The Original Snail

Snail was a Rock band formed originally by Bob O'Neill and Ron Fillmore along with Dave Kibler in 1967. They were a Cream styled power trio. Snail played the club circuit in the San Francisco bay area till the mid 80's.In 78 & 79 Snail released two albums Snail and the Flow albums with considerable success. Snail performed on "American Bandstand" with their signature song "The Joker" and was the opening act for Styx on a nationwide tour in 1980. Just a step away from the big break they deservedly earned. Bob O'Neill always wanted to revive Snail. So in the spring of 2009 this became a reallity.
