, married with 4 kids, wife of many years Debbie. Guitarist and songwriter. Previous bands, NORTH STAR, TYMES and founding member of ASB .

Mike has promised to dedicate the rest of his life to learning the names of the Chords he uses, and to learn how to click on the "spell check" Icon


Mike's Second Band, " Birth Control" . That him with the White Shoes, standing next to Brother Rob. Wasn't Matt quite the Hippie Then? (5th from Left)


STEVE “BAM -BAM” URBON
Steve is a devoted Father of 3 children, Drummer, Percussionist and Prolific Songwriter.
Founding member of ASB. Steve is SINGLE and took early RETIREMENT after selling used ticket stubs from various Spinal Tap Concerts on EBAY.

Steve resides and owns (2) Bait n Tackle shops in Florida called Worms R US and frequently flies back to ASB concerts in his 1943 F4U Corsair plane.

Marketing Guru and the master with words. Steve has always been the Thinker behind ASB, as one week he is in and one week he is out, but you know percussionist with all that pounding going on something has to be loose somewhere. Steve's favorite House Wine at Mike's Place is Jagermeister.
 

 


MATT MOORE
Father of 3 children, wife and dedicated fan named Louise. Lead Vocalist, and songwriter, Strong Gospel influence.

Joined the ASB lineup in 1999 and lead vocalist on the hit local Charity CD "Still Alive and Kicking" released in Portage County in 2000.

Matt is ASB vocal coach as he pulls his hair out trying to teach Mike how to sing. Rumor is that Matt has received cash contributions from fellow band members if he promises to stop helping Mike.

During the day Matt can be found working at Kent State coaching the students of today, go get em Matt!


FRED FRANKS
(THE MASTER OF DISASTER and FRELVIS)-Owner of the Akron Auto Clinic- Married to wife Marietta, father of 4 and grandfather. Keyboardist and songwriter. Former bands were Euphemized Lounge acts of the 80's, known for his road trip to Greenland to entertain the troops, shipped home after the desertion rate increased at that base.

Fred joined the ASB line up in 2000. Fred has a strong voice and songwriting capabilities while he ply's his trade while sucking down massive amounts of WHOLE WINGS and Lite Brews. His hobby is triggering the Drum machine on his keyboard in the middle of a song, just to see if we're listening.


ROCKING RICKY DeMIGLIO (RD)
Engineer, father of 3 and the Master on Electric Atomic Lead guitar, and sound Guru. Married to former runway model and spelling bee champ Sue. Know professionally for his famous song in Council Bluff ,Iowa "MINI VAN."

-Side note- RICK HAS Also BECOME KNOWN FOR HIS STRONG almost cult like FAN CLUB FOLLOWING CALLED THE "AUNT Betty's," originally a WADSWORTH, Ohio CHAPTER, A BIT ECCENTRIC group of elder ladies with red hats, but never the less overly active as they spread the word of RD and ASB.


*Doug Matthews
Knight of the Mike's Place Round table- "The Young One"-Eccentric bassist who takes up the slack for the elder guys. Unique Vocal ability, energy and he still has hair. Retired Mike's Place slave and manager.

Devoted fan of Neil Diamond, and yes Dougy does Diamond so good Neil would be amazed. Watch the stage as Doug fends off the rush of women that come up to the stage just to get a touch of the Doug Meister.


Frank Horvath, ASB's newest recruit, yes he did pulled the shortest straw. Frank, The Man, The Myth, and to some only a legend, has come out of retirement to join the band. Those of you old enough to remember the Big Apple, probably remember Frank in his black spandex, tank top, and flowing white wig, beating the drums to all those crazed folks on the hunt for passion. It has long been rumored and now just a legend that Franks beats, drove the women crazy with desire, as the men could only hold on to their Disco era, Travolta suits and pray that they left with the clothes on their back, after beating back the relentless assaults of Women Gone Wild!

Frank, now older and wiser, is the owner of the number 1 Highland Square bar called Franks Place, stop by and say, Dude, I remember you, and where are you beating your magic drums next? Women BEWARE, Franks Magic Mojo is brewing again, you have been warned!

 


BARBIE
THEY HAVE ALWAYS SAID WE NEED A GIRL TO COMPLIMENT THE BAND, OH WELL

WE ARE PICKY AND IT'S SO HARD TO FIND THE PERFECT WOMAN.


WE HAVE SUCCEEDED, MEET THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE BAND.
