[edit] History
The band started in 1967[1] in Phoenix, Oregon (a small city outside of Medford) as the teen band The Navarros, playing surf music and R&B.[2][3] The original members were Rick Bolz, George Gleim, Dyan Hoffman, John Morrison and Gary Campbell.[2] After cutting a single on a local Oregon label, the band moved to San Francisco and got caught up in the psychedelic rock movement.[2] After losing Morrison and Campbell to the draft, Ron Raschdorf and W.A. Farrens joined and the Navarros changed their name to The Neighb'rhood Childr'n.[2] They recorded a self-titled album on the Acta label in 1968.[2] This album is now much sought after by record collectors.[4] They toured constantly in support of the album, opening for The Who and The Grass Roots, and going on a short tour with The Beau Brummels.[2] After encountering problems on tour, the band developed a religious focus and changed their name to White Horse. They could not find a label that would release their second album, and the group disbanded in 1970.[2]
[edit] Influences
Their sound was compared to that of Jefferson Airplane, especially because of the vocal interplay between Dyan Hoffman and Rick Bolz, and The Turtles.[4] They also draw comparisons to the Sapphire Thinkers and The Peanut Butter Conspiracy. [1] [2]
