Ricky's sister Cyndi played bass on keyboard normally, but would occassionally strap on. It's fun to watch here in these vids as he concentrates at the keyboard even as she vamps.

These were UGA prodigies in a campy gay party band powered by a literally deadly secret agent guitar sound. Guitar genius Ricky Wilson with his modded 3-string bass lead guitar created the grunge sound 20 years early, became the first famous person to die of AIDS, passing the guitar to the drummer who kept up.
Thanks to the GaTech videographers who knew there was history to record here, on the eve of their blastoff into the stratosphere.

hey, i appreciate your comment. but, change is good. i was fortunate enough to meet the band backstage and they are original and dedicated. maybe the new stuff isn't appealing. that's okay. but if you luv'm, love them for what they gave you...at one time or another.
peace

What I love about this band is none of the women, Kate or Cindy ever let their ego get carried away with them and go the "solo" route which seems to be a requirement today with bands who have female singers. They never let themselves become corporate product, although I must admit when they made their comeback after Ricky died it was pretty disappointing. Love shack was just completely overproduced corporate shiet. They dumped their rawness, spontaneous excitement to "Sell records man"
