The Ultimate's were five kids from Issaquah High School, who played together from 65-67.  Playing at high school dances, at community clubs, and private parties.

All but one of the guys in the band went into the army shortly after graduation.  After that, we all took our separate roads musically.  Tom Lapsanski is playing in the Spokane area, and Russ Martin is Sitting in with local bands in the Seattle area (Goldrush, Crawlspace, Bakers Dozen.)
