The Flavours formed late in 2002 and began performing in January 2003.
The main focus of the song list centers around Top 40 rock and dance music from the 70s and 80s, with a scope that reaches from the 60s to the present. We play plenty of standard crowd pleasers but also bring in alternative hit songs to keep our song list refreshing. A frequent compliment the band receives is I love y'all's song list!
Dave Hineman, one of Buddy Magazine's Texas Tornados of Guitar of 2001, has been a favorite sideman for many Dallas bands, including Solinger and Tres Hombres. The Flavours band brings Dave to the front vocally and also highlights his talents on guitar. Dave is also fortunate enough to perform with the bands Dream On, Metal Shop, Suburban Legend and "Comes Alive!" - a Peter Frampton tribute act.
Barbara Jean comes from Floridas Palm Beach club scene. Before co-founding The Flavours, she became known in the Mid-cities as the lead singer of Crush. Her soft vocal style might remind you of Chrissy Hynde of The Pretenders. She handles the keyboard work for the band, as well.
Drummer Breck Shisler was Dave's first drummer when they were in 5th grade. According to Dave, "He is like the Peter Criss to my Ace Frehley; the Keith Moon to my Townshend." Breck also played drums with Decline and local original band Aerial before becoming a full-time Flavour.
On Bass... Bob "Big and Tasty" Prince. Noted bass man for Quazi and the Motos, as well as many others, Bob's extensive experience and attention to the groove keeps the low end big and full all night long, which is how we like it!
Dave White ..boards and vocals. His resume includes bands Mannekin, Warrant and many others. He brings great energy and presence to the band, as well. He's also the "Bob Mayo" for Comes Alive and can be found supporting many Dallas area bands.
There are few things in life as joyous as a well-meshed musical team.
As the joy flows from The Flavours stage all night long - you realize it's not only what they play, it's how they play it for you!
I want to thank you sooo much for the wonderful show and tribute on Sunday, for my husband, Biker Bob Giles. You were one of his favorite bands. I love the Flavours and will be seeing you on Sat at the pig. thank you from the bottom of my heart.
