Artist Portrait

Whiz Kids

Band,
Rock

Ann Arbor, Michigan band formed sometime in the late 60's by multi-instrumentalist Pat McCaffrey and percussionist Ken Michalik. The band's sound was distinct in that no guitars or basses were present. McCaffrey often would play organ pedals and analog synths in their place. By 1970, they were supporting the likes of Alice Cooper, Brownsville Station, Savage Grace, J. Geils Band and Spirit in and around southeast Michigan. Eventually, the band hooked up with Ann Arbor music impresario Al Nalli and their first recorded effort was released via his label, Kasaba Records, in 1971.
