ROCK IMPOSTERS PLAY MONTANA STATE FAIR
The band which headlined the Montana State Fair last weekend (ends06AUG06) is accused of impersonating rock group REDBONE, whose hits include the 1970s song COME AND GET YOUR LOVE.
The group performed at the Butte-Silver Bow Fair under the name Redbone, but the real Redbone were playing in Wisconsin, according to their manager RON KURTZ.
He explains, "I've been in the business for 40 years, and I've never ran into anything this blatant."
Kurtz claims the State Fair Board was conned by the imposters, but Fair officials say they dealt with a man who identified himself as DENNY FRIEDMAN and said he was a co-founding member of Redbone.
PAT VEGAS, who founded Redbone with his brother LOLLY in 1968, says he has not heard of Freeman.
The Fair Board is investigating and will consultant the county attorney, according to Fair Board Chairman DAVE PALMER.
