about
Merrell Fankhauser and his band The Exiles had gained some regional success with the single 'Can't We Get Along' around the Antelope Valley area of California, but things didn't pan out. Fankhauser departed, leaving behind members who would meet up in Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band, and returned to the West Coast from whence he'd come. He also left behind a bunch of singles recordings laid down at Glen F. MacArthur's studio in Palmdale, done with various local members of The Exiles, along with recordings from Gary Paxton's studio. Fankhauser quit the surf band The Impacts in the end of 1963. In 1964, he formed Merrell & The Exiles. In 1967, back in Pismo Beach, California, he formed a new band, 'Fapardokly', with a residency at 'The Cove' club.
