Front Image

"Front Image was an American rock band formed in New York City in 1969 [1]. Their original lineup consisted of lead singer Camembert (Bert) LaRue, guitarist and songwriter Emmenthal (Emmet) Riesling, bassist Brie LaRue, and drummer Chester "Cheddar" Donovan. Originally a thesis project by producer Roquefort Lang, the group is often colloquially referred to as "Fromage" due to the band’s name and the fact that each member is coincidentally named after a type of cheese [2]. Their musical style evolved greatly over the course of the band’s career, from psychedelic surf-inspired rock in the late 1960s to harder rock in the 1970s. The group infamously struggled to find commercial success until the release of their 1972 album "Jackal and Hide" and their joint "Victory Lap" tour with British rock group Idle Warship in the summer of 1973 [3]."

Personal Relationships

"Riesling, Donovan and Bert LaRue have been friends since childhood. Says Bert: “It was nice having Emmet and Chester around because I knew I could always rely on them. They were the only two people who I thought saw me for who I really was: a scared kid from California who’d just had to leave half his family behind. We had this thing we’d do where we’d “play band” with Chester’s uncle’s old stuff, and I guess that started evolving into something bigger. By the time I recruited my sister to play bass for us, Emmet was churning out lyrics basically every day. I think we knew we were on to something good, we were all just too scared to realize it” [12].”
