Mike Porcaro
Steve Porcaro
FLOOD THE TENNIS SHOE
This weird name is one the names of bands the Porcaro brothers played in when they were young. From an article in "People" in 1983:
"Porcaro and his brothers, bassist Mike, 27, and keyboardist Steve, 25, make up half the group. Their father was a semipro percussionist who also ran a drum store. He taught all his boys to read music. By the time they were attending Grant High School in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley, they had their own garage bands, with names like Flood the Tennis Shoe. "There was never a doubt that they would have a successful music career," says Papa Porcaro. "They've been working toward it since the first grade."
