Description
Wisconsin's top dance band of the 1960s! Best known for their scorching "Varsity Club Song" on Back From The Grave #6. Band also comped on "Cuca Records Story Vol 3", "Tougher Than Stains", "Crypt", "Twistin Rumble Vol 4", and many others!
The Catalinas were formed early in 1962 by Bob Dix, James Kelly, Alan Posniak, and Harry Wheelock, all from the Fox Cities area of the state. After achieving an almost immediate popularity the Catalinas went on to become the state's No. 2 rock band, to set record crowds at over a dozen clubs, bars, and dancehalls in the midwest, and to become the second band from Wisconsin to be signed to a major recording company, Chess Records of Chicago. In 1966 the Catalinas decided to broaden their horizons and to see the country. They dyed their hair gold, had special gold uniforms made, changed their name to the "Golden Catalinas," and left for a national tour, playing nightclubs throughout the country. The tour did little for the group except to extend their popularity. In 1967, Posniak decided to leave the group and enter the business side of the music industry. Shortly after leaving the stage he formed Target Productions, a recording company and a public relations firm. Kelly decided to leave the stage a short time later, forming J.K. Productions, a booking agency and management organization. Six months later, in the spring of 1968, Wheelock and Dix, after a six-year partnership, dissolved the Catalinas completely.
