History
The band was formed by Steve Malesic and Emilio Bocchetti in 1973.

They played weddings, cabarets etc. but over the years the band changed line ups numerous times as members left and returned.

When John Mandich joined the band as lead guitarist some original material was introduced and an album was recorded in 1978. Called Na Putu Tom, which translated is “On The Road”, all songs were written by Steve Malesic and John Mandich.

Sadly Steve passed away a few years ago but the boys get together a few times a year to have a jam or just go out for dinner in memory of Steve.
