The Kubas formed in 1963, and after a successful three week stint at the Star Club in Hamburg, they returned to the UK and based themselves in London with the Roy Tempest Organization. Columbia Records signed them up and their first record ‘Magic Potion’ was released in January 1965. Their second record, ‘Take Me For A Little While’, was released on the PYE lable (after PYE changed the spelling of their name to The Koobas) in November of the same year, one month before appearing on The Beatles final tour of Britain. In late 1965 they signed with Tony Stratton-Smith who was very enthusiastic about them, but, despite major promotion, they never quite made the big time. Following the release of their album, ‘The Koobas’, in 1968 and appearing as support group on the ‘Jimmy Hendrix Experience’ tour, they disbanded.
