The Edicates

Columbus, OH, garage area music group the Edicates formed in 1965. Vocalist/drummer Glen Cataline, business lead guitarist Jim Fox, tempo guitarist Tim Fleischer, and bassist Mike Fitzgerald comprised the initial lineup. When Fox was dismissed in early 1966, Fleischer assumed complete guitar responsibilities, with Mike Finks signing up for as keyboardist. After amassing a repertoire of United kingdom Invasion addresses, the Edicates started touring local armed forces bases and teenager night clubs, in 1966 earning a battle-of-the-bands competition at an area roller rink. The award was a documenting program at Columbus’ Musicol Studios, so when conditions of the program dictated how the group record first materials, Fleischer and Cataline collaborated to create both “She’s Gone” and its own flip aspect, “Worried Brain.” In the wake from the single’s discharge, bassist Joe Dodge changed Fitzgerald, and in 1968 the Edicates had been named the home band on regional television place WLWC’s well-known series Dance Party. Finks still left the lineup in early 1969, with Fleischer shifting to keyboards and Larry Gates putting your signature on to play lead electric guitar. In 1970 the Edicates rechristened themselves Boxcar, carrying on to gig throughout Ohio until their 1972 dissolution.
