Clockwise L-R: Rick Mendez, Jay Hoyer, Rob Meurer, Phil Arroyo, Mike Long, Bob Galindo

It is a rather strange photo indeed. Rick, also known as THE CROW, has our name written on his stomach in red lipstick, Mike long is wearing a stocking over his head, Robert Galindo is pouting, Jay Hoyer has shaving cream all over his face..don't ask, I cannot explain it. _R.G.

Zilches 1966. l-r: Rob Meurer, Rick "the crow" Mendez, Mike Long,
Bob Galindo, Phil Arroyo, Jay Hoyer.

Note: Mike Long and I are trying to emulate Brian Jones and Keith Richards from the "aftermath" cover. We thought is was soooooo cool. Note the wigs on Jay and Phil. _R.G.

Here is the very first band picture of The Zilches... (with Jay in a really bad wig.... we were all in high school)
