Signed to CBS from 1965 to 1968, but did not record a full-length LP during that time. In 1967 they traveled to Colombia, where they had a three month residency during the opening of the "La Bomba" discotheque, after which they returned to Mexico. Los 4 Crickets played as a house band at the Holiday Inn (Acapulco) from 1971 to 1973. * A 1967 Billboard magazine interview with a Mexico-based record executive placed the band among a crop of then-contemporary artists which he referred to as a "new wave" or artists.
