Saturday night, a band of "Fugitives" will be on the prowl in Ironton.

But, no one needs to get the sheriff out of bed for these men. They just want to rock.

At the Knights of Columbus Hall, three of the four original members of the "Fugitives" will take the stage again. In the mid- to late 1960s, the Fugitives would raise a few eyebrows when roaring into a gig in a black Cadillac hearse. The rear door read, "Dig the Fugitives, Undertaking Rock and Roll."

Originial members Tim Kleinman, owner of Kleinman auto sales; Danny Young, employed at the Ashland, Ky. Big Sandy; and Todd Smith, owner of Durasash and a new member, Greg Sierer will shed their businessman skins.

Another former member went from being a Fugitive to putting fugitives behind bars.

"We were a hot band back then," J.B. Collier, Lawrence County prosecutor and former bassist, said. "I played all through college, but I had to choose between playing music or getting a real job. So, I went on to law school."

Because of his schedule, Collier opted not to be a part of the reunion; however, he still plays music in his spare time.

While playing at a 1966 Marietta fraternity party, drummer Kleinman, said, someone in the band spotted a 1956 Cadillac hearse that a man had recently bought from a funeral home.

"It was different and cool," Kleinman said. "Hearses have rollers, so it was easier to get our equipment out of the vehicle."

The band was also known for on-stage antics as well as their vehicle.

"I wore a diaper on-stage on New Year's Eve once," Smith said. "Because we were mostly a cover band, we would take the ridiculous things artists of the time would do and make them downright absurd."

The band was also known for playing a Hammond B3 organ that weighed 420 pounds. Recently, members found and restored the organ which had not been used since 1979.

Not only did the band attract a following in the Tri-State area, but they also played at large clubs in New York. Acts such as The Young Rascals, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars shared the stage with the Fugitives.

Smith said the band isn't looking for a record contract or fame. They just want to have fun.

"We're old friends playing songs for old friends," he said. "We'll be able to call most of the people in the audience by name. We want to get together and do this while we still can."
