[1][2][3] Initially, the lineup consisted of group leader Dingler on lead vocals and Walker on drums, along with John Carter and Rick Spatt on guitars.

[1][4] After Spatt departed for college, the band decided that it needed keyboards, so Dingler asked Rick Kuerth to join on organ.

[1] St. Louis became the group's de facto manager and convinced the band to replace John Carter with Chris Johnson, a talented guitar player who was adept at figuring out the chords to many of the cover songs, and bring in Jim Britton and Don Herald.

[1] The band's first single was "I'm Higher Than I'm Down" backed with "That's Your Way", which appeared in May 1966 on Vark Records, the group's self-titled vanity label for Fenton.

[1] The band recorded two unreleased songs, the protest anthem "People of the Land" and "I Can't Explain".

[1][3][4] The band appeared on the same bill as the Grateful Dead on the regionally-aired Swingin' Time TV show.

[4] Kuerth remembers: The band's manager Chuck St. Louis introduced the group to Harper and Rowe, a singing duo from Canada who were looking for a backing unit, but the Aardvarks declined the engagement.

[1] The band attempted to continue and tried the former drummer from local group the Shackelfosts, but after one gig, they decided that the fit was not right with the loss of Walker.

[1] Terry Potts and Rick Kuerth departed from the group shortly afterward, with Spatt enrolling in college.

[1] Guitarist Jimmy Britton, who still resides in Muskegon, owns a recording studio and is active in the country music scene.
