NOTE: According to Bruce Eder, the band adopted the look of beads in 1965 at Eubanks' request. This is highly unlikely, as the look of long beads did not become fashionable until 1967, and does not correlate with photographs of the band, which have them pictured in Edwardian suits similar to those of the Beatles.[1]. The likelihood is that they would have initially adopted a mod (i.e. beat group) look popularized by British bands, but then evolved to a more "exotic" look later. Eder states that Eubanks was associated with the mod scene in Houston circa 1965, hence circa 1965 mod look. Eder also states ? & the Mysterians as an influence on the band's repertoire in 1965, which is also unlikely, since the Michigan-based group did not have a national hit until 1966, so I only mentioned Sam the Sham, whose "Wooly Bully" could be heard all over the place in 1965.
