"Bohemian Vendetta was formed as the Bohemians in 1966 in Long Island, New York.[1][2][3] Their original lineup consisted of Arthur Muglia (also known as Brian Cooke) on lead vocals and organ, his cousin Victor Muglia on bass, Randy Pollock on rhythm guitar, Richard Martinez on lead guitar, and Richie Sorrento on drums.[2][4] Initially the band had a strongly blues-based sound, reminiscent of Pretty Things, and the Shadows of Knight.[3] Under this line-up the band recorded two demo acetate singles in 1966 at Ultrasonic Studios in Hempstead (on Long Island), "Irresistible" b/w "Petrified, Like Stoned" (later referred to as "Like Stoned") and "I Don't Go that Way" b/w "All Kinds of Lows and All Kinds of Highs".[2][4][5] The band recorded demos of several more songs and released the single "Enough" b/w "Half of the Time" on the United Artists label.[5] While the single got a spot on the "Rate a Record" segment of Dick Clark's American Bandstand, it failed to chart.[2]" - Wikipedia
