The band was formed by Jurgen Peter (guitar) in 1965, and went on to release several records before finally disbanding in 1971.
The band membership that recorded the band's best known song, "1-2-5" was composed of Al Birmingham (lead guitar), Jurgen Peter (rhythm guitar), Bob Burgess (vocals), Mason Shea (bass) and Dave Wynne (drums).
Their final single, "Vapeur Mauve" is a French language version of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze".
When I folded the band in 1971, I had to cancel a whole year of advance bookings and it cost me a fortune in lawyer's fees to get out of some of them.
Bomp!, on their Voxx label released two albums of music by The Haunted in 1983, in their series 'Rough Diamonds' on garage bands having more than just a few songs available.
