Grupa odniosła skromny i krótki sukces, dopóki przybycie Beatlesów do Stanów Zjednoczonych nie doprowadziło do spadku ich popularności. Członkami byli Rich Fifield, Dennis Lindsey i Bob Demmon na gitarach, Stormy Patterson na basie i perkusista Jim Gallagher.
Nagrywając kolejne single i albumy zyskiwali coraz większą lokalną popularność,lansując tylko jeden ogólnokrajowy hit "Baja".Pisząc niewiele własnego materiału posiłkowali się kompozycjami znanych autorów jak minn. Lee Hazelwood [kompozytor "Baja"], Dick Dale i Henry Mancini.
Grupa wyróżniała się świetnym opanowaniem instrumentów,gorzej natomiast wypadała w warstwie wokalnej.
