In the beginning the Continental Drifters decided to concentrate on
building its sound by playing a residency at a club in Hollywood California
called Raji's (known for booking anything new, mostly Punk Rock). The
Continental Drifters played Raji's every tuesday in 1992. To make the
night more interesting, the band would invite down thier musician friends
and either back them or have them sit in. Those performances are the
corner stone to the Continental Drifters family style commitment and
musical direction.During that year the band exprienced a flux in membership, starting out as a 5 piece band (Ray Ganucheau, Carlo Nuccio, Gary Eaton, Mark Walton and keyboardist Danny McGough) they evolved and ended up as a 7 piece band, replacing Danny with Peter Holsapple and by 1993 adding Psycho Sisters Vicki Peterson and Susan Cowsill to the line up. what we all know as the Continental Drifters.
