SRC [[Scot Richard Case) are reuniting for their first show in 40 years for a show at the Magic Bag on Saturday, June 25. It's Scott Richardson, Steve Lyman, Glenn Quackenbush, Gary Quackenbush and Ray Goodman. I never got to see them back in their heyday. Does anybody have any cool SRC stories?
This probably should be in the non Detroit category . I saw SRC many times in the late 60's at a teen club between Woodward and Old Woodward near Maple in downtown Birmingham . I don't believe they ever made it on a National level , only regionally popular probably because they didn't do many/if any original tunes but did alot of cover songs , Motown , Cream etc. One of their most popular tunes was '' I'm So Glad'' If you go see the show , don't be surprised if one of the Quackenbush brothers [[forgot which one plays the organ) gets that organ rocking back and forth , at times I feared he'd rock it so much he'd lose control of it and it would end up in the crowd lol
Why is that?Quote:

Since there will probably never be a FerndaleYES! forum, I have no problems with this post.
Yeah, this belongs here. Detroit psych-rock rules ...
Just trying to be helpful , my mistake
Detroit means three things, I figure.
* The city of Detroit
* Detroit-based automotive companies
* Metro Detroit
I figure they're all fair game.
Now, as to whether Ann Arborites want to be lumped in with any of this, I doubt it ... their loss. ;)
well, speaking of a2, my father in law owned a bar there. i found a website with posters of src playing at his bar.
Here is "I'm so Glad" studio version, some dude spins it on a turntable and records it. Sounds pretty good to my ears.

Also, SRC is mentioned frequently in "Grit Noise and Revolution" the book by David A Carson. I would highly recommend this book to DYes folks who are fans of this era.

Wasn't SRC's big single "Checkmate"?

Seemed for a while every time you turned around, they were playing somewhere. Northland, the skating ring at R.O. Kimball, R.O. Farmers Market. They were a great performance band, whose showstopper was "Hall Of The Mountain King/Bolero".

Sure would like to see them again.
Black Sheep was a standout track from their first album that was released as a single.

Saw them at the Northville Community Building. The Cavern. July 1967. Memorable night, my first ride in a police car as a "guest" of the department due to the post concert festivities. Myself and three others. The fourth, well, he did a Jessie Owens and sprinted. We caught up with him at the city limits after our "chauffeur" dropped us at the Novi city limits.
Mellowed out a lot since......
Is anyone going to see the reunion show?
I am going

Very cool website!
I am so bummed I can't make this show. I hope they do another. I saw a partial reunion without Scott Richardson at the Summer of Love fest in Wyandotte a few summers ago. This was my favorite local band when I was growing up. Wore out the grooves in all the lps and seen them numerous times. One show stands out at a high school where they played with Wilson Mower Pursuit. There was a psycedelic light show and between that and the acid and Src playing the Angel Song it was a great night.
"I don't believe they ever made it on a National level , only regionally popular probably because they didn't do many/if any original tunes but did alot of cover songs , Motown , Cream etc."
This is way wrong; they made 3 albums of mostly decent original tunes..
OK, so I know I'm only a couple of years late to this thread, but what the hell...
So did anybody attend this show? How was it? [[Sadly, I was actually in town, but was working that night).
I can still recall doing sound for SRC at The Cavern in Northville, along with a host of other local bands. The place was a wreck, but we had a great time!
