Artist History Rick and Rob met Larry in College. Larry was playing guitar in a band called Satellite at the time, with his brother Joe on drums. Rick was playing guitar for Brandy Wine. Rob was a guitarist too, but he never played with anyone. (No one played with him either.)The next thing you know, the four of them formed a band called Fourcast. What a brilliant name, uhh idea! But someone had to play the Bass guitar.Rob humbly accepted. After playing the club scene for some time, and singing like birds with their Boston-like harmonies, they decided to play strictly original music. Chris "Pez" Lopez and Frank Saliba joined the band, and the name was changed to Band Central Station (BCS) to protect the innocent. Rick and Rob didn't know that Larry and Joe knew Frank. But Larry and Joe knew that Rick and Rob knew Pez. Before you know it,everybody knew everybody, and a powerful blend of music was created.Just listen to the MP3.
