Man In The Glass - The Underdogs

In 1965, the Underdogs cut Hideout's first single, "Man In The Glass," a song based on an Alcoholics Anonymous poem. The flip side was "Judy Be Mine" aka "Friday At The Hideout," which the Romantics redid. "Man in the Glass" made enough noise locally for Hideout to ink a master deal with Reprise Records for mass distribution. Members are Dave Whitehouse (vocals/bass), Tony Roumell (lead guitar/vocals), Chris Lena (rhythm guitar/vocals), and Michael Morgan (drums/vocals).

There were a few of us from Center Line St. Clement who would be in the back corcer that we called "Clements Corner". We never told our girlfriends we were going there(& they really wanted to go) cuz we could meet girls from other schools. Notre Dame High dances were a great place to go too. But the bands at the Hideout were better. Remember this? If you were "Sosh" or "Frat" you went to the Hideout and if you were "Grease" you went to the "Chatterbox".

I used to sneak out of the house to go to the Hideout. The Underdogs were great but I also remember The Strawberry Alarm Clock, and many others. We (LHS) could be found in the back right hand side every Friday.

There is an exclusive interview with Underdogs lead guitarist Tony Roumell on Blitz Magazine's web site!

Weird thing -- I never went to the Hideout though I was a musician in Grosse Pointe in the mid to late 60's. Saw so many, many bands -- and have this 45 by the Underdogs -- but never saw them live. My loss!

Wow - brings back vivid memories.. Used to go the hideout every friday night - can't ever replace those times - had the whole world in front of us. Fomer LHS graduate, class of 1968. Would be nice to hear from old friends.

All of us in St. Clair Shores (Class of 1967 LHS!) are STILL talking about the Hideout, the Underdogs and the 'good old daze'! Thanks, guys, for such great memories!

The Underdogs played at my 8th grade graduation dance at St. Joan of Arc grade school. It was great - I'll never forget it.

I went to GP High with your dad and the other guys. I was sad to hear that Mike Morgan had died. My name is Jim. I was in a group called US back in the GP days. I lived near the Hideout.
