RM: San Francisco's only rock band, LaRue was a three-man, singer-songwriter team composed of Bob Banks (vocals / words), Robert Moselle (keyboards), and Danny Sego (guitar).LaRue: a singer-songwriter trio backed by numerous talented and often legendary local musicians during the band's trail-blazing history. Smug? Yes. Arrogant? Yes. Know all the words to In Held 'Twas in I? Yes. Kick your f*ckin' ass? Affirmative. Backing up LaRue on this audience-bootleg recording, of their 16 May 1977 concert at San Francisco's Mabuhay Gardens nightclub, were Brad Wilson (lead guitar), Mark McNulty (drums) and 'The Monster' George 'Guts' Gearhardt (bass), a massive 6'6" Budweiser-drinking, blue- collar, lunch-pail bassist whose onstage persona struck fear into the audience. Sandwiched in between the days of disco and punk, LaRue was very well-known throughout the Northern California area. You simply needed to look out the window while driving through San Francisco to see the graffito, 'LaRue Rocks', painted on many a wall, or turn on KSAN where the band might be chatting with the DJs and where LaRue's first single, Clowns, rocked the Bay Area's airwaves. |
