Re: Greatest SMU band ever?Skastafarians. The band was made up of SMU students and actually won a talent contest to appear on Conan O'Brien. Unfortunately for them, they came about before the big ska craze of the 90s.

They were there while I was there. Derail the Frogs!
Re: Greatest SMU band ever?
Yep. The bass player and I attended HS together and the trumpet player was one of my best friends from elementary school. They just peaked before they all went their separate ways. I think the bass player is the only one who is still in the Dallas area.

Re: Greatest SMU band ever?Wasn't there a former QB who was doing some rapping? Chris Philips perhaps.

Re: Greatest SMU band ever?
This group consisted of all SMU music majors, somewhat of a rock/jazz pre-fusion mix, & was pretty busy during the 1971-1972 years. Played mostly original material, composed & performed all the music in the Theatre Dept. production called "Abraham & Isaac" at the Margo Jones Theatre in 1971; gave free concerts in the Bob Hope Theatre and the Grand Ballroom, performed at the American College Jazz Festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC in May of 1972 representing SMU. We spent 2 months of that summer in NYC recording a spec demo at Electric Lady Studios, where we rubbed elbows with MIles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Jeff Beck, Led Zeppelin, Stephen Stills, Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, Gene Klein & Stan Eisen (founding members of KISS). I was not yet 21, but what an experience. The mixing console we recorded through at Electric Lady is now a museum display piece at the Experience Music Project in Seattle.

Re: Greatest SMU band ever?
That is cool. Did not know that.
Re: Greatest SMU band ever?What about the Levee Singers (I think). SMU football Ed Burnette. They were big in the sixties if I remember correctly. I think the Levee was a folk venue on Mockingbird somewhere also in the sixties.
They played homecoming tent this year on the BLVD to all the old timers. An atheist is a guy who watches a Notre Dame-SMU football game and
doesn't care who wins. -- Dwight D. Eisenhower
Re: Greatest SMU band ever?
About a half block east of Campisi's as I recall. SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
Re: Greatest SMU band ever?
If you want to go a little older with Ed Bernet, there was also the Cell Block Seven which Ed and his brother [deleted] were members with along with the late Tommy Loy, who played the national anthem at SB V and at the Cowboys games for over 20 years.
Re: Greatest SMU band ever?Don't forget the Soul Society, a great band with lots of brass players from the Mustang Band and Rusty Brutsche on bass. They played at Soul City on Greenville Avenue in the early 70's as I recall.
