The Cold (rock band)

The Cold (rock band)

The Cold were a "New Wave" band that formed in New Orleans in 1979. The band were hugely popular in their home city and throughout the southeastern U.S. during their existence, but did not find national success. The members of The Cold were Barbara Menendez (vocals and keyboards), Vance DeGeneres (bass), Chris Luckette (drums), Kevin Radecker (guitar) and Bert Smith (guitar). Influenced by British punk bands as well as American act Blondie, the band released several independent singles between 1980 and 1982, then split up. They reunited in 1984 for an LP and new single release, and released another album in 1985. In 1997, a compilation of their early singles entitled "Three Chord City" was released. The band reunited for some live performances in 1999 and 2001. In 2005 a CD of outtakes from the band's original incarnation was released.

Vance DeGeneres is the brother of comedian Ellen DeGeneres, was the original Mr. Hands in Walter Williams's "Mr. Bill" Show, was a regular on "The Daily Show", and has played with Cowboy Mouth. Chris Luckette replaced Fred LeBlanc in Dash Rip Rock when LeBlanc quit to form Cowboy Mouth.
