Formed in Bemidji (Minnesota). They were considered one of the most promising teams in the Midwest.
In 1970, under the leadership of producer Elliot Abbott (later worked with "Kansas") they recorded an album of the same name, which was approvingly received by listeners and critics. Clear voices and soothing melodies were equally well received both in recordings and in live performances
After two or three years of almost continuous touring (including with Elton John, who came to America, and the groups "Sugarloaf" and "Poco"), the 2nd record was released - "Homemade" (1973). It was recorded and mixed in 70 hours, but was not much inferior to the previous one.
Unfortunately, after playing another concert tour, the participants decided to go home...
Guitarist Dan Lund worked as a session musician, for example, for Robin & Linda Williams. In the 90s he released two solo albums.
Jack Sundrud - participated as a backing vocalist on other artists' records, wrote songs, played bass in Poco (1985-87), then became the frontman in Great Plains (1987-91). Helped by Mark Selby. Since 2000 - again in "Poco". In 2005 he recorded a solo album.
The leader of the group, John Collins, changed several little-known groups and became a bluesman. Died in 1995. His son discovered many live and demo recordings of "Podipto", which he now plans to remaster and publish. Some of them are posted on the website.
