Whatever happened to the fellas in Baton Rouge's own C'Vello?

Regardless of how you felt about the album they released, collectively there was a lot of talent in that band from a performance, production, musicianship standpoint. I did see where they were inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame - they're in some pretty good company there. My friends and I used to enjoy their live shows in the 90's - especially the tons of lovely ladies that seemed to follow them religiously

When grunge became popular they went the way of the dinosaur. Tracy is still a bad arse drummer but doesn’t play out.

One of the kids was the drummer for the Givers and is now in another band.
Those guys played at the Tiger a lot and they rocked it during sound check but played the dance music to make money. Very talented guys

God I hated them. There were at least a couple of instances where I paid cover to get into a club, found out they were playing and turned around and immediately left.
Wonder if Kevin ever got a toupee?

Ditto.

That's harsh
There weren't too many bands around at the time I recall playing much Depeche Mode, The Cure, INXS covers like them. They had a nice sound. Can't speak to how they were personally, but they filled a live niche for that genre of music. Posted on 1/21/21 at 10:58 pm to RockAndRollDetective

Same. It’s embarrassing that they made it into the La Music HOF, but I see where it was just a sub-category of regional artists. But I still don’t get it. Their flash in the pan regional spark just doesn’t compare with other artists in that same category like Henry Gray, Clutch, and Raful Neal. Those 3 earned it the right way and didn’t have to leave music fans to wonder whether they had to suck a dick to get inducted.

But truth. They were pretty cheesy even by mid 80's standards and they were early 90's. They were trying to pull this off a generous 7-10 years too late.

That was cringy and whoever managed them, I imagine, was probably late 40's who still longed for the prime Kingfish days.
You cant recover from trying to pull this off in their "prime."

There was definitely a heavy dose of cringe in that video and honestly throughout their album.
I vaguely recall many, many years ago having a chat with the bassist and a mutual friend at the time and he alluded that the demos they brought to the studio were basically gutted by the production team and the A&R guys. Truth or not, nobody really wanted light airy R&B tinged pop then - or now even.

That was according to the kids FB page, but the name shows up nowhere on The Givers wiki page

Never heard of them, Youtube'd it, and holy cow is that shite awful.
Posted on 1/25/21 at 6:11 am to Cdawg
Dear God! That’s awful. I played at Fred’s & Murphy’s in the early ‘90s and am stunned a band like that didn’t get their asses kicked in Red Stick. Jesus, They sounded like the Miami Sound Machine!
