Tom Collins and the Cocktail Shakers - Pick It Up (1992)
Tom Collins was formed in the fall of 1991 by Gerry
LaFemina and Matt Mullins, two mfa students at WMU. As far as we know
they were Kalamazoo's first and only ska fusion band. At its height the
band contained 10 members: Gerry (vox), Matt (guitars) Levi Strickland
(bass), AA Miller (drums), Megan Coats (keyboard), Kelly Argyle
(baritone sax) Jon Laviari (tenor sax), Paul Dorich (alto sax), Dave
Marlatt, (trombone) and Jeff Sarnacki (trombone). They regularly played
Club Soda, Harvey's, local festivals and various clubs throughout
Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin. In late 1991 they put out
their first recording, a 45 with the songs "Chaplinesque" and "Animated
Violence" recorded at Brown and Brown studios. This was shortly followed
by their full length cassette release "Pick it Up" also recorded at
Brown and Brown. The band was known for its high energy shows and
played with a number of Ska legends including, Bad Manners and The
Toasters. The band broke up in 1994. Members have since gone on to
play in many well known local bands including, Schrodinger's Cat, Tao
Jones, The Large Hungarians, Blue Dahlia, Whiskey Before Breakfast and
Yoroka.
