\"Bob<\/a>

Bob Janneck and Brian Goodman<\/p><\/div>\n

My friend Eileen kept telling me about the Insiders. She said you’ll love these guys!<\/p>\n

So I head over to Moose Lips on Clinton & Ridge. During the break between sets Bob & Jim come over and start talking to me. I tell them they should check out my band Cousin & And The Relatives we have a gig at Ruth & Irv’s Astralogical Fish & Steaks!<\/p>\n

While we’re on stage I see ALL of the Insiders come in. They have a few drinks and start dancing around.<\/p>\n

We finish our set and Jim comes over and sez do you want to join the Insiders. So now i’m going from playing once every 6 months to playing up to 4 times a week! I said yes! I was more about the 60’s garage and Brit invasion than I was the surf music.\u00a0 They said great be at Dynamic recording studios on Sunday and know these 5 British Invasion songs, All of which I already knew!<\/p>\n

We recorded the tracks and I was on my way! We played all the time and anywhere!<\/p>\n

I remember gigs at the Warehouse, Scorgies, Teasers, Calif. Brew House, RIT, and a bunch of places that I can’t remember the names of!!!\u00a0 We opened for The Divinyls at The Red Creek! That was really odd! We happened to play 2 Aussie garage covers and the drummer was hip to what we were up to! We played on TV twice!<\/p>\n

Once was the Morning Break Show live from Marketplace Mall! Once was on the Brian Bramm late night show<\/p>\n

We drew good crowds, We got paid well! It’s really odd to go from the $10 each guy gigs to the $50 to $100 a guy gigs!<\/p>\n

There’s one crazy story. We had a gig in Fancher NY. The guy who booked the show already owed the band money from a show before. We loaded up the van and head to Fancher. When we get there ex-Insider drummer Dave Disperdio band was playing ( Witch King ?).\u00a0 Something goes down and we end up taking all the money they had collected at the door and left! It was only $50.00 We each got $10 & we never played!<\/p>\n

We kinda killed the band and broke up. I found The Projectiles Ad at The Record Archives and auditioned and was in! But that’s another story for another day!!!<\/p>\n
