Does anybody remember a band from the late 70's called Trillion?

Question

I saw them open for Toto in Houston in '79. I can't find anything on the web about them. Can somebody give me any sites that mentions them? I thought their first album was awesome. They blew Toto off the stage.

To the second answerer, it's not Marillion. Thanx for the try. Marillion was a British band. I think Trillion was Canadian. I'll look at the sites I was given.

Answer 1

here are some sites:

Answer 2

I just read a review of Trillion's second album where lead singer Fergie Fredericksen (Toto, LeRoux, etc) had given the lead vocals to Thom Griffin for 1980's "Clear Approach", released by Mecca. I don't have a track listing. Looks like their stuff was being released by Japan instead of here, possibly to Fergie's ties with Epic/Sony. He went to LeRoux right after this, and then was a session musician in LA.

I am a long time LeRoux fan, and am very excited to find out about Trillion. Three links to information are below, with the bottom two more informative.

Here's a Fergie Fredericksen discography. Thank you.
