David Kastle had been in The Mingels while Russ McCallister owned/managed a music store on Hamilton's King St. E. and was involved in the band as a player and supplier of some of their instruments when they decided to form in Hamilton around September of 1970.
The band scored several singles (at least one of which was engineered by a very young Daniel Lanois) on both RCA and then Reprise following their line-up change. Rumour has it that while performing someone from Super K Productions spotted Jerry Doucette and he was drafted into the bubble-gum hit machine stateside known as The Kasenetz-Katz Super Cirkus in 1970.
The group lasted until April 1970 after which time the group mutated into The Terra Nye Project.
Jack Pedler would go on to be in Hamilton punk act Teenage Head and has had a lengthy solo career as well; Jerry Doucette joined Ralph Murphy's Roadhouse project before eventually striking out on a successful solo career.
