UNDER APPRECIATED ROCK BAND OF THE MONTH FOR MARCH 2016: THE LOVEMASTERS
It didn’t register right away, but eventually I noticed that Presidential candidate Donald Trump had the Twisted Sister song “We’re Not Gonna Take It” playing at a lot of his early rallies. Lead singer and songwriter Dee Snider personally gave Trump permission to use the song. I have written of their music video for this song before, featuring Animal House star Mark Metcalf and several lines of dialogue from the movie also. (Even the song has some of the dialogue in it).
There was a follow-up song from Twisted Sister that is not so well known. “I Wanna Rock” also had Mark Metcalf in the . . .

The Under Appreciated Rock Band of the Month for March 2016 is THE LOVEMASTERS, a hard-rocking punk/funk/soul band that hung around on the fringes of the Detroit music scene for about 25 years. The “Story of the Month” this time is an appreciation I wrote a few years back on Pat Boone – yes, you heard me right. You can skip to the end of the post for that item if you want. I also talk about other fun bands over the years: ZZ Top, Deee-Lite, Katrina and the Waves, the B-52’s, etc. All can be found in my Notes:
