Hot n Nasty was the house band at a tavern in Milton. In addition, they played quite a bit at the dance clubs out on Pacific Highway and did regular gigs at O'Brien's downtown. The band was a full Chicago look-alike group, and mostly did covers of the various horn bands like Chicago, Tower of Power, etc. Gary Toporke took over as sound tech.Vance Kirklin, November 2002
I was the original Sax player for these two bands (Hot n Nasy and Peaceable Lane). Peaceable Lane was before Hot and Nasty and then Hot and Nasty changed back to Peaceable Lane.Greg (Boots) Buhre, December 2002
I was the manager of Hot n Nasty back in the 70's. Peaceable Lane was before Hot n Nasty. Frank Ani came to me and we formed the band after Peaceable Lane was still playing. Hot n Nasty played its first gig at Sid's Tavern in Ocean Shores, WA. From there they played at Little Jim's pub in North Tacoma. The band was the house band at Baldy's Tavern in Milton, WA for a solid six months. They then the went onto play at my family's restaurant for another six-month gig. After that the band played around town before they broke up and went their separate ways.Marc Strong was the first drummer hired. Unfortunately Marc passed away shortly after the bands first job. The first lead guitar player John Scholer.
Looking over old papers I have Hot N Nasty played together at least up to 1974. I have been out of touch with my musical friends for a long time its great to have located this web site. I am already spending long hours looking at a lot of great memories.
