Comments
rocksteady beibee..i dont remember the name,,,blue dress...and rocksteady??
Early 1980's this was the band to see in SF. Where ever they played the amount of folks there to see them was amazing. Cool fact about them, they played non stop until their break. You were a sweating fool by the end of each set.
Best party band ever!
I remember them well from early 80s. Killer band. Yes, by the end of the night, you were exhausted from dancing non stop.
Greatest band out of SF ever.
