Local Bands on Display

Old Display at the Blasco Memorial Library by Debbi Lyon.

Local Bands on Display

Several months back I gathered up a bunch of records, articles and pictures of Erie bands. The display was up for about a month at the Blasco Memorial Library and I thought I would share part of the collection here. So, here we have it...photos of X-It (featuring Pat Monahan, now of Train), Mars, Brother's Keeper, the Peens, the Arkay IV, Satin Steel, Dirty Looks, Prophecy, Red, White & Blueberry, Marty Lee with Donnie Iris, the Stabilizers, Pistol Whip and the Pulse.

  1. Brings back memories. I went to school and then later worked with Dave Massello of the Arkay IV. I still have their LP.
