Lugano

Lugano(pronounced Loo-gah-noh) started as a two piece thrash/punk band in 1996 after Kevin stumbled upon a copy of the legendary "Left Back, Let Down" double 7". With brother Jeff on guitar and vocals and Kevin on drums, they played a few shows(mainly house parties) including an appearance on the Franklin Common! The band appeared on a CD compilation called Loco Diablo Volume 4. From there they acquired Matt Burt(of Thumbs Up! fame...Matt, if you by chance stumble onto this page get in touch!) to play bass/backing vocals on Jeff's songs and guitar/lead vocals on his own songs. They eventually went back into the studio as a three piece and recorded 5 songs. One for the Loco Diablo Volume 6 comp. CD and 4 for the "Wicked Mint!" CD EP. The band played their last show in September 2000 i think. They opened for The River City Rebels, Darkbuster and Punching Judy in Framingham Massachusetts.
