[3][4] Myers's father owned a store that was visited by Bob Hafner who was the partner of Tony Hilder.
He came to one of their practice sessions and heard their version of "Church Key", a song he held the rights to.
They also covered The Revels hit "Church Key" bw "Passion" as Dave Myers and his Surf-Tones.
[7] Also in late 1963, the group played at the Second Annual Surf Fair, held at the Santa Monica Auditorium.
In the mid-1960s, he recorded as the Dave Myers Effect, releasing an album called Greatest Racing Themes.
Dale, who had an almost unblemished attendance record, was unable to perform so he asked Myers and his group to fill in for him on that occasion.
