Jack Rootoo was the guitarist. He died a couple of years ago from cancer. They were one of the best live acts in the 80's. They always opened up with Hawaii 5-0.

Lou was a brilliant performer and his band was great - really hip material, what happened to their great guitarist???

Thanks for posting. I never saw this back in the day.

Used to see Lou on Monday nights at Cantones.

A true original and always a great band. I shot a video demo

for them once and put together a few bands with ex-Kozmetix Kip Korea (bass) and Bob MacKenzie (Drums)

Lou passed away back in 1995. I used to hang at the Living Room back in my college days. It's hard to believe that it was close to 30 years ago.

Never missed a show at the Living Room in Providence - one of my all time favorite local bands. How long ago did Lou die?

I also haven't seen this video in years. It was made by a friend of mine and I am the dead body in it. Didn't know til now that Lou was dead . . .

I miss those days, they were so fun. I liked Christmas and the Volcano Suns, Prescott is so brilliant.
