There is not much information available about The Liberty Party. They were a five-piece band that formed in Seattle sometime around 1965. According to Music in Washington by Peter Blecha, the group formed in 1963 as The Enchanters, a Beatles-inspired act that lasted through the following year. In 1965, the group reformed as The Liberty Party, featuring guitarist-singer Gordon Kjellberg, guitarist Jerry Hawkes, bassist-singer Bill Rieben, keyboardist Mike Robbins, and drummer Al Malosky. The group released only three songs in its short career-- Jerden 787 Get Yourself Home c/w Weep On in 1966, and Send For Me on the original Battle of the Bands LP in 1967, a song that was reportedly recorded under pressure from Jerry Dennon of Jerden Records.
Guitarist Gordon Kjellberg was drafted into six months of military service in 1965. A few recording sessions took place after his return, but the band soon went their separate ways. Both Kjellberg and Robbins later played with Merrilee and the Turnabouts.
