This group was known for a more primal 60s punk sound, which in spite of their lack of wider success, have come to the attention of garage rock collectors and enthusiasts over the years.
The band was initially formed as the Avengers, a surf rock outfit, by students at El Camino High School in Sacramento, California in 1965.

backed with "Draft Dodger Blues" on Spectre in the Fall of 1966 with former bandmates Brent MacIntosh and Jack Androvich, credited as Don Wright and the Head Set.
