The Mods

Miami garage music group the Modds was shaped in early 1965 by guitarist John Mascaro, bassist Don Ricketts and drummer Dewey Relationship, who previously teamed in the Uk Invasion cover music group the Deltonas. Vocalist Dean Liapis and business lead guitarist Bob Nimer curved out the lineup, which honed its mixture of pop and R&B addresses at regional frat celebrations and dancehalls aswell as the Miami Seaside resorts the Americana as well as the Deuville. In June 1965 the Modds documented their lone solitary, the initial “YOU SHOULDN’T BE Past due”–an acetate cut at Miami’s Dukoff Studios, it dropped in to the hands of regional DJ Morton Downey, Jr. (who himself earn substantial notoriety 2 decades later on for his questionable television talk display), who started spinning the disk during his WFUN radio slot machine. The publicity helped the Modds property an appearance at a Columbia Information convention, where they opened up for the Byrds and Paul Revere & the Raiders; a significant label debut offer is at the functions when Mascaro was drafted in to the Military and Liapis became a member of the Air Pressure, effectively causing the band’s demise. Relationship later on formed the music group Asbury Recreation area, while in 1973, Nimer required his own existence. In the summertime of 2002, Liapis, Mascaro and Relationship reunited the Modds for the very first time in decades, carrying out in Eustis, FL alongside fellow South Florida garage area vets the Montells and Bad.
