All Sports Band
All Sports Band was an American pop/rock musical group who saw minor chart success in the early 1980s. The band was founded by Tracy Coats, who sought to appeal to a youthful market by dressing the band members as sports figures. Coats spent 18 months auditioning tapes before selecting the band members. The represented sports were auto racing, baseball, boxing, football, and martial arts. The band appeared on both Solid Gold and American Bandstand.
Coats explained his concept for the band, saying, "Most of the athletes I've known were closet rock 'n' rollers, and most of musicians I've known were closet athletes. It seemed only natural to combine the two obsessions."
