Kaplan and Hubley placed an advertisement to recruit other musicians who shared their love for bands such as the Soft Boys , Mission of Burma , and Arthur Lee ‘s Love . The group’s debut recording was a 7″ single, “The River of Water”, backed with a cover of Lee’s “A House Is Not a Motel”, released in late 1985 with Dave Schramm on lead guitar and Dave Rick on bass. After recording “Private Doberman” for the Coyote Records compilation Luxury Condos Coming to Your Neighborhood Soon , Rick left the band and was replaced by Mike Lewis, the founding bass player of Boston garage-punk bands DMZ and Lyres , who was also a member of Brooklyn garage rock band the A-Bones throughout his tenure in YLT.
