Not surprised they played around StL. The band got put together in Charleston when a few of the guys were going to EIU. Later they operated out of Champaign or Bloomington.
But...
"Don't Call us..." was not by Head East. Their other modest hit was Love Me Tonight, also off Pancake.
That song was done by Sugarloaf.
Same guys that did "Green Eyed Lady". Jerry Corbetta was an excellent keyboardist. The main riff on " Don't Call..." was actually him on a growling Hammond B-3.
Here's the song.
