About me: The Suspects were a late-70s Davis, California college band featuring: Steve Wynn, Kendra Smith, Russ Tolman, Gavin Blair & Steve Suchil. Talking Loud (1979) is their only single. After they broke up, Steve and Kendra formed The Dream Syndicate in LA; Russ and Gavin formed True West in Davis.
This tribute page was created because The Suspects were an essential part of the Davis, California 80s music scene documented on www.davis80smusic.com.
Who I'd like to meet: People interested in bands that started in the late-70's early-80s Davis, California music scene, or interested in the Paisley Underground, or in any of the above mentioned bands - and especially people who have photographs, flyers, posters, stories etc they would like to share here or at www.davis80smusic.com
Holiday Greetings. I will be returning to my college radio alma mater KDVS on Thursday night 12/13, circa 6pm to hang with Ryan Todd on his California Police State show. I will be bringing my guitar and Ryan and I will be discussing everything True West and the halcyon days of KDVS ('76-'86). I will be doing a few songs from my seven (gosh!) albums, as well as spinning a few discs.
Join us won't you? Streaming at http://www.kdvs.org/listen/ and YES, it's still available on the radio at 90.3FM (now at a blistering 9,200 watts).
