The Throbs

The original incarnation of The Throbs (Ron "Sweetheart" Collie lead vocals, Jeff Campbell guitar, Michael Lotimer bass and Peter Lotimer drums) was formed in the mid 80's in Canada. The second incarnation was formed in 1988, at the Limelight in NYC, Toronto native Ronnie Sweetheart was on a weekend trip when he met bassist Danny Nordahl, and under the slurring serenade of Johnny Thunders they drank to the beginnings of a great rock n roll heartbreak. Drunk on dreams and champagne from the Titanic - The Throbs set sail. Without missing a beat, drummer Ronnie Magri joined the line-up with Swedish born guitarist Roger Ericson sharpening the rough edges.
