The band was founded in 1978 with Butch, Dave, Mike and Bill, and played basically in the West Seattle area, including The Embers on Alki and the West Seattle VFW Hall among others. At the end of 1978 the band had a couple personnel changes; Bill Stevenson left the band and was replaced by Jay Hargreaves (later of DMZ), and Dave Guinn left (later to fill the drum seat for The Squirrels) to be replaced by another drummer who is only remembered by his first name “Larry”.The band ended its run in late 1979. Butch is still playing actively, and (as Ken Dammand) is currently the lead guitarist of Blackline (http://www.reverbnation.com/blacklinemusic)
