Born in Montreal, Missouri, the three Pabst brothers grew up in a fairly normal household. The boys, Ace, P.Beaux, and
buDDy, were all put up for adoption by the age of 10 because of behavioral problems. Ace, the oldest, was adopted by
the VanFaken family of New York, New York. He was trained as a classical concert violinist. P.Beaux, the middle
brother, was adopted by the Rockit family of Greenville, South Carolina. His father, Ronnie Rockit, trained P.Beaux to
play the Mini Moog electric piano. buDDy, the youngest of the Pabst brothers, was adopted by the Poor family, one of
the wealthiest families in the world. At age 12 and living in Honolulu, Hawaii, buDDy studied percussion performance
under master percussionist Rock Rudy at the Lester Lanin School of Music.
Some years later, the brothers managed to reconnect on an emotional Maury Povich TV special entitled "Lost Brothers,
Lost Years, More Beers." Upon learning of each other's profound musical talents, unmistakable love for Pabst Blue
Ribbon Beer, and devotion to Georgia football, the three brothers knew that they could not be apart any longer and
promptly formed the band "speck". The group auditioned one vocalist and hired him right away. The hired gun was
none other than Brentsy Rosco, a renowned bluegrass / country vocalist. With Brentsy on board, "speck" went into the
studio and recorded their first c.d. entitled "speck". Under the guidance of their manager, producer, and engineer, D.J.
Jazzy Jiff, known around the world as the founding father of the musical phenomenon known as soft alternative country
jazz rock rap, "speck" recorded several hits including "Nothing", "Ex-Outside", and "Doo-little". The band embarked on a
world wind tour that included infamous dates at the famous "Monkey Barrel", "Lenny's", and "Tasty World". Growing
weary of life on the road between Cumming and Gainesville, Brentsy resigned from his position with the band, leaving
"speck" without a lead vocalist and front man. One can still see Brentsy Rosco performing his world famous solo hits at
numerous Baptist Church fellowship halls in the North Georgia area.
After the departure of Brentsy, the band quickly auditioned one vocalist. They did not hire him. Instead, the boys
decided to resume life as a three-piece ensemble. The line up would now consist of:
Ace VanFaken: Guitar and vocals
P.Beaux Rockit: Bass and vocals
buDDy Poor: Drums and vocals
With the new roster ready, "speck" went back into the studio to pound out it's second c.d. "Junior". Again with D.J. Jazzy
Jiff at the controls, the band doled out a more edgy album consisting of the concert favorites "Bottles On The Floor",
"Ride On 53", "Way Too Late", and "Stormy". "speck" hit the road again, now leaner and meaner. The tour included
numerous dates all over the world, but limited to the North Georgia Region.
When the band completed the world tour, they headed right back into the studio under the guidance of D.J. Jazzy Jiff to
record the masterpiece, "You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best, Just Not Tonight...". The cd featured a softer /
harder side of "speck". It also marked the first time that two of the songs on the cd would featur the untamed lead vocal
stylings of drummer buDDy pOOr. The cd featured international hits such as the self titled rocker "speck", the up tempo
ballad "Asian Girl", and the fm radio wonder "Questions and Answers". The highlight of the cd could be a little song
about the golden necter, that is PBR, entitled "Best in '93". There are too many songs to mention in this small, confined,
yet comfortable, area. Needless to say, the cd met with smashing success throughout the world on a limited basis.
The Band is currently beginning the tedious process of writing complex, but spunky, new material for the upcoming
fourth cd that will be entitled "Si Se Puedes". "speck" will also be getting back to their roots with a tour of small clubs in
eastern Tanzania.
