I was drum security lol. It was an outdoor show at St. Louis University. PFP was playing and their drummer used DW brand drums... custom, hand made drums. At the time I managed a regional rock band called The Undecided. Thier drummer J.R. Engle played DW drums as well. PFP drummer had had an accident with his kit and there was a "society" of DW users who could stay in touch and borrow drums when needed. He contacted us and wanted to use J.R.'s drums since J.R. was closest to the show. So me and The Undecideds booking agent made the trip with the drums, set them up and sat on the concrete wall right behind the kit during the show to guard them. Then took them down, reloaded and drove back home.
We had to clean an assload of ashes and rose petals off the kit before we could tear down. Good times though. [Reply]

Drum security is where the action is, Fever.
"Step back away from the drums! Did you just hit the pedal? Don't make me taze ya, bro!" :-)
They have talent, the lead singer has a strong voice, and the lyrics are clear and catchy.
Their essence was an 80's rock band but made their way into the 90's. Opened for Motley Crue among others. Others liking them isn't so important to me... some of the best days of my life were with those guys. [Reply]
Here's another. From their 2nd album "II... Late Now." The album was produced by Mark Beil who co-produced Bon Jovi. I was in the studio the day they recorded this song... such a good time.

The band is back together again now. Spent a day and a show with them this past summer and introduced them again. Was like the old days again.
I'd like you guys opinion even if it's bad. These guys are good, old friends.
Oh, ha! I went with the first "The Undecided" on YouTube.

I think it's cool that you got to be a part of that, Fever! :-) If they could break through and produce a hit single, I'm sure they would go far. [Reply]
