Brownsville Station was an American rock band that formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1969. The band consisted of Cub Koda (guitar, vocals), Mike Lutz (guitar), T.J. Cronley (drums), and Tony Driggins (bass). They are best known for their hit song "Smokin' in the Boys Room," which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1973. Brownsville Station's sound was a mix of hard rock and boogie-woogie, with influences from Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones. They released their first album, "No BS," in 1970, which featured a cover of the classic rock song "Let Your Yeah Be Yeah." The band continued to release albums throughout the 1970s, including "A Night on the Town" (1972), "Yeah!" (1973), and "Motor City Connection" (1975). They also had several other minor hits, including "Kings of the Party" and "The Martian Boogie." Despite their success, Brownsville Station disbanded in 1979. Cub Koda went on to a solo career and became a respected music critic, while Mike Lutz and T.J. Cronley formed the band Sonic's Rendezvous Band with former MC5 guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith. Today, Brownsville Station is remembered as one of the most influential bands of the 1970s, particularly in the development of punk rock and hard rock. Their music continues to be celebrated by fans of classic rock and roll. Brownsville Station I (1969 - 1971)
