Mike Randle & Rusty Squeezebox Live At 12 Bar Club London
I am super proud to present two amazing talents together on one stage playing music to live by. It is not just Mike Randle or just Rusty Squeezebox, it is them together playing songs to delight the fans in the UK’s most legendary club, 12 Bar Club. This is an incredible opportunity to see these two in their prime as they expanded out from their power pop rock group Baby Lemonade. It is no wonder these two became fast and furious friends as the two wind through over an hour on stage with songs that would become famous.
Who is Mike Randle
In his early teens, Randle started playing in rock bands and soon began songwriting. In 1984, he formed the new wave/synth-pop band Camera’s in Paris, which lasted through 1985. Then he formed Bad Press with Garfield Wolfe, Charlie Glover, and Keith Chaney. This eventually brought him into contact with Rusty Squeezebox who took over drums for Bad Press. The band did what was important which was to bring Randle and Squeezebox together to develop a longstanding friendship between the two. As 2000 approached, both Randle and Squeezebox decided to record solo albums to explore personal, sonic, and songwriting ground that didn’t seem to fall within the parameters of Baby Lemonade.
Who is Rusty Squeezebox
Born David Ramsey he had no musical training prior to buying a bass and forming the band Ach Nein. The band didn’t last much more than a year, but before their demise, Squeezebox took up guitar, which would eventually become his main instrument although he started to play drums too. Mike Randle then came into the picture and asked him to replace the drummer in his band, Bad Press. It was a partnership that would ultimately prove long-lasting and productive. Squeezebox’s stint in Bad Press lasted into 1988, after which he left the band to try out for the drum spot in Los Angeles’ ska-pop band the Untouchables who had already earned a modicum of success in the U.S. and U.K. with a number of college-radio hits. He joined the band in 1989 and played with them off and on through January 1999.
Rusty formed the band Treehouse in 1989 with brother Eric Ramsey and former Bad Press mate Garfield Wolfe. They changed their name to Voodoo Love which eventually broke up. Squeezebox again hooked up with Mike Randle and formed Baby Lemonade in 1992. Adding David Green and Henry Liu (later replaced by Dave Chapple). Baby Lemonade would spend the rest of the decade developing into one of the great rock bands on the Los Angeles underground scene.
