (guitar & vocals), joined with Limit's (more of a mod band) members Chris Fiedler (guitar & vocals) & John Marshall, (drums & Vocals) also a 60's vinyl collector, performing as the Limit, and John and Chris drafted former Sparrow drummer Jeff Radle (Paisley's brother) to continue to sit in as the regular percussionist on the tambourine and maracas to help complete the sixties sound. Jon McKinney, who was also publishing the fanzine "King Bee Quarterly" (only a few issues of the quarterly were published, issue 2 included a Bo Diddley interview, the band helping Mckinney), became the band's manager.
When the Sparrows broke-up (in 82) Walt and Bez joined the Limit (which was already playing at many local venues) when the Limit's original bassists Brian Keiser moved to N.Y. City to attend an art school (side-note; Brian was also in the band Johnny Quest with John Marshall, Vic Davis, and Kyle Donaldson, and while in N.Y. set in on bass on stage several times with the band R.E.M., after returning to Springfield he formed a band with Jeff and guitarist Mike Rayhill doing original material with R.E.M. and Jam covers). Walt and Bez refined the Limit's broader sounds into a sixties fuzz rock band after reforming the Limit with Chris and John. The Limit played a regular Monday night gig at Murphy's (1983).
After Chris left the Limit, John took over lead vocals and their were other guitarists rotating during this period (causing inconsistent gigging), Dink Smith and Randy Flood (both for a very short period, not sporting the fashion), Jim Holopter sporting the fashion filled in for a longer period (83-84), a keyboardist named John Stowers as well, they were not original members of the Limit or Sparrows, which are the two bands that evolved into the Nonesuch.

Later replacing Chris on guitar was band manager and the band's song-writer Mad Jon McKinney, changing the name of the Limit, officially becoming the Royal Nonesuch (with the recording of original material), and for several years this line up played around the Springfield area gaining a dedicated following. With Jon (and the help of several other members) managing the band booking regular weekly gigs, one every Wednesday night (84-85) at the local blues bar Lindburg's (Springfield's oldest tavern), and with Marshall's driving drumming style and screaming lead vocals, Bez's psychedelic crunching guitar leads, McKinney's ranting rhythm guitar, Walt's power driving bass, not to mention some stage slamming tight percussion, the Nonesuch became known for great live performances.
A mid-west sixties wave from the grave, king of fuzz, psychedelic rave-up band with go go dancers, oil light shows, rave-ups with slamming guitars and flying sticks and drums, tambourines exploding into pieces on to the dance floor with girls scrambling for parts, and beer raining from the ceiling after the final rave-up at the end of a show from patrons throwing pitchers of beer up in the air to cool off. This became a regular site for the fans of the Nonesuch. Unheard of or even seen anywhere else in the area at the time.
The Nonesuch played many clubs and venues in and around the area extensively, and a regular every Thursday night gig at the Regency Showcase (86-87). The band having articles written in underground 60's mags from coast to coast and overseas (early write-ups in New York's "99th Floor" and the French magazine "Fuzbeat"), all raving about the band's music, fashion, and high energy performances. The Royal Nonesuch developed the reputation of one of the best garage bands of the mid-west.

Playing gigs with bands such as The Edge (now Kings X), Uncle Tupelo (Wilco), Matt Guitar Murphy (Blues Brothers), Steve Pryor & the Kingsnakes (Tulsa OK.), The Belairs (Columbia MO.), Elvis Brothers (KC. MO.), Steve Bob & Rich (KC MO., now the Rainmakers), The Mistakes (Spfd, MO.) with Bill Brown (guitarist for Ozark Mt. Daredevils), and touring at times with the local band Fool's Face (Spfd, MO.).
Also performing with other 60's cover bands, and at a time when most people were following new wave music, making these gigs most appreciated, Tell Tale Hearts (San Diego, CA), Chesterfield Kings (Rochester, NY), & The Cynics (Pittsburg, PA.).
The show in Springfield with the Tell Tale Hearts, an event that was special with the opening of The Primitive A Go Go, a swinging London 60's retro club that Jon McKinney opened and operated for a short time in early 1985. The Hearts were guests for about a week that January, driving through near blizzard conditions to get in to town, and seeing fans drive through the same conditions from as for away as Tulsa, excited to be a part of the opening event. John Marshall moved into the apartment above the club and most of the Nonesuch worked on or at the club. A review of the <a href="http://cheunderground.com/blog/?tag=jon-mckinney">Primitive A Go Go</a> was written by Ray Brandes of the Hearts which appears in the liner notes of the Hearts' release "Live Volume II; Later That Night In Springfield" (Corduroy Records, Australia, 1997) and the song <a href=" http://cheunderground.com/blog/wp-conten t/uploads/2008/09/01-smokes-live.mp3">"Smokes"</a>, recorded at the club opening, is featured in an online article recently posted.
The Nonesuch toured regularly and played Fayetteville AR., Tulsa OK, Joplin MO., KC MO., Columbia MO., St Louis MO., and Chicago ILL. many times. Several tours to the east coast including Detroit MI., Minneapolis MN., Pittsburg PA., NYC., & Boston. The band touring in a variety of vehicles ranging from a 1956 school bus converted to a camper (painted green), to a Country Squire station wagon, a stretched old Checker cab with four doors on each side (painted black), and a Volkswagon bus too.

<center>Playing the outdoor Spring Peace Festival on campus at SMSU (now MSU) in Springfield, mid 80's</center>
Then in 1989 (shortly after a New Years Eve show in Tulsa), for various reasons, the band stopped performing live for a period of time but maintained trips to the studio to record (including <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=50895157">The Studio</a> in downtown Springfield during the summer of 1999 with owner Lou Whitney engineering).

<center>Mad Jon McKinney at Tramps in New York City, 1988</center>
In 1989, Jon McKinney moved to L.A. CA., and joined the Tell Tale Hearts and operates a small studio on the property (a small orchard) he lives at in Yucaipa, CA., and later John Marshall moved to St.L. MO. to join the Lettaceheads, living with some of the members of that band in the "Rug Barn". A cool old building in central St. Louis, where the band practiced and recorded, the walls and ceilings were completely covered with old school shag carpeting. John, no longer at the barn, is now playing with Swingset, a swing jazz band that plays regularly around the city and at times still playing shows with the Lettuceheads. Dr. Kurtis moved to San Diego CA., is into film production now.

<center>Drummer John Marshall, photo 1988</center>
For five years in the early 90's, the line up of guitars changed, (guitarists rotating from Kyle Donaldson, Larry Cataldo, & Chris Fiedler), with Eric Williams as vocalist, Walt on bass, Bez on lead guitar, and Jeff on drums, this incarnation played under the name The Electric Corpse Grinders and only performed on Halloween. Large crowds would attend these party events during the early 90's, most hosted by Rick Moore (former member of the band the Balls with Mike Rayhill). Rick was in the band Red West with Jeff, a band that played many shows at the Commercial St. Club (one of the <a href="http://ozarkpunkrock.blogspot.com/2008/11/forgotten-punk-clubs-of-springfield.html">forgotten punk clubs</a> of Springfield, 88'-92') and Murphy's during some of this time in the early 90's.
In 1995, on St. Pat's Day, Jeff opened the Magic Bean Coffeehouse (a retro venue), located across the street from the M.S.U. campus, Chris Fielder helping with construction and coffee cook management in the beginning, the Bean has been the host to 1000's of bands, poetry slams, and movie presentations. Kyle Donaldson performed for opening night, Swingset with Marshall played a show to a full house, and Walt (a Springfield chess champion) hosted chess tournaments in the early days of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/magicbeansforeveryone">The Bean</a>. King Clarentz has played many shows throughout the years as well. When Marshall was in town one of the last times, there was an all night jam session with Vic Davis and Jeff in the coffeehouse, playing until sunrise. December 2008, John came to town and tagged up with Jeff at the coffeehouse and traded drum licks, watched old school videos (that included Devo and Fool's Face), and discussed plans about getting together and jamming with Vic again.

<center>Victor Davis</center>
Walt, Bez, Vic, & Eric tagged up in 1996 with the Gin Blossom's ex-drummer, & performed as Rabbi Sputnik (not a pure 60's material band) for a few years. This band playing around Springfield, regularly at the Outland, gaining recognition and receiving a few newspaper mentions and articles.

Royal Nonesuch gigs still happen from time to time with different drummers, mainly John Marshall or Lloyd Hicks, guitars include Victor Davis and Bez, Walt on Bass, Eric Williams as vocalist. Most recently the Royal Nonesuch, back from the grave, put on a few gigs in Springfield at the Outland (the February 2002 show, with Springfield News-Leader article by entertainment writer Michael Brothers promoting the gig, King Clarentz putting on the light show, John on drums, Jeff doing percussion, the dance floor was full and the bar overflowing the front door on this first show back) and after a couple of shows at the Outland, the Nonesuch played a gig with John on drums at the Blue Note in Columbia MO. (this show with excellent reviews), and later a short "Fuzzfest 2003" show at the El Torreon Ballroom, November 22, 2003 in KC MO. with Lloyd Hicks on drums. An article by Rascal Jones in the Springfield Community Free Press, December 10th 2003, with the description of a different show than the Blue Note, less than stellar, but "interesting". Walt now commanding the band manager spot.

The Royal Nonesuch has put out a couple of 45's and an EP, along with having songs on compilation albums in Greece, France, and Germany with other 60's revival bands.
