THE LUBRICATORS was the dream of bandleader Michael Foster. With the love of blues in his heart, and desire to play with top notch bluesmen, he set out to form a special band. He was able to obtain guitarist Robert Lieberman. Robert referred Mickey to his long time friend and bass man Jerry Luithle. Dave Sprock, also a local vet and friend was called on to drum. The band sparked immediately. Not only were they making great music, but having great fun besides!
THE LUBRICATORS have been together since 1986. They have become one of the tightest and most exciting blues bands in southern California. Working constantly has made them well recognized in the blues community, and are especially popular amongst the blues players, due to their technical skills and deep knowledge of the music. It is not uncommon to have some of the best players in town dropping by to check them out, or maybe sit in for a couple of tunes.

After 9 years of working together and building THE LUBRICATORS Dynasty Robert had to leave the band due to the death of his loving mother and his father taken ill. God bless them all. The band pushed on with substitutes trying to fill the shoes of The Blade which was nearly impossible until Barry Levensin’s arrival. Barry’s extensive talent and history of recordings and productions alongside Billy Foster “Charcoal” on 2nd guitar, this duo makes for a smokin’ hot band.
THE LUBRICATORS have a familiar logo. They advertise in several publications, sell T-shirts, bumper stickers, and are legendary for their humorous flyers. They have been reviewed in the L.A Times and several other publications. Always getting a positive review makes them a name associated with excellence.
The music of THE LUBRICATORS ranges from old Delta Blues to Uptown Chicago, from hard edged Texas shuffles to West Coast Swing. The band has a huge repertoire, and can vary the music to suit the crowd. Just wave a bill in front of the tip jar and you’d be surprised what these boys can get down with!

THE LUBRICATORS are currently recording a CD, it is due out for the summer of 2005. But don’t wait for the CD; catch them now while you can!
The band is available for a variety of functions such as night clubs, parties, recording sessions, weddings, divorces, and is a great host or house band, (THE LUBRICATORS hosted so-cal's most popular blues jam for over two years). From big houses, to honkey tonks and juke joints, or any place that needs a great blues band; we can fulfill your needs. We hope to be playing for you real soon!
