Immediately prior to moving to Hamilton, ''the Rayders'' lineup was [[Brian McCarthy]] (lead guitar), ''Lyndsay Mulholland'' (bass), [[Ray Mulholland]] (drums) and [[Owen 'Danny' Campbell]] (guitar). In Auckland they had residency at nightclub ''The Galaxie''. [[Chris Collier]] (bass) replaced ''Mullholland'' when the band shifted to Hamilton, and in mid-1966 [[Clive Coulson]] joined as vocalist. Prior to ''the Rayders'' disbanding in late 1966, ''Collier'' was replaced by [[Kevin McNeil]] (ex-[[the Mods]]). In Hamilton the band recorded two singles, [[Its All Over Now Baby Blue]] and [[Working Man]]. After the demise of ''The Rayders'', ''McNeil'' reformed [[The Mods]] with ''Coulson''. | Immediately prior to moving to Hamilton, ''the Rayders'' lineup was [[Brian McCarthy]] (lead guitar), ''Lyndsay Mulholland'' (bass), [[Ray Mulholland]] (drums) and [[Owen 'Danny' Campbell]] (guitar).
