KBC Band (also sometimes referred to as The Kantner Balin Casady Band)[1][2] was formed in 1985 by former Jefferson Airplane (later Jefferson Starship) members Paul Kantner (guitar and vocals), Marty Balin (vocals and guitar) and Jack Casady (bass).
"[3] The band performed supporting tours from 1985 to 1987 before Kantner left for Nicaragua to investigate the Sandinista situation.
[5] However, Kantner and Casady continued to perform onstage together during Hot Tuna concerts in late 1987 and early 1988, and the three reunited with Grace Slick and Jorma Kaukonen for a Jefferson Airplane reunion album and a reunion tour in 1989, along with Tim Gorman on keyboards for the tour.
[citation needed] The album included three songs that had been performed by KBC Band: "Planes", "Solidarity" and "Summer of Love".
All members of KBC Band except for Verdusco and Crossan participated in the recording of Deep Space/Virgin Sky and Windows of Heaven.
