Lowdown went from 1973 to 1978.  We were on the road nearly all year.  When we were in town we played Pier 70 and the Medieval Cellar.  In our early years we played the Back Forty Tavern , the Quarterdeck, Jimmy Yees, and noonies for KYAC radio.  We covered Tower of Power; Earth, Wind and Fire; Commodores, lots of disco crap (tastefully) and any funky tunes with horns (Parliment, etc.).  There were lots of photos in the Tacoma News Tribune.  We did a gig at Cheney Stadium for KTAC in '75 or 76.
