Steve Barton & Dave Scheff

Steve Barton (vocals, guitar, bass, drums) is best known as one of the singer/songwriters for the '80s new wave band Translator. However, Barton actually began his musical career in 1967; it's just that hardly anybody heard it. At the age of 12, Barton recorded a song for Sidewalk Records called "Lost" with his band the Present Tense; however, the guitar player's father refused to sign the contract, and the track wasn't released until more than three decades later, appearing as a hidden bonus track on Barton's solo debut, The Boy Who Rode His Bike Around the World.
