Influences: Classic rock that was generated from the '60s and '70s.
Sounds like: Lash says Retrolux sounds like your basic, typical 1970’s-era cover band that they all grew up with when they went to clubs in the '70s and that period.

Set list: At the moment, just cover songs.
Backstory: Don and Earnie met over the Internet and from there they interviewed other musicians and found Bob and James through the Internet and got together. They all had the same musical interest and the same ideas as far as what they wanted to create with the band.
Catch them live: Saturday Retrolux will be at Iggy’s Mexican Cantina in Valley Park and Thursday the band will play the Downtown Kirkwood Summer Concert Series. They also have unconfirmed winery dates in the fall.
See them sooner: Though there aren't any videos yet, they'll be posting some on the website next week.
