I could be wrong, but I think this other Robert Calvert (Mother Gong) is
Australian. Also, did you know there is another Dave Brock, who plays
guitar for some unknown US HM band. I read in a magazine years ago that
he had been approached to play Jim Morrison in a rival "Doors" movie at
the time.
Also, what Iggy Pop LP does our Dave Brock play on (if it is ours), and
is it any good???
