Satyrs Haddon Heights, New Jersey 1968       We originally met through school. Kenny/Andy/myself, and I think we met Craig( I for the life of me cannot remember your last name!) and Mike through Frank Sanske. We started playing together for something to do. My first guitar was a Sears Silvertone with a case amp which had about as much volume as a transistor radio. When we got Andy into the mix on drums, things seemed to gel and we were sounding better, writing stuff, and learning a lot of songs. We sold ourselves to a local producer who had radio station contacts. We got gigs. A lot of them. Played parties, dances, a couple military-type functions (National Guard,...lots of booze there) and a couple "Battle of the Bands" type things which we won, leading to recording time and making our single "Yesterday's Hero". We pushed it ourselves (you could do that back then).     Personnel: Bob Agnew - Guitar Andy Madajewski - Drums Kenny Riebel - Keyboards Mike Doerr - Vocals Craig - Bass/Vocals Influences: Doors, ? & the Mysterians, Frank Zappa, Beatles Setlist Sample: Yesterday's Hero, 96 Tears, Light My Fire Equipment: Mosrite Amp, Kapa/Fender Guitars, Vox Amp, Acetone Organ, Andy's Drums Rehearsal Space: Wherever we could (Kenny's basement and mine, if the parents could stand it) Band Vehicles: Coon's Dodge Dart, mostly. Fashion Statement: Whatever you weren't allowed to wear at school. Best Gig: Most memorable for me was playing on 'Main Street' in Bristol, PA, for WFIL and the Bristol Town Council. We played on the main street in front of a clothing store. They set us up with Nehru Jackets and Beads and the whole 'hippie' look. There were girls all over the place, we were tight and good, Everybody liked us. Gig from Hell!: Probably the first one, see the first pic on my site. Last Gig: I think it was at a fashion show at Lit's at Cherry Hill Mall. Comments: More info at: http://www.satyrsstory.com where you can now download an MP3 of Yesterday's Hero!        Where are they now? That's what I'm trying to find out. I landed in Arizona about 12 years ago. I recently restored email contact with Andy, he still lives in NJ. Still trying to find the others.    Information contributed by Bob Agnew nospamaloud@yahoo.com
