Family Love band '74-'76
It has been a few years since the Family Love
last performed. Many of the young audience have never seen or heard of the
band, other than from the laserdiscs series. There is one wedding band in
the Los Angeles area claiming themselves to be the "Family Love Band", but they
are not. The one and only real Family Love Band currently resides in San
Jose, California, and NEVER advertises to play Weddings.
From the 70's to the 90's,
Family Love has changed quite a few drummers and bass players, but the
original members remain the same.
The original brothers and sisters consist of:
1.Lê Trí (vocalist, keyboardist, guitarist, sound engineer)
2.Christiane Lê (vocalist)
3.Tami Lê (vocalist)
4.Lê Toàn (Antoine) (vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist)
5.Lê Thanh (Michael) (vocalist, keyboardist)
Here are some of the photos of the band, to bring back some good old
memories... Enjoy!
