The Cincinnati Enquirer profiled many local bands, including The De’ Blu or De Blus, as they appeared in ads for the Mod Room at the Cabana restaurant in Erlanger, Kentucky.

De’ Blu was comprised of three students of Covington Catholic High in Park Hills, plus one member each from St. Xavier and the University of Kentucky.

Members were:
Mike White – organ
Greg Barker – lead guitar
Tom Bertke – rhythm guitar
Jim Nordmeyer – harmonica
Mark Gehring – drums.

“One of the most popular local bands appearing regularly at “Granny’s” these days is “The De’ Blu.” All of the boys live in Northern Kentucky and just recently they were offered a recording contract with Capitol Records.”

I have to wonder if anything ever became of the recording contract.
