4 unusual facts about Red Rockers


Klover

Klover was a short lived Boston punk band consisting of Mike Stone (later a Queensrÿche guitarist) on vocals and guitar, Chris Doherty (x-Gang Green) on lead guitar, Darren Hill (x-Red Rockers, Paul Westerberg) on bass and Brian Betzger (x-Jerry's Kids, Gang Green) on drums.

Red Rockers

The band experienced strain and dissension in its new situation with the exacting producer David Kahne.

Hill stayed in Boston, forming Klover in the mid-1990s; he now runs a management company, Ten Pin Management, which has represented Paul Westerberg, Roky Erickson, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The New York Dolls, and others.

The band's next album showed an even greater fragmentation in their musical approach: Schizophrenic Circus (1984) featured a new guitarist, Shawn Paddock, and a new producer Rick Chertoff but lacked a group cohesion.
