Welcome Tom Mann, David Shirley, and Chris Simmons from Johnson City, TN to The Star City! Spank - the '80s has been providing totally awesome experiences for audiences since 1999.
After hearing a careless whisper as he was looking at the man in the mirror - Tom decided to create a concept that has rocked the SEC College Campus circuit for years! A voice said, "Sweet child o mine, you still haven't found what you're looking for so you must form a new band." Tom thought, "I'm addicted to the love of music so I'll do something a bit different."
So he got out of his dreams and into his car and drove down Electric Avenue to find Dave and Chris. Tom asked them to be the wind beneath his wings and although they were hesitant at first, they soon agreed.
"Nothing's gonna stop us now," Tom thought. Against all odds, they rehearsed and rehearsed. Time after time they played the songs until they said "Sussudio! We got the beat!"
Tom was walking on sunshine as his rock and roll vision came to fruition. He then called 867-5309 to share his excitement with Jessie's girl. She didn't understand Tom's enthusiasm at first so he said, "Come on Eileen, you know I love rock and roll!" She said, "That's what I like about you, Tom. You are a true rock and roll maniac." Spank continues to rock towns bringing a celebration wherever they go!
