Meet The Founders

Alan burst onto the scene in 1976 while collaborating with Simon and Garfunkel in co-writing “50 ways to leave your lover”. Later attempts proved that he was not just a one hit wonder while ironically hitting again in a collaboration with Peaches and Herb titled “Reunited”. His connections in Hollywood landed him the role of the Scarecrow in the Wiz where he met co-creator of the Ugly Disco, Mike Donoghue. It would be years before they collaborated to start the disco but in the meantime Alan made ends meet by working as a Ziggy Stardust impersonator. Alan now makes his living as a Real Estate Broker and is easily recognized by his clever slogan “Got Wood?” Inside sources believe the slogan is a reference to a costume malfunction while playing the part of Stardust.

Mike worked briefly in Hollywood as a choreographer on Saturday Night Fever and The Wiz after tumultuous life as an inventor and entrepreneur. His rise and fall were later chronicled in full length feature film starring Steve Martin in 1979 titled The Jerk. Reluctant to return to the scrutiny of tinsel town Mike settled in Rochester and quenches his theatrical appetite by judging Rochester’s famous “Garbage Plate” eating contests. For work Mike is the President of Regional mortgage banking firm and given the current state of the current mortgage market Hollywood has come calling to do a sequel; The Jerk II

Kevin was the creative consultant for McDonalds in the early seventies when he created the character the Hamburglar. A brief stint in the late 80′s had Kevin going to hollywood for a small role in the movie Office Space. Locked into protracted legal dispute with McDonalds he cut ties with the restaurant chain in favor of a career in the office support business. Kevin briefly returned to hollywood as a creative consultant for the movie Death to Smoochy. The movie was panned by critics and audiences alike and most likely ends Kevins theatrical career but his love of Hamburgers continues.

Not much is known about Lagonegro other than the fact that he played the Part of Father Guido Sarducci on Saturday Night Live for several seasons. Many believe that his role is not just a character but he may actually have been a priest but left the priesthood to marry his wife Zena (no, not the warrior princess). “Little Al” as he is often called is a founding member of the Disco and a member of Ten Ugly Men for obvious reasons. 

Like many of the members Frank has been successful in both music and screen. First with a successful solo song you may have heard called “Kung Foo Fighting”. Frank was unable to duplicate his musical success and turned to movies to quench his creative thirst. Frank wrote and directed Smokey and the Bandit which was the second highest grossing film of 1977, coming in second to Star Wars. When asked about the inspiration for the movie Frank hinted that it may be based on a true story but details are vague at best. His next move was to the small screen where he was a creative consultant for “The Dukes of Hazard”. In addition to creative consultant he had a small reoccurring role as Cooter Davenport. Frank returned to Rochester to start a family and has been spotted at Daisy Dukes dressed in “Cooter Davenport” wardrobe. While a connection to Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke) has never been made many sources close to her believe that he broke off a long courtship after discovering her with James Best (Roscoe P Coltrane).

After a reoccurring role on The Partridge Family producers decided there was room for only one heartthrob and cut john in favor of Danny Bonaduce. It was widely rummorred that the departure of Cook was a result of love triangle between Shirley Jones (Shirley Partridge) and Dave Madden (Reuben Kincaid). John returned from Hollywood to Rochester NY where he divides his time between various charity causes and cougar hunting. He and Danny remain close to this day.
