Bio
Formed at Carleton College, Northfield, MN in the summer of 1965 by two college mates–Marc Reigel, Mark Headington, and three guys from Owatonna (MN) High School–Mike Jines, Bill Redeker and Barry Gillespie.

Their only 45 was released in 1966, "YOU SAY", featuring Byrds-esque jangling electric 12-string guitar, became a local hit in Southern Minnesota in the same year and also reached #1 on Chicago's radio station WEEF even a few months after they played the last gig in June 1967. Since they disbanded, they have played six times: 1968, 1992, 2004, 2006, May 1, 2010–with Marc, Mark, and Barry playing kind of an "un-plugged" set at this gig–and June 16, 2012, at the Carleton Class of 1967 45th Reunion, at the Grand Theater in Northfield, MN. recently, Marc Reigel has performed several sing-alongs in Ohio and Minnesota of 50's and 60's tunes ("Whole Lotta Shakin," "Bye Bye Love," "Peggy Sue," "Unchained Melody," e.g.). Mark Headington has played in a blues band, The Shufflin Duprees, in Lacrosse, WI. And Barry Gillespie has sung in a reconstituted Us Band in Owatonna, MN.

The 12-string killer "YOU SAY" has been on a couple of garage compilations such as "Pebbles, Vol. 17" and "Hipsville, Vol. 3". The original 45 is still an extremely sought-after record among garage rock collectors. Feathered Apple records in Basil, Switzerland, has pressed small-spindle 45s of "Want Me," an original Night Crawlers' fuzz-buster, and "Feel So Fine," originally by Johnny Preston, using tapes from the 1966 Summer recording session at Columbia Records in Chicago.

This is truly one of the 1001 songs to hear before you die. IMHO
