LaFlavour began humbly in Massillon, Ohio, in 1967. Twin brothers Pete and Steve Nervo (guitar and drums) joined with schoolmates Craig DeBock (guitar and sax) and Gino Milchak (bass guitar) to form the core of what would actually become several bands. By the mid-1970s, the boys had progressed into one of the hottest dance bands in the area and eventually began traveling as the show band”Ragweed.” Thanks to notable Akron club owner Arnie “Red” Shapiro, they came to the attention of top entertainment booking agent John Sansone from Buffalo, NY, who took over the booking for the band and decided to rename them “Flavour.” The Boys became “LaFlavour” with the release of the album “Mandolay” in 1980.
