Blues Pub was created/introduced by Tony Manolikakis, Andrew Leccese, Mike Prichett and Matthew Mathers. Tony and Andrew (aka O'Boogie & Cheese) were the common room managers in the 92’-93’ academic year. Part of the mandate for the common room was to provide a space for various engineering groups to hold fundraising events and social gatherings. A lot of the gatherings created a bit of segregation among the various departments (ex: Chemical engineering wine and cheese or Mechanical mixer).<br><br>

The name of the band that would play at Blues was “The Band That Killed Elvis.” This band was led by the go-to guy for anything music related in engineering, Paul Robichaud, who would play drums. They would play all sorts of music (grunge, blues and soul and even metal) with the aid of various instruments. Sometimes the band as well as the crowd would get so into the music, that some of the band members would actually go crowd surfing.
