The Shōguns came from Latonia, Kentucky, now part of Covington, a town right across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. Members were:

Dan Herzog – lead vocals
Gary Arnsparger – lead guitar
Pat Mayerchak – rhythm guitar
Fred Dishon – bass
Larry Ackerson – drums

The Shōguns had two 45 releases, first a funky, tambourine-laden version of “Well All Right” that ends with dual guitar leads, shouts and breaking glass! The flip is one I haven’t heard, “In My Time”. It came out on the Schworer label in May of ’66.

Their second single was “The Look in Her Eyes” on Lemco, which again features interesting percussion as well as fine keyboard sounds, harmonies and even horns.

The Shōguns have a new CD and a website about the band at www.theshoguns.com
