notes

TOMMY INGHAM - LEAD VOCALS

In 1983 I joined up with Detroit’s eastside wonder EZRA and started paying dues in the clubs. A little green but with the heart of a lion I joined forces with WEAPONS in 1985. We had two studio releases, Captive Audience and Second Thoughts along with a live show recorded at the MARQUEE CLUB in LONDON, ENGLAND. In 1988 After a Brief stint with L.A Band RACER X I returned to Detroit to front the band ROMEO ROCK. Winning Yamahas International Sound check competition for best unsigned vocalist for two consecutive years, I was also featured on the cover of Gig Magazine in December of 1989.

In 1993 I put together PLOW. This was a group with a little darker edge to it. After spending time in Germany the band came back to release the CD Jake in 1995. I’ve worked with many other groups since then and have spent time writing and recording for artists including ROB TYNER (MC5 fame), SEBASTIAN BACH (Skid Row), and JOHNNY “Bee” BADANJEK (The Rockets, Romantics).

This reformation of the GAYDOS, INGHAM, BANKERT team, along with the infamous GUNNER ROSS, has proved to be nothing less than stellar. I am truly in awe of the talent that these boys have to share and consider it an honor to be part of the group again

JOEY GAYDOS - GUITAR,VOCALS

For me, it all started after 1973 when I formed a band called MUGSY. Although MUGSY would prove to be a great live act, we only managed to release a single 45. In 1980 MUGSY evolved into an eventful outing know as CUB KODA and the POINTS. That lasted 2 years and we spit out 1 album, “CUB KODA and the POINTS“, and an EP called “SHAKE YO' CAKES“. Before Cub’s passing we re-united for one last time in 2000 and released “NOISE MONKEYS“.

In 1982 MUGSY reformed and by 1985 had turned into yet another incarnation called WEAPONS. WEAPONS released two albums, “CAPTIVE AUDIENCE” and “SECOND THOUGHTS“. I formed AZ.U.R (pronounced: as-you-are) late in the eighties and we put out my favorite CD, “ROCK LIKE PIGZ“. Simultaneously I recorded a CD with ROB TYNER (lead singer-MC5) called “BLOOD BROTHERS“. I then took an off ramp into blues-ville and released a self titled CD called GUITAR JOEY and the BEST .In 2002 I had the pleasure of recording some solo guitar tracks for a great local singer/songwriter NICK PIUNTI, who was releasing his debut CD. In 2005, NICK, drummer DONN DENISTON, bassist PETE BANKERT, and myself formed THE RESPECTABLES, and released our self titled CD.

After an endless stream of clubs, concerts, national and international tours, 2006 found me working with some of my past peers, namely GUNNER ROSS from THE ALMIGHTY STRUT, TOMMY INGHAM, from WEAPONS, and PETE BANKERT, from MUGSY, now collectively know as SEND MORE COPS.

GUNNER ROSS - DRUMS, VOCALS

I First gained national recognition in the late 70’s with the Detroit based band THE ALMIGHTY STRUT. Our single “CHEAP THRILL LOOKS” became a regional hit and gained us featured interviews in CREAM, CIRCUS, and PENTHOUSE magazines. ROLLING STONE named me one of the top 40 drummers in the world.

In 1986 I hooked up with RICKY MEDLOCKE and for the next 3 years became the drummer for BLACKFOOT, During this period we toured the world and released what would be BLACKFOOT’S last album, “MEDICINE MAN” .

From 1989 thru 1997 I toured and recorded with the Motor City’s guitar icon, TED NUGENT. My drumming was featured on the single “FRED BEAR” which became Ted’s biggest selling record to date. During this period I also recorded “THE SPIRIT OF THE WILD” CD.

PETE BANKERT - BASS

Look at Joe’s bio, I was in 90% of all those bands! Ok, all seriousness aside, for those of you who have gotten this far, here’s some other fun facts you may or may not know.

I recorded and played bass on the CD “LAST GREAT RIDE” by DARK CARNIVAL, which was released on the “SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY” label and featured guitarist RON ASHETON of IGGY and the STOOGES fame.

I also appear on the IN YOUR HONOR “DVD“, by the FOO FIGHTERS. I have owned and operated several recording studios in Michigan, and recently recorded 2 songs for the new FOGHAT release, ”FOGHAT LIVE II” at my current location, ROCK CITY STUDIO, in Ann Arbor, Mi.

  • Real Talent is finally back in rock music
    author: ChillerMagilla

    Saw these guys live w/Puddle Of Mudd and i was blown away... not so much of a surprise that they were great but the fact that live they even sound more incredible than the Cd. It usually works the other way around for most bands. I have been playing the cd on the way to work and again on the way home. I cant get enough of it. The only thing i would suggest is that they do a live cd soon.

  • True meaning of Rock N Roll!

    These guys have created something special. Joe"s guitar playing is second to none, Tommy sings from his soul, and Pete and Gunner bring it all together perfectly. You walked away, anxiety, I'm sorry, comatose, send more cops, gimme gimme, evil, theres no song on here that isn't infectious. These guys rock as hard as any with character ,soul, and texture that so many "popular" bands lack. Awesome band, awesome album 5 STARS*****
