SUMMARY:The R&B Cadets
LOCATION:Shank Hall
DESCRIPTION:The Rs in 1980 and their last in the summer of 1986. In that ti
 me they got a lot of folks out on the dance floor\, playing a distinctive 
 mix of of deep soul cuts from Paul Cebars massive record collection and so
 me sparkling originals\, written by John Sieger\, often in tandem with Mic
 hael Feldman\, a friend and now longtime host of Public Radios Whadya Know
 ? Splitting lead duties with Sieger and Cebar was the lovely chanteuse\, R
 obin Pluer. Owner of one the lovelier voice heard in the midwest\, Ms. Plu
 er was a dollop of sweetness at the top of the bands deep range. Rounding 
 out the lineup was Mike Sieger\, Johns brother and vocal doppelganger\, wh
 o played bass. Original drummer Cy Costabile\, was later replaced by Bobby
  Schneider and the saxophonist Juli Wood was replaced by keyboard/sax man 
 Bob Jennings. In its prime\, the band had a large following in Milwaukee\,
  where they were pretty much the house band at the late\, lamented Century
  Hall. They travelled well too\, with fans in the Twin Cities\, Chicago\, 
 Madison and even New York where they played legendary clubs like CBGBs\, T
 he Knitting Factory and The Lone Star. Their only record\, Top Happy\, cam
 e out in 198-. It featured a song produced by Nick Lowe\, a fan who had st
 umbled across them after playing a show in Milwaukee. The record got great
  reviews and could have been the start of even bigger things\, but like ma
 ny bands\, people were pulling\, and being pulled\, in different direction
 s. The positive result of their breakup was two\, then three very vital an
 d entertaining acts. There was Semi-Twang\, which concentrated on Johns so
 ngs and did a record\, Salty Tears for Warner Brothers that gathered more 
 love than sales. John later moved to nashville and had many of his songs r
 ecorded by artist like Dwight Yoakam\, Flaco Jimenez and The Bodeans. Paul
  and Robin continued with the beefed up and ever-popular Milwaukeeans\, re
 leasing a record in the 1990s on Shenachie that got radio play around the 
 country. That lineup stayed around until Robin bid adieu. Tired of touring
  and now married\, she headed to New York for a while\, before returning. 
 She has carved out a special niche between soul\, swing\, standards and th
 e French chanson that she loves\, and is still performing today. In 2009 S
 emi-Twang reunited and have released two CDs\, both of which garnered rave
 s. Paul has continued non-stop\, his latest was out last year with his mos
 t recent moniker\, Tomorrow Sound. The three headed beast has been in rehe
 arsal\, tightening up songs old and new. The crowd at their first reunion 
 gig in many years was up and dancing at the first down beat\, you probably
  will be too.\n\nBoletos: https://www.ticketweb.com/event/the-rb-cadets-sh
