Fab 5 History

The Fab 5 was formed when Glen Anthony Sattel, Greg Lewis, Dwaine Abraham, and Bill Staats decided to break off from their existing 60s band, The Sign of The Times. The Sign of The Times consisted of approx. 8–9 members (with a sax player) and did primarily R&B/Motown/Soul Music of the 1960s.

In November of 1990, the four of them met at Greg's house, then drove to rehearsal in Greg's van and announced they were leaving the band. Needless to say, the remaining members of the Sign of the Times were surprised and pretty upset (I guess they got over it.....who knows).

Glen, Greg, Dwaine, and Bill wanted to take their new band "THE FAB 5" into the direction of The British Invasion/Party Rock music of the 1960s.

In August 1991, it was a performance at Scoma's Italian Restaurant in The Woodlands, TX, which paid $100 and all the spaghetti they could eat and all the tea they could drink, that The Fab 5 was officially unveiled. The rest, as they say, is "FAB" history!!!!!

Here is a look at the past......
