The band began by playing mostly local venues. On one occasion they played to a packed crowd as one of the acts on the bill of a show being held at the Tauro Cinema, in which they caught the attention of some of the numerous journalists and music industry executives attending the Association of Music Journalists in Peru, being held at that time in Lima, who were present. They were detained several times by the police, mostly for speeding but also for taking a sledgehammer, axe and fake TNT to the railway station for a record cover photo shoot. In early 1965, they appeared on the popular TV Show, El Show del Diana on Channel 9. They were chosen as “best of the week” and received a recording contract with the DisPerú label. The first single that they released for the label featured the songs, “Come On” and “Ana.”
