Floyd Dakil formed his group in 1963 with fellow Highland Park High School friend Andy Michlin, and three sophomores of Thomas Jefferson High School: Ronny Randall on guitar, Terry Billings on bass, and Geoff West on drums. Within a year or so, Andy's brother Laurry Michlin took over on keyboards. In February 1964 they won a competition to become the house band at the Pit Club, a 2,500 person venue located at the Bronco Bowl in Oak Cliff. "Chuck Berry rock 'n roll pre-Beatles - that's how I would best describe the music we played at that time" said Floyd in a 2008 interview.
