about
Formed in 1993, Real Lulu went on to develop into one of the midwest's strongest modern rock acts. Fronted by guitarist Kattie Dougherty and bassist Sharon Gavlick, and powered by the world-class drumming of Jim Macpherson (the Breeders & Guided by Voices), the band earnined top honors from a field of 48 bands in the 1994 Dayton Band Playoffs. The band's loyal fan base grew consistently after the release of their much-acclaimed 14-song CD "We Love Nick" on Dayton-based Big Beef Records. The CD was the long-awaited follow-up to their 1995 debut single "Hell" on Simple Solution Records (Guided By Voices; Braniac; CAGE), which was produced by fellow-Daytonian Kim Deal (the Pixes/the Breeders). That track was included amongst a collection of many other long-time fan favorites, which were performed by a whole host of talented drummers who helped out in the recording of the record. This was the result of the completion of "We Love Nick" taking place during a transition period in the band's career after their long-time original drummer, the multi-talented Gregg Spence had to depart due to other increasingly demanding musical involvements. Spence, a musical veteran of the Dayton scene, was known not only for his singing/songwriting abilities as displayed during his solo performances (including his perfomances in support of such acts as Brenda Kahn and Jonathan Richman), but for his strong band work with Dayton-favorites CAGE and the ever-popular, non-traditional landlocked surfrock
