Band/artist history
Doug McGee was born Douglas Anor Anderson on August 19, 1952 in Tacoma, WA. Coming of age in the Seattle area during the wild and wonderful Sixties, he picked up his first guitar at age 12 and was immediately told to turn it down. After the usual list of garage bands and basement jams, he joined a band in progress they were still working on putting together their first set list and hadn’t chosen a name yet which lasted for about six months of practice in a mini-storage unit and two paying gigs before they broke up. He came away from that project with the nickname ‘Max’ and a new friend. Vocalist Julie Bentley was so impressed by Doug’s guitar and vocal backup work that when she joined the Top 40 band ‘Racer’ in 1981 she immediately called him to become their desperately needed Lightman. Julie married Lead Guitarist Keith Sternberg and the core group consisting of Julie, Keith, Doug and Soundman Steve ‘Dogman’ Dooley stayed together through many personnel changes as well as Keith and Julie’s not so amicable divorce. By the latter half of the Eighties the band had risen to the heady upper reaches of the Seattle Top 40 scene through sheer longevity. With the beginning of the decline of the club scene Steve and Doug left the band and Doug went to work for a stage production company called Avrock owned by local Soundman Kevin McCulley. The company’s credits include such used-to-be-bigs as Foghat, The Guess Who and The Outlaws. Dougs closest brush with fame came in the parking lot behind The Prime Rib Palace in Kirkland, WA where he got a chance to smoke and joke with Roger Fisher of Heart fame. When Doug returned home that night to impress his girlfriend by telling her that he had passed up a chance to go to Roger Fishers house to come home and be with her she replied “Who’s Roger Fisher?” He has bitterly regretted that decision ever since. After a series of losing bouts with cocaine culminating in a two year prison sentence Doug who has always believed that control is an illusion went to work building industrial control systems. Go figure. He now produces music on his PC using Cakewalk’s Sonar in his spare time and wishes to be just like Warren Zevon only without the cancer.
