The old gang

Slowly but surely people keep finding this blog which is pretty gratifying. Every few months another old Tracterz fan shows up and a few days ago we had a comment from Dave Fee (somewhere way down on one of the older posts) which makes 3/5 of the last incarnation of the band, since Steve and Brad have both been in contact, too. A couple more and we can start advocating for a reunion show!

I was going through an old photo album and found some pictures from college of me and Dallas Dykehouse. So I tried Googling the band and found this blog! Awesome. Any plans to go on Facebook with a fan page?

I spend a fair amount of time on Facebook and I'm embarrassed to admit that the thought had not occurred to me yet! I think I will have to put one together, thanks.

The post from "Dave Fee" was actually from David Fee III--my 12-year-old son. He's a chip off the old block. He's already got his own tigerskin chaps!

Jambo said...

But does he have his own 8 string bass?

And wrestling shoes? Does he has wrestling shoes? (Cute kids, Jr.) Srsly.

Has anyone heard from Lynn in recent years? I'm a good friend from Minneapolis. Thanks, Mark.

So the old Tracterz fans find this site one by one...funny. Last night I was in downtown Sioux Falls last night and saw Steve playing with someone outside on Phillips totally by accident. I about jumped out of my skin....but I was not with anyone that were part of my regular Tracterz crew!!!! I'm back in the Cities tonight and googled Tracterz and here I am throwing in my two cents. Every night was such a great night going to see the Tracterz and hanging out after. I was at State and our pack even followed them to a gig in, I think...Windom. They were so happy to see us there and knew they would have some dancers! In hind site, I think we scared the crap out of the locals....haha

I went to University of South Dakota with a Dallas (or Dalyce) Dykehouse and played in a few clubs with her back then. Is this the same Person. My name is Frank Cohen and I would love to catch up and say hello. My email is frank@frankcohen.com

Summer of 84 I live at my folks cabin up at Lewis and Clark Lake - never missed you at the Lazy D. Maybe a few other locals back then too. Too many great memories. Thanks so much - Total audiophile music nut - I wonder where I'd be if it weren't for the music you turned me on to. Peace / Love - Some old dude that was a punk ass mf back in the day....

I remember seeing the Tracterz in Hartington and Bow Valley, loved them!

Miss My Mullet said...

I along with a lot of friend were fortunate to have caught more than a handful of Tracterz shows at the Lazy D back in the day. The D is long gone, but there are still a bunch of Tracterz fans around locally and as far as the Twin Cities and St.Louis that would flock in for a Tracterz reunion show or two. What would it take?

Jambo, big news! We hope to get the band back together for one big weekend! In Arnolds Park, Iowa Labor Day weekend 2023! Save the date?
