An unsung power pop band of the '70s, Artful Dodger existed in the mid-'70s gap that separated the Raspberries from Cheap Trick. Sonically, Artful Dodger skewed toward the huge arena hooks of the Raspberries but they lacked the Paul McCartney infatuation of Eric Carmen, favoring a big roar that tamed the arena rock of the Who.

Artful Dodger (formed in 1973 in Fairfax, Virginia) are an Americanpower pop/rock band, noted for their rock compositions, quick lyrics and vocal harmonies. The group was heavily influenced by the Beatles, Faces, and the Rolling Stones and drew frequent comparisons to the Raspberries. Artful Dodger's studio releases received high critical praise, but the band was unable to penetrate the charts.

History[edit]

This section taken (modified) from the Randy's Rodeo website.

Originally called Brat, Artful Dodger was formed in 1973 in Fairfax, Virginia, out of the remains of two local bands, Homestead and Badge. Creatively, the key members were Gary Herrewig (guitar) and Billy Paliselli (vocals), who wrote most of the songs as a team, and Gary Cox (guitar and vocals), who also wrote songs (usually by himself). Steve Cooper (bass) and Steve Brigida (drums) formed the rhythm section. Brigida was an ideal foil for the band's songs, combining the steady time-keeping of Charlie Watts with the flash of Keith Moon. The group's first release was a self-produced single, 'Not Quite Right', which never made it onto an LP, with 'Long Time Away' as the B-side. The original bass player, Robb Michael Inglis, split with the group during contract negotiations in 1974.Management & the group paid him to release his tracks and essentially disappeared him from the group's history.His bass tracks are featured on Brat, 'Not Quite Right', the original 45 release B-side,' Long Time Away' and the first album release of 'New York City'.Steve Cooper was chosen as his replacement. 'Long Time Away' was re-recorded for their first album with an increased tempo and more pop feeling. Gary Cox traveled with a demo tape to New York City received an offer from the Leber-Krebs management firm, whose biggest act was Aerosmith. They were signed to Columbia Records and paired with Aerosmith producer Jack Douglas. After being forced to choose a new name (another Brat had prior claim), Artful Dodger released their self-titled debut album in September 1975.[1]Produced by Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, Alice Cooper) with a focus on little clutter, Artful Dodger combined aspects of hard rock and Beatles-derived pop. The song 'Wayside' became an acknowledged classic, but the rest of the album, particularly the explosive 'Think Think' and Cox's ballad, 'Silver and Gold,' is also noteworthy. Reportedly, the label's choice of the latter song as the album's lead single combined with a lack of sales was the beginning of a rift between Cox and the rest of the band.

The next album, Honor Among Thieves, expanded upon the band's style of classic pop with a harder edge and more accomplished performances. Co-produced by Douglas and Eddie Leonetti, the album featured the power ballad 'Scream' as the single. However, this second record failed to sell as well, even though the press was supportive and the band toured extensively.

During the summer of 1976 the band opened for KISS. By the release of Babes On Broadway (1977), the band's experiences in writing and recording began to show. Produced exclusively by Eddie Leonetti, critical accolades on Babes On Broadway were fewer, with 'Can't Stop Pretending' standing out. Still, the album was again no success and Artful Dodger found themselves without management, record deal, and founding member Gary Cox.

They regrouped with piano/guitar expert Peter Bonta (previously with the Nighthawks and Rosslyn Mountain Boys) filling in for guitarist Cox, and they signed to Ariola Records in 1980. The intervening three years had been eventful ones for rock music - punk happened, and power pop coalesced into an identifiable, coherent sound. On their first and only Ariola release (and their last overall), Artful Dodger is perhaps guilty of a self-conscious attempt to jump on the very bandwagon they helped create. The redeeming factor is, they succeeded magnificently.

Artful Dodger's Rave On is an unqualified (if unheralded) power pop classic, contrasting starkly with Babes On Broadway in that highlights are difficult to pick among a record so consistently fine. Certainly, however, 'She's Just My Baby' warrants mention as an absolutely perfect pop single; Rave On, in fact, stands toe-to-toe with albums as great (and famous) as Raspberries' Fresh and Badfinger's Straight Up. Artful Dodger plays as if they had something to prove (they didn't) and as if their life depended on it (it did), and their energy fairly leaps from the grooves. Everything, including continued praises from the critics, seemed to point towards success at long last, but it was not to be. In a marketplace cluttered with skinny-tied popsters (and poseurs), Artful Dodger had become just one more band for the industry to toss against the wall of public taste, hoping they'd stick.

Billy Paliselli, whose raspy, impassioned vocals and pretty boy looks were key to the band's appeal, left to spend more time with his family (he eventually opened a motorcycle shop in Amissville, VA) and in 1982, a dispirited Artful Dodger broke up. The rhythm section of Steve Cooper and Steve Brigida partnered with Washington DC guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Jeff Smith and continue to record and play live with Smith as the Band of Steves. Peter Bonta opened his own recording studio, Wally Cleaver's, located in northern Virginia. He produced, engineered and played on solo projects for Gary Herrewig (the unreleased Four Gone Conclusions), Billy Paliselli and Gary Cox (a set of country demos shopped unsuccessfully to Nashville). Bonta also found steady work recording and touring with Mary Chapin Carpenter.

In 1991, Artful Dodger played two reunion shows in Cleveland, Ohio (where they still get airplay) for the Cleveland Agora's 25th anniversary and appeared at the Legends of Rock Reunion '91 event held in Parkman, Ohio, but the reunion didn't take. Sony briefly issued Honor Among Thieves on CD in the early 1990s, and the first two LPs were both reissued on CD by Pendulum Entertainment Group in 1997. In 2008, American Beat Records re-issued Honor Among Thieves. In 2017, Real Gone Music issued a 2-CD set The Complete Columbia Recordings, making the Babes on Broadway album available on CD for the first time. Rave On has yet to see a legitimate CD release.

Due in large part to a resurgence of fan interest on the internet, Artful Dodger reunited once again to kick off a year-long series of 'flashback' concerts to celebrate the Cleveland Agora's 40th anniversary. This reunion show occurred on December 31, 2005. The band returned to the Agora for a show on April 1, 2006 and played at the annual Taste of Cleveland event on September 2, 2006. The band last performed on May 3, 2008, once again at the Cleveland Agora.

The band continues to practice together and interacts with fans on the internet. Their performance at the Cleveland Agora on November 21, 2009 was recorded live to multi-track by Lava Room Recording.

Former guitarist Gary Cox (born Gary Steven Cox in Arlington, Virginia on January 17, 1953) died in Bristow, Virginia on August 12, 2012, at age 59.[2]
