Floyd Dakil formed his group in 1963 with fellow Highland Park High School friend Andy Michlin, and three sophomores of Thomas Jefferson High School: Ronny Randall on guitar, Terry Billings on bass, and Geoff West on drums. Within a year or so, Andy's brother Laurry Michlin took over on keyboards.
In February 1964 they won a competition to become the house band at the Pit Club, a 2,500 person venue located at the Bronco Bowl in Oak Cliff. "Chuck Berry rock 'n roll pre-Beatles - that's how I would best describe the music we played at that time" said Floyd
Floyd Dakil recorded three 45s on the Earth label as the Floyd Dakil Four. "Bad Boy" is the first of these, a very good rocker, produced by John Anderson. The flip is a good uptempo song "Stoppin' Traffic" about a girl who does just that.
The second Earth single combines the rockin' "Kitty Kitty" (great guitar solo too) with a neat pop song, "It Takes a Lot of Hurt". The third 45 on Earth has a good original, "You're The Kind Of Girl" with "Stronger Than Dirt" (which I haven't heard yet) on the A-side.
It was a later Pitmen group who recorded a couple 45s: "Earthy", plus "Summertime Blues" b/w "Suzi Q" (released on Earth 401).
