B. A brief history of SKOGIE AND THE FLAMING PACHUCOS :

In the spring of 1970, Rick Moore (then of an original rock group called AN ENGLISH SKY) formed a group with Mark Goldstein, Dick Rogers and Hans Gasterland (then of the heavy acid-rock group called EUPHORIA) and decided on the name SKOGIE AND THE FLAMING PACHUCOS, with intentions of building a repertoire of original songs to record and perform.

During the following summer they ran through a number of problems and additional members: Randy Swanson . Mark Winger, Westy Loegering , Marc Partridge, Bob Guberud and Mike Milner, (including at one time, a HORN SECTION). having run through their list of available musicians, they advertised in October, 1970 for a BASS PLAYER and were instantly rewarded by accepting the very first applicant, Gregg "YO" Kubera.

Says SKOGIE, "'Yo' fit perfectly into our puzzle and made the picture complete. We've improved many times over since he joined." They have all become bosom buddies.

This brings us to the present...

SKOGIE AND THE FLAMING PACHUCOS are currently the house band at the Coffeehouse EXTEMPORÉ in February and March (1971). The EXTEMPORÉ is located at 325 Cedar Avenue. (The corner of Cedar and Riverside Avenue on the WEST BANK)
