Description

Koco, featuring, from left to right standing in the back row, David White, Terry Bollea, and Mark Keur. Robin Subicao and Anthony Barcelo sit on stools in front. Koco was the second of several bands that Terry Bollea, known commonly as the professional wrestler, Hulk Hogan, performed with during the early to mid-1970s in Tampa, Florida. Bollea, who played the bass guitar, left his band, Infinity's End, and formed the group, originally called Magic, with David White on the keyboards, Mark Keur playing the drums, and Stephen Griggs as guitar in 1973. After Koco, Bollea performed with the band Ruckus, before going on to a career in professional wrestling. Bollea was replaced with Brad Prince and eventually Pete McKay. The band changed their name to Freebird, but when Lynyrd Skynyrd released a hit song of the same name, they changed the name one last time to Firebird. The group attributed their disbanding in 1976 to the rising popularity of disco music.
