Bodacious D.F. was the second group that singer
Marty Balin became involved with after leaving
Jefferson Airplane in 1970. First, he directed the activities of
Grootna, with whom he did not perform on their sole album. Then, he became involved with Bay Area band
Bodacious D.F. --
Mark Ryan (bass, vocals), Dewey Dagreaze (drums, vocals),
Vic Smith (guitar, vocals), and
Charlie Hickox (keyboards, vocals).
Bodacious D.F. recorded one self-titled album in 1973, which represented
Balin's first LP appearance since
Jefferson Airplane's 1969 Volunteers album. But, in 1974,
Balin rejoined some of his old
Jefferson Airplane cohorts in
Jefferson Starship, leaving
Bodacious D.F. a one-shot effort. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
