Prior to breaking up (c.1975), ''H. Collison'' was replaced by [[Marion Arts]] and ''Park'' by [[Paul Baxter]], while [[Sid Limbert]] and [[Mike Williams]] were also in the band for some time. ''Laven'' had moved from Auckland to Hamilton immediately prior to the formation of the band, while ''Arts'' had previously been in another Waikato University band called [[Swellfoot's Assembly]]. They were apparently popular at university arts festivals. |
The band played at the Ngaruawahia Rock Festival and played regularly at the [[Hillcrest Tavern]]. They released one single in 1973 titled [[Tallahassee Lassie]]. ''Arts'', ''Laven'' and ''Baxter'' went on to form [[The Red Hot Peppers]], while ''Limbert'' went on (much later) to the ''Warratahs.'' | The band played at the Ngaruawahia Rock Festival and played regularly at the [[Hillcrest Tavern]].
