The "Sixties" were actually born in 1984. Musical Producer Yair Shragai decided that he wanted to have fun doing his army reserve duties, and what better way than to form a band that plays "Beatles" covers? He brought in singer/musical director/songwriter/pianist/guitarist Yoel Lerner, bass player/singer Moti Dichne and drummer Shlomo Hamami, all well-established musicians at that time, to join the fun. At that time, "cover" bands were something to be frowned upon. Nobody saw the sense in playing other people's music. The band was an instant success on the army circuit (it's actually better than it sounds..). Seeing the potential, Moti, Yoel, and Shlomo decided to try to make a living out of it, while Yair decided to pursue his musical production career. He still plays with the band occasionally for fun... The threesome played the Israeli pub circuit for half a year, achieving fame and fortune. (Well, not really, but managed to stay above water..) On New Year's Eve, 1985, they were invited to play a show at the newly opened King Solomon's Palace, in the resort town of Eilat. The success was immense, so much so that they eventually played there , first weekly, then monthly, for a period of 10 years, adding another member to the group - Lead guitarist /songwriter Shlomo Mizrachi, one of Israel's foremost rock guitarists, just back from Holland after living and playing there for 8 years. The "Yacht Pub" became world- famous , and people came from all over to see them play. At this point, the band began playing covers of other 60's groups, and covered some early 70s material as well. This line-up lasted till 1989, when Shlomo Mizrachi decided to leave the band to pursue a solo career. The remaining three members recorded a CD of various cover versions of famous 60s songs, with Yoel taking on the role of lead guitarist/musical producer as well. The Managing Producer ot the recordings was none other than Yair Shragai, who formed the group.. The band played for a while with alternating lead guitarists, till they were joined by Haim Romano in the spring of 1990. Haim , one of Israel's leading session guitar players, was a member of the famous Israeli heavy-rock group "The Churchills", who saw some success in the early 70s in the UK as "Jericho Jones", playing support to bands like "Led Zeppelin". Almost immediately upon Haim's arrival, the band began to see some success. They appeared on most of the top local TV shows, and moved on from mostly playing in pubs to the more lucrative company parties and bigger venues. This line-up changed in the middle of 1991, with the joining of present lead guitarist Itzik Bader, after Haim left to play with Yehuda Poliker, a famous Israeli singer. The last change in the line-up came in May of 2000, when drummer Shlomo Hamami left, to be replaced by present drummer Eli Haddad of the successful "Benzine" band, (whose lead singer and songwriter was Yehuda Poliker, who later had a great solo career, and took Haim Romano with him..) Since then, the group has gone back to its roots playing in crowded pubs, alongside their usual university/company/TV/overseas circuit.

The group has played in countless venues around Israel, as well as overseas, even in Morocco! Among some of the more famous venues are the University of Jerusalem, University of Tel Aviv, Bar Ilan University and most of Israel's college and academic circuit. They even play Ministry of Education- sponsored shows for high schools, which include light lectures on the importance of "Sixties" music and its influence on politics and life in general during those years. Other venues include Kibbutzim, and of course countless television appearances, which is no easy feat in Israel considering the fact that they sing mostly in English.. Their greatest experience to date was playing support to "Deep Purple " during their tour of Israel in 1991, after being chosen by members of the British band from many Israeli groups. The success of the group before a capacity crowd of 35,000 at Tel Aviv’s" Yarkon Park" was exceptional.
