The Rustix were a super popular R&B band during the late 1960's in the western NY area particularly in Rochester.
My experience with the band began in early 1967.I had been drumming for a band named The Invictas. I was becoming bored with the style of music played by The Invictas and coincidentally a new, up and coming group, The Rustix, had lost their drummer,Bobby Blandino, to the armed forces. The two groups had been playing at the same club known as the Varsity Inn. The Invictas played the night gigs while The Rustix played the Sunday afternoon gigs.
