The Twin Cities demanded a new horn band super group, and Bruce "Mardi Gras" Pfiefer
created the band "Rush Hour" to fill the void in the metropolitan nightclub scene. Artists such as Average White Band, Barry White, Earth, Wind & Fire, and KC & the Sunshine Band had people dancing like never before and Rush Hour performed their music and packed venues like the Leaning Post, Dibbo's, George's in the Park, the Left Guard, and the Iron Horse.
Featuring band leader Bruce Pfiefer on lead vocals and trumpet, Bill Carson on vocals, keyboards
and trumpet. Paul Crookes on drums, Jim Behringer on guitar, Neal Judkins on vocals and bass, and Bob Burtis on vocals, trumpet, sax, flute, and trombone, Rush Hour quickly became a hot item in the Midwest music scene.
Their signature song was a classic disco
hit called, "7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Blow Your Whistle" by the Gary Toms Empire, and blow it
they did! "Rush Hour" had nowhere to go
but up, with a career that began as a six
piece horn group at Dibbo's in Hudson,
Wisconsin and ended as a duo at the
Starlite Lounge in south Minneapolis. | |
