Hi - I remember Ball & Pivot. They spun out of The Atlantics if memory serves. I remember a song called 2 O'Clock Jump. That would be cool to find if somebody has it....I just Googled them...
memory's not bad for a old dude...here's the skinny.

The Atlantics' songwriters — guitarist Tom Hauck and bassist Bruce Wilkinson — returned a few years later fronting a synth-pop trio called Ball and Pivot. The EP, which echoes Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and Red Noise, is pleasant enough, The most interesting track, however, is "Two O'Clock Jump," which mixes the pair's new sound with the Atlantics' Yardbirds stylings.
