The Royal Crescent Mob (aka R.C. Mob aka The Mob) formed in Columbus, Ohio in 1985. Over the next nine years Carlton Smith (drums), Harold “Happy” Chichester (bass), David Ellison (vocals, harmonica), and Brian “B” Emch (guitar) created an exhilarating blend of punk, funk, rock, and hip hop and ignited stages with their incendiary live shows.
