Blackfeather are an Australian rock group which formed in April 1970. The band had practically every musician EVER in its ranks at one time or another, yet only managed to release 2 studio albums. Their debut album, At the Mountains of Madness (April 1971), is a solid 70's progressive rock album (complete with the obligatory 14 minute 'opus') entitled The Rat.
In case you thought I was exaggerating about members of the band, here is a comprehensive list of members.

If you read the Line -up above and think, Is that the same Bon Scott that was in AC/DC, the answer is yes! Blackfeather apparently recruited him to play on this album for his outstanding tambourine skills.
I need more tambourine!
