Band of Happy Days? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Niloc_Bleh · 01-15-2008, 12:50 AM

Hello,

First question on this board...

I am doing initial research of depictions/representation of amateur musicians on television and was wondering if anyone knew offhand in which episodes Leather Tuscadero and the Suedes perform. Is anything much known about Jan and Jill Bunker (the two who played the Suedes)?

Similarly, does anyone know offhand in which episodes Richie's band played?

Did anyone else ever play at Arnold's? (Besides Weezer)

Thanks,
C

Leather and the Suedes performed in "Fonzie and Leather Tuscadero" (parts 1 and 2), "Marion's Misgivings," "Rules to Date By," "Richie Almost Dies" (without the Suedes), "Stolen Melodies" (without the Suedes), and "Marion: Fairy Godmother" (without the Suedes).

I'm not sure what's known about the Bunker girls. I don't know anything about them. I do know that they weren't the first Suedes, though. That honor belongs to Donna Fein (Bertie) and Kathy Hilton (Gertie).

The band (it was more Potsie's band than Richie's) played in many, many episodes during the middle seasons of the series (mainly seasons 4-7).

Joanie and Chachi performed a few times at Arnold's. K.C., Jenny, and another girl performed once. There were probably others, but none come to mind right now.

ooh... would you be willing to share those soundfiles?
It would be only for my own research.

They are all online. (From the Band and some others as well.) All at my Website. But I have to confess, that it'll be a long Way until you'll reach the *Happy Days* Part ... and the Episode Guide. But it's worth clicking your Way through.

I've sent you an Email with the direct Link anyway...
