Fuzz Acid & Flowers: Paul Revere formed his first band in Boise, Idaho in 1958 soon after getting kicked out of school. He originally called them The Downbeats but later Paul Revere and The Raiders. Whilst he owned a drive-in restaurant he befriended an 18 year old bakery delivery man Mark Lindsay whom he eventually recruited to his band on vocals. In the Spring of 1959 Paul headed for LA with a taped arrangement of an instrumental called Beatnik Sticks by his band. He was turned down by several companies but eventually got a contract from a guy who owned a pressing plant and put out recordings he liked on his own Gardena label. Later in April 1961 Gardena released an instrumental that made it into the national charts. However, the following year Paul was drafted and the group fell apart. When he returned from service Paul decided to change his base to Portland, Oregon. Mark Lindsey joined him there but the other band members couldn't so he set about forming a new line-up (B). Eventually they got a manager Roger Hart who eventually got them signed to Columbia as its first rock act. They soon moved to LA and became regulars on the show 'Where The Action Is', which put them in the public eye. Just prior to their move to California they had also begun wearing the uniforms they became famous for, for the first time. They also hired the services of former Beatles publicity agent Derek Taylor and their albums were benefiting from first class production by the likes of Terry Melcher (the
Byrds' producer) and Bruce Johnson (of The Beach Boys). From 1966 when they burst into the national charts with Just Like Me and Kicks (one of the first anti-drug songs) until well into the seventies they enjoyed considerable chart success. In later years they underwent several personnel changes. Although they began in the garage tradition, their exposure following their signing to 'Where The Action Is' killed off their underground appeal pointing them in a pop direction. Raiders' members Drake Levin, Mike Smith and Phil Volk all later played in Brotherhood and Friendsound. Pierre Ouelette went on to Don & The Goodtimes and Aesop & The Fables, whilst Charlie Coe had earlier played in Jack Eely & The Courtmen. Lindsay and Alliso also recorded two singles as The Unknowns. ... Paul Revere & The Raiders are still going strong as we head into the millenium.
