SRC Reunion at the Magic Bag

**Wilfrid** · June-14-11, 09:12 AM

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?

**Wingnatic** · June-14-11, 04:33 PM

Because the show is in Ferndale and not specifically about Detroit ?

**Ed Golick** · June-14-11, 04:37 PM

Since there will probably never be a FerndaleYES! forum, I have no problems with this post.

Yeah, this belongs here. Detroit psych-rock rules ...

**Wingnatic** · June-14-11, 04:50 PM

Just trying to be helpful , my mistake

**Detroitnerd** · June-14-11, 04:55 PM

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.

**detroittrader** · June-14-11, 07:45 PM

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......

**Wilfrid** · June-21-11, 10:20 AM

Is anyone going to see the reunion show?

**eno** · June-21-11, 03:28 PM

I am going

Very cool website!

**Downriviera** · June-21-11, 08:38 PM

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..

**sdsmith** · June-19-13, 12:33 AM

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!

They did another show at the Bag after the first one. Sadly I missed that one too.

**Whaler** · June-20-13, 10:32 AM

I saw the first Show...The Band was outstanding..Scott's voice not so hot...About half the place emptied before it was over....too Bad in their prime they were one of the best...Whaler
