Born when the
Excursians broke up, Steve and Lou started playing
together in Steves basement, he knew a guy who
played drums, then we found Chris, and the rest is
history. All we did was practice, and smoke
cigarettes until we got our first gig at the teen
center at Wildlake Columbia, so we broke out our
black lights and played the show. We got a gig to
play at the "Ball and Chain" in downtown Baltimore,
but we were told it was "a bad place" so we
cancelled to stay in the counties. Little did we
know that by going to Aberdeen High, we were
actually in danger of being SHOT at. I think the
Ball and Chain would have been the better gig. The
kids in Aberdeen were looking forward to hearing
C&W, and we came out slinging Grand Funk.. talk
about culture shock!!
