He says the band will play anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes, focusing on classic material, which is what the band typically does. The set’s one original song is “The Cheater.”

Bob Kuban and the In-Men released “The Cheater” in 1966; at the time, Kuban was the bandleader and drummer, and Walter Scott handled lead vocals. Kuban took over after Scott was murdered and changed the band’s name to the Bob Kuban Band.

The song, the sole hit for Bob Kuban and the In-Men, came about after band members were playing around with new music.

“I remember a couple of the guys came up, and they were working on this tune. They told me to give it a listen. It was a rough version, but it sounded great. It just needed an intro and needed a driving beat,” says Kuban, the only original player still in the group. “We put it together, recorded it and it went crazy.”

Once the song was finished, he says, he knew it would be a hit. It had all the right elements and was timeless.

“We got all we could expect out of it, especially in St. Louis,” Kuban says. “The radio stations stayed on the song. They played it as long as they could.”
