The Children

about

There is more than one band called The Children: 1) This group was originally from San Antonio and issued several singles throughout the late 60s and early 70s. They also released one LP titled 'Rebirth' in 1968. Original members included Steve Perron (vocals), Louis Cabaza (keyboards, vibes, vocals), Cassel Webb (vocals), Andy Szuch (drums), Bill Ash (lead guitar) and Benny Treiber (bass). The group's origin can be traced back to the merging of two mid-sixties garage bands, the Stoics and the Argyles. The new combination initially took on the name the Mind's Eye, which released one single in early 1967 and even briefly opened their own psychedelic night club. The name change to the Children and a move to L.A. soon happened when Treiber, who was friends with the sister of Monkees member Mike Nesmith, got Davy Jones (also of the Monkees) to agree to produce recordings and manage their band. Ironically, Treiber soon had a falling out with Jones and was quickly replaced by Mike Marechal (bass). Even more ironic was the fact that their marriage with Jones didn't last long when, upon returning from a tour of the U.K. in late 1967, Jones discovered that the money he had set aside to produce the Children had been squandered by his manager. With only three songs recorded, the Children were released from their contract, but still managed to get one single issued on the local Laramie label before heading back to Texas. The Children next journeyed to Houston where they signed with th
