Phil & The Frantics

Formed in Phoenix, AZ, in 1963.
Phil and the Frantics consisted of Phil Kelsey (saxophone and vocals), Bill Powell (guitar), Rick Rose (keyboards), John Lambert (bass), and Steve Forman (drums). Forman left the band to join the Eclectic Mouse and was replaced by a new drummer, Joe Martinez.
They even had their own nightclub called The Cave, where his band was the headliner. The band attracted the attention of a local character named Jim Musil, Jr., who had a lot of friends in Los Angeles, including Phil Spector.
After John Lambert and Bill Powell left the band, Phil Kelsey later put together a third line-up of the Frantics; but by then, their sound was out of step with the current scene.
