Hi!!   Welcome to our web page.  We're going to list and keep you abreast of what's going on with the BAND!!

     If you like "Classic Rock"  you've come to see the right Band!!!

     We've been together now since August of 2002.  We thought we'd throw an all Cop band together for some kicks!! 

     Band Members:

John McCall    - Drummer-  Lt. with the City of Erie Police Dept. John is in his mid 30's- children and wife Mary Lou are big supporters of the Band.  John's been drumming since he was a kid.  He's been in and out of bands throughout his playing years.

Rocky Kalivoda   - Bass player --and frustrated Comedian.   Rocky is in his early 40's.  The Rockster is a Captain with the Erie County Prison. Rocky's wife Michelle and three children keep the Rockster busy.  Rocky has been in many bands and has been playing since he was a young Rockster.

Billy Detisch  -Keyboards.   Bill is in his early 40's and is a Detective Cpl. in the Criminal Div. of the Millcreek Police Dept.  Bill has a wife Liz and three- almost grown son's that are also musicians.  The keyboard has been a hobby of Bill's for a few year's, and this is his first band.

Dave Parmeter    -Rythm Guitar.  Dave is the baby of the band in his early 30's.  He is a Patrol officer for the Millcreek Police Dept.  He has a wife Kristin and two young children.  Dave has been playing guitar since he was in College.  He was in a band a few years back and is the "star" player of the band.

Fred Munch    -Lead Guitar.  Fred is the "Old Man".  Yea- late 40's.  Fred is a Corporal in the Detective Div. of the Millcreek Police Dept.  Wife Cindy shakes her head- but is a huge supporter. Fred has three grown children.  One son serving with the 82nd Airborne in Iraq.  Fred played guitar as a teen and was in a few garage band's.  After a thirty yr. layoff decided to start playing again.  He's a bit rusty!!

J.R. Larsen  - Vocal's.  Early 40's.  J.R is the only non-cop, but we made him a "Special Deputy".  J.R. is a successful Electrician.  Hey!!  J.R. is the only "single" guy. No children.  Available???  This is J.R.'s first try at public singing- but he does a great job and is a favorite of all the Band members.  He takes the brunt of all of Rocky's jokes.

What's New? 
     Hey!!  Thanks to Jule Garder from the Times News for the nice article on Sat. Oct. 4th.  Nice job Jule!!  It is greatly appreciated.
     We've added some new equipment and are hoping it enhances our sound.  Dave's new Marshall Half Stack and Gibson SG has really added some great tone to the sound.  So-  we have twin Half stacks coming out of our guitars.  Verryyyyyyyy COOL!!!!!    Rocky bought a 2400 watt Power Amp to drive two 15" 400 watt speakers.  We're powering up now with over 3600 watt's.  NO!!!  Don't buy ear plugs.  We're going to use them when we play outdoors.  The whole system now really cranks!!!!!!!!!!!
 
 
      Also-  Ron Thomas owner of R&R Music at 26th and Cherry stopped by one of our practices-  he helped us ballance our sound system because of the new additions with the JBL's.  Ron is a very cool guy.  If you need any Fender products, or- anything electronic fixed-  he's the best guy in town to go see.  Thats R&R Music-  26th and Cherry..  THANKS RONNIE !!!!!
