The Inmates
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

1962-1964
 
 

We were just friends and neighbors who got together to jam. The Inmates (for that locked in sound) transformed into the Bachs Topps before the real group with different spelling came along. None of us knew music really but had a blast learning just enough songs to make fools of ourselves. They are great memories and still a conversation piece.

 

Personnel:
Mike Cicci - Lead Guitar
Alan Pope - Rhythm Guitar
Skitch Davis - Bass
Bobby Rocello - Drums
Dennis Parker - Vocals

Influences:
Beatles, Stones

Setlist Sample:
Susie Q, Paint it Black, Last Time, Ticket To Ride

Equipment:
2 Gibson Sl Guitars, Silvertone amp, homeade amp. A mixed bag of tricks obviously.

Rehearsal Space:
Living rooms, park pavilions

Band Vehicles:
Mom and dads cars

Fashion Statement:
White levis and denim shirts with stenciled numbers as prison numbers.

Best Gig:
Oakland Park Skating rink because our name was on the marquis.

Gig from Hell!:
Oakland Park Lions Club... too much of an age difference. After the 3rd song they paid us and nicely asked us to leave.

Last Gig:
Probably a basement party for school friends.

Comments:
Cool site. I realize you are probably looking for more accomplished bands, but I enjoy the memories still today and I'm looking for someone to jam with even now.
