Cactus are a rock & roll supergroup that has featured members of Vanilla Fudge, Mitch Ryder's Detroit Wheels, and Ted Nugent's Amboy Dukes at one time or another. They formed in 1969 with a sound that combined blues, boogie, and hard rock. Between 1970 and 1972, they issued four full-length efforts, including their Billboard-charting eponymous debut, before ceasing operations after the release of 'Ot 'n' Sweaty. They re-formed in 2006 and unveiled Cactus V, their first studio album in 34 years. Since then, the band have continued to tour and record sporadically -- notably on 2024's feature-heavy Temple of Blues -- with drummer Carmine Appice serving as the sole original member.
