Bryan Mealy '79: bass, vocals
Steve Ussery '83: drums


A year later:

John Lewis '78 replaces Bryan on bass

 This band did primarily hard-rock music including a lot of Led Zeppelin. The band played local parties including several in Alpine. The band also played at the Coronado HS Hi Jinx (the drummer was still in high school at the time). They practiced primarily at Steve Ussery's home but also practiced a few times in a cabin in Descanso. This band ended when Bryan left to join "Kehl and the Ratners".

Brothers, Steve and Kelley, are still musically inseparable.

Christmas 1981: Girls love Kelley, and Kelley loves to play twister with Dave Shoudy's sister: Susan Shoudy, Kelley and Nisha.
