From Watsonville, California Jerry Coulston - Vocals Willie Bryant - Lead Guitar Louie Payne - Bass Ron Coulston - Drums Jerry Summerall - Rhythm Guitar
Coulston formed the band when his brother Ron got out of the army in 1957. "He wanted to play the drums" remembers Jerry, "even though he knew nothing about them, but when he quit he was one of the best drummers I ever saw. Willie Bryant was on lead guitar, Gary Summerall on rhythm and a kid named Louie on Bass, that was the nucleus. Joe Jaros of Christy Records was at a dance that we did somewhere and he started talking to my brother. As soon as he said he had a recording label we were all ears, We jumped right on top of it." Jaros hired the accomplished young combo to provide instrumental accompaniment for many Christy acts including The Jades, but he also let Coulston loose on his own crazy composition. "When I was growing up there was this old man of Portuguese decent who used to make crates to put fruit and lettuce in, and whenever he saw me he used to say 'Hey ugga bugga boo!' That's where I got that little phrase from, it was just a little gimmick I put in there. It's so simple it's good. But the thing with Joe was, you had to get things in the first take because he didn't want to pay for studio time. So he counted the start to 'Cave Man Hop' out so fast that I could barely keep up with it!
