The Myrchents began as the Nomads, which included Jimmy Carmean on guitar, Jack Brooks on guitar, Jack's cousin Keith Dickess on bass, and Steve Baumgartner on drums. The Nomads played the 3 chord frat rockers like the Kingsmen etc. After some discussion the group decided to get serious and change their sound to Byrds/Stones scene, so they got Bill Edwards on lead vocals and Rick Callender on drums.
