Johnny Wild and the Delights is currently my and hubby's favorite band. Rocky and the Rollers used to have the top spot but they have fallen.....better word is plummeted......well below Johnny Wild. I don't know what has happened to Rocky's singers but they sound absolutely awful.

Was a couple of Uncle Bob's members also part of Norman Lee and the Boondock Saints ? I think they also do the sound booth mix still today.

Here is two more that popped into my pea brain
- Herb Gross and the Invictas (pre Rocky and the Rollers?)
- Johnny Cool and the Mobster Swing Bnd (another Paul Vesco band?)

Second Slice plays a great blend of current and past hits especially well especially if you're dancers.

My favorite band is Buzzkats

[Villager-Wannabe]

The following bands are my favorites. They always draw good size crowds and they tend to fill the dance area with enthusiastic dancers. On a side note, I would like to see a really good DJ play some EDM (Electronic Dance Music) just for a change. I'm sure the dancers would be lovin it.

Blue Stone Circle
Uncle Bobs Rock Shop
Rocky and the Rollers
Johnny Wild and the Delights
Cactus Jack and the Cadillacs
501 Blues Band
Second Slice
(American Martian without all the banter)

I wish I knew, maybe someone can tell me. All I know is the band was white guys, the singer was a black guy. They played oldies. I saw them last year at brownwood.

Mpire is one of my favorites, too. Also Cactus Jack and the Cadillacs.

I like most of the bands listed. My only wish is that they start updating their play list. There is only so many times you can hear Mustang Sally! There is a lot of great 70’s, 80’s and 90’s music that is left untapped!

If you are willing to pay, go see Johnny Wild when he is playing at Katie Belle’s or The Savannah Center. They put on a great show that you don’t get to see on the squares!

Actually there is one exception to the "if it's a duo don't bother"... The duo is called He said She said. Todd can shred guitar with the best on them, and Mernie knows how to sing
