The Take was an American melodichardrock band that evolved from an earlier band called Joker, thatexisted between 1978 and 1980. The first five tracks were recordedin 1980 as a trio but before they entered a studio again, inNovember of 1981, they were a full band. For that second studiosession the band recorded eight tracks and at this point the bandwere already headlining shows and getting local attention. Aftersome line-up changes the band produced a music video for theirsong, Shes Got What It Takes, were aired on Salt Lake MusicTelevision (Utahs equivalent to MTV) where it received greatreviews. So the band were contracted to do a show in Provo, Utahand over one thousand people showed up and the venue managementwere thrilled by the popular sellout and wanted the band to do asecond show. More line-up changes occurred and then it was time forthe band to enter the Forrest Production Studio to lay down moretracks. More videos were shot something that really set the bandapart from other local acts. After a reconstruction of the band in1984 the band finally had some new financial backing to launch themto new heights. So a five track tape called Get Taken was recordedin the autumn of 1984 and the band recorded it with Sam Foster (whohad worked with The Osmonds) and the sound was fuller than theirprevious recordings. Tension had now grown within the band asfounder Mike wanted to go back to singing when seeing vocalistChris taking up more and more of the spotlight so Chris left andformed the band Soldier. 1985 saw the band opening up for ConeyHatch with Michael back on lead vocals. This was also the year whenthe band added more pink and more frills to their wardrobe. 3tracks were recorded in the winter of 1985 and another three trackssession was done in the spring of 1986 (all six of these tracks canbe found on the Pink And Proud compilation). 1986 was also the yearthat Utahs biggest band The Jack broke up and The Take were able toget their local guitar legend EJ Bell to join The Take. So with himthey wrote three more tunes and recorded them in the summer of 1986(also on Pink And Proud). With enough material for an album most ofthe band set out west to Los Angeles to make it big and get arecord deal. However the band had problems getting gigs on the hotSunset Strip and had a hard time even finding day jobs so insteadof breaking it big on the hottest hardrock scene at the time theystarted to fall apart. Dan moved to back to Utah and joined theband Vamp that later became Harlot. The two original membersMichael and Arthur got back together in 1993 and recorded some demosongs true to the bands roots and called the recordings SecondWave. Then in 1997 they brought in some of their past members tore-record some of their old songs with both Chris and Michaelsharing vocal duties. After losing a band member in 2006 the bandthought it was a good idea to go through all tapes and no less than3 cds (one of them even being a double album) was put together andreleased in May of 2021. These three albums Get Taken, Pink AndProud and the double album Hard Wave Heroes features materialrecorded back in the early days of 1980 up to the re-recording ofthe old tracks that were done in 1997. This is a great tribute to along lived and popular band from Utah that could sell out clubs butunfortunately never got their album out to put them on the hardrockmap at the right time. A nostalgic trip for those who heard them atthe time and a great chance for the rest of the world to exploreThe Take and think of what could have been if only&
