Description
In 1964 a small band of teens began playing instrumentals: formerly known as "The Marauders", the band changed the name to "The Riptides" after original drummer "Rex Gregory" moved to Houston and "David Fore" signed on for a spell.
"John Lopez" said he first met members of "The Riptides" after he transferred to High School.
"The Riptides" were floored by "John Lopez" and he soon replaced Jordan. Meanwhile, Gregory returned from Houston, hoping to reclaim his drum spot in the band but had to settle for bass. It was a position he'd hold on to for the better part of the "Zakary Thaks"' career.
The final piece of the puzzle fell into place when "The Riptides" played on "Teen Time", a local TV show hosted by Charlie Bright on KIII.
A band called "The Last Five" was also on the program and their drummer -- one "Stan Moore" -- was incredible, "Chris Gerniottis" and Lopez remembered.
"He was such a character", "Chris Gerniottis" said of his former bandmate.
"We could see that he had not yet reached his pinnacle as far as drumming went. But that came quickly".
By spring 1966, "The Riptides" had now become "The Zakary Thaks", a name picked at random by singer "Chris Gerniottis" after reading a letter in a teen magazine. "It was a cool name, so we changed up the spelling and it was ours!" "Chris Gerniottis" said.
