The original members in this video are Richie Ranno (guitar), Michael Lee Smith (vocals), and Joe X. Dube (drums). Bobby Messano (guitar closest to the camera) is quasi-original as he played on Coliseum Rock (the 4th album). Brendan Harkin (who played on the first 3 albums) did play some reunion gigs in 2003, 2004, and 2005. Pieter Sweval (bass) passed away in 1990 and George DiAna now plays bass for the band.

Amazon has the CDs, or you can download individual tracks of some albums on iTunes and CDBaby. The band manages to play once a year or so and still sound great!

OMG!
I wore out this 8 track, bought another. In the early 80's, I had a local record store special order this on vinyl. Heck, I'd probably buy the CD now......
Shocked to see this dated 2007, but then again, the Guess Who is playing in town tonight.
Almost 50, too. :)

Discovered these guys in 1976 in Mi.Armed with their first 2 albums(Starz/Violation)I joined the Navy and headed south to Mayport,Fl.My shipmates loved the albums so when Coliseum Rock came out,of course,I bought it.A guy from Philly told my later that the title song was the greatest rock song he ever heard.I love being the Typhoid Mary of straightup RnR.You just wonder how other bands w/less chops,got so big,when our beloved Starz were forgotten.I'll be that 50 yr old dude w/a Starz shirt on

How many original members are still in the band? Didn't one of them die a few years back?
