Just Say No

about

http://www.zoomgraphics.com/music/justsayno/index.html Randal Huiskens was living in East Lansing, MI when he joined Just Say No in the fall of 1988. Steve Miller, the founder/guitarist of the band had asked him to join some months earler while at a Blunt Objects show, and when the Blunt Objects dissolved, the offer was again made. This time Randal joined, and immediately found himself in one of the hardest working bands he had ever been in. In the 2 years Randal was in the band, they produced 4 records, did two long-distance tours, and played hundreds of shows all over the Mid-West with several East Coast "long weekend" gigs. The band consisted of Ken Knott (vocals), Steve Miller (guitar), Mike Achtenberg (bass) and, at the time Randal joined on drums, Tom Potter (guitar). The older members of the group had very established punk pedigrees: Ken Knott was formerly in the seminal 80s punk band Violent Apathy; Steve and Mike were in the bands The Fix and Blight, and Mike was also in the Meatmen just long enough to be the bass player on the live side of We're The Meatmen and You Suck LP. Tom Potter would later go on to earn his own accolades as the guitarist/vocalist of detroit's Bantam Rooster. This was the lineup for the first two records Girls Say Yes To Boys Who Say No and Pitbulls on Crack. Tom Potter left the band just before the first tour, and Tim Weber (of the Blunt Objects, and much later Blood Gin) filled in on guitar for the tour. Dave Brehr (currently with The Cru
