May Blitz were an obscure but pioneering hard rock band with blues and psychedelic tendencies. Started in 1969 in the UK, it consisted of vocalist/guitarist Jamie Black, Tony Newman on drums, (ex Sounds Incorporated and Jeff Beck Group), and Reid Hudson on bass and vocals. Black and Hudson, from Victoria, British Columbia, played Canadian West Coast music prior to moving to England. The original lineup featured bassist Terry Poole and drummer Keith Baker from Bakerloo, but both left before recording anything.
