Throughout the ‘70’s, perhaps there was no hotter band in Toledo than Locoweed. An “L.A. Cowboy Rock Outfit,” the band was inspired by the country-rock sounds permeating from the Wild West Coast, from the likes of the Flying Burrito Brothers, The Byrds and New Riders of the Purple Sage. Achieving a substantial amount of regional success, the group toured the same circuit as Cheap Trick and REO Speedwagon, though, managed to work their way to such exotic places as Alaska and Idaho. Though the band played its last official show on Thanksgiving in 1981, the various members have continued to reunite over the years. Speaking of members, you might recognize a few of the Locoweed alumni as some of Toledo’s favorite players today, such as Randy Monk of MAS FiNA, Dave Athanas of Voodoo Libido, Ricky Gerbeck of the Blues Connoisseurs, Tom Galvin, and Dave Cubbage (later of Wheatfield).
