   About Richard and the Young Lions
Richard and the Young Lions had a regional hit called 'Open Up Your Door' back in 1966 that peaked nationally at number 70 on Cashbox for 6 weeks. A combination of bad luck, a complete overhaul of members, and ineffective management caused a song that had the potential to be great to waffle in mediocre-dom..

Eventually the band faded away.

Thirty years later, 'Open Up Your Door' appeared on a garage-rock box-set called 'Nuggets' and a series of coincidences brought everyone in the band back together to give success another go.

The re-formed band found the familiar struggles, but eventually worked to put together an album of new original songs.

There is a documentary available on DVD of the history of the band called Out of Our Dens: The Richard and the Young Lions Story Pick up your copy at Lantern-Media.com or on Amazon.com
