The Cultivators (1980)  Updated 08/08/09 Original Members: Dave Shoudy '80: guitar, vocals Bryan Mealy '79: bass, vocals Steve Ussery '83: drums Although this band practiced quite a lot, they only played once actual gig. Strangely enough, as low-end as the band was, they actually had a full-time soundman/roadie named Lee Adams. The Cultivators practiced primarily at David Shoudy's home in a garage that had been somewhat soundproofed. They also practiced in the Coronado HS auditorium as they were getting in trouble for making too much noise at David Shoudy's home. Some practices, as well as other musical type of gatherings and such, were held at the home of Steve Ussery or garage at Lee's. The members of the band came up with the band's name at one of these gatherings. The band split up when Bryan joined "36T". Steve Ussery went onto "Axis" while David Shoudy joined a San Diego band called "Tryax". The Cultivators on CHS Patio featuring Dave Shoudy, frontman.

Sound Engineer, Lee Adams, works the famous Cultivator box designed by John Kelley Brown. The box consists of a Tapco 6 channel with spring reverb, two 100 watts amps from a huge pair of powered Altecs, and a fan. Portables were scarce back then, so, they had one made; price tag $400. Shoudy and Mealy split the bill. 4th of July: Mealy,Ussery, Carolyn (a friend), Shoudy, and Dwayne (thought he could sing). Aboard the Shoudy Torino Bandwagon: Shoudy, Ussery, Mealy with Dave Shoudy's sister Sue. You can't take the same picture of Bryan more than once or this might happen.
