Melbourne band The City Stompers was formed in 1966. The band were regulars playing at the Club 431 in St Kilda Rd and The Q Club in Kew. Over the next couple of years, they went through a few lineup changes finally settling with Ken Wood on vocals, Bernie Rachelle on guitar, Tony Whitty on keyboards, Paul Anderson on bass and Gary Dewar on drums. It was this lineup that recorded two singles on the Astor label ''Times Like This / Half Past Midnight'' in 1968 and ''Rainbow River Band / ?'' in 1969. ''Rainbow River Band'' was never issued. Gary Dewar has since died.
