"The Regents and the Red Carpet! What a flood of memories. You guys were great, like most of the NW rock phenomenon. You owned that place. I remember the great vibe there. The regulars were very into music and were in the know."
Jim Sola, The Deacons, Flashback"The first time that I ever heard a live band do "Gloria" was by the Regents at a Wilson HS dance in the fall of 1965. It made a lasting impression on me and on our future lead guitarist, Mark Harkness. We were both sophomores at the time we heard the Regents. Together, with Scott Jones, Brent Lund and Mark Watson, we formed the band the next school year."
Gregg Gagliardi, Daze of the Week"I used to come to The Red Carpet and see you guys - I always enjoyed the Regents. Seems to me you guys competed a lot with The Statesmen. The Regents were an impressive band."
Jeff Morgan, The Great Pretenders, The Mergers, Panama Orange Tree, Rock-Ola, LocoMax, Back Alley"I remember being blown away by Bill McPherson's sax playing, and I've often wondered what became of him."
Tom Walters, The Noblemen"I remember the Regents. We came to Tacoma a couple of times and danced to your great music... Sac "O" Woe good buddy"
Dennis Talbott, The Dwellers, The Valients & Time Bandits"The CD & tape just arrived. THANKS! Thought I'd listen to Sue's (Sue Isekite's) tape first. Man that lady can sing!!! There's something about her style that I just really like. I can't quite put my finger on it. She has a way of rocking but with kind of a sweet, country influence underneath, and, the country influence never shows any hint of "whiney" or "squeeky." That's rare. Maybe best of all, I don't hear any of that obvious, vocalized "showing-off" that is sooo common lately--especially with female singers.. Her voice is accurate, honest, sweet and straight ahead. That kind of defines "class." Doesn't it?"
Sonny Schaaf, Christian, Color Blue and more, July 2003I remember watching the Regents, Statesmen, Sonics, and dancing to your music at the Red Carpet. Those were magic days that influenced and led me in a direction that captivated me for the following 18 years of my life.
Norm Bennett, Muf, Mandarin Extract, August 2003I had the opportunity to hear the Regent's play at the Red Carpet in Tacoma. I remember you guys as being a really tight band, and also having a lot of fun on stage.
Tim Hall, Grizzly, Nyanza, Foghorn Leghorn, Tim Hall Band, December 2003I cannot tell you how much I loved hearing The Regents at Cheney. You have a way of giving the down-beat a regular punch on your bass. I really like that. Nothing too fancy--just solid. Billy McPherson blows me away.
