THE OTHER ENDS

The band formed as The Sonics in 1964. The came out of the Coogee-Maroubra suburbs of Sydney. On entering the NSW's 1966 Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds they changed their name to The Loose Ends. They won the state finals after a close tussle with The Sunsets. In the National Battle of the Sounds staged in Melbourne, they finished second to The Twilights. Their prize was a recording contract with Go!! Records, an appearance on the Go!! Show, $500 and a sea cruise. They recorded a single, ''Without You / Come On Baby'' at Bill Armstrong's studios in Melbourne. Both sides were written by Maurie Camilleri. Because a so-called supergroup was apparently forming in London under the name The Loose Ends, the band once again changed their name and became The Other Ends. This single was to be their sole recording legacy.
