Vova Nova

Vova Nova was an American funk rock band from Birmingham, Alabama, originally formed as Forecast in 1978. Its two founding members were Glen Butts and Libba Walker; Mark Lanter joined the band as its drummer in 1980, and Milton Davis followed as bassist in 1984. By the late 1980s, the band had changed its name to the Cast, and in 1991, they signed with Chameleon Records, which was taken over by Elektra Records the following year. The band subsequently changed their name to Vova Nova at the insistence of their publisher.
