Adelaide band The Chosen Few started out as The Outcasts and were formed in the mid sixties. The quintet regularly played Adelaide clubs like The Octagon and Big Daddy’s. In 1966 they competed in the Battle of the Sounds winning the South Australian section. Moving to Melbourne they competed in the national final where they came fifth in 1966. Though not winning they did get a deal with the Go!! record label and released one single. The A side was a cover of the Zombies’ ''Is This a Dream'' and the B side was ''Let Me Down Easy''. Influences were The Zombies, The Animals, James Brown, Wilson Pickett & The Spencer Davis Group, which the band played many covers of.
