Zakary Thaks - Form the Habit (1966-69/2001)

"Zakary Thaks" - a garage band from Corpus Christi (Texas). Initially called as "The Marauders". Founded in 1966. After a first single recorded on the local label "J-Beck", could play an opening for their idols "The Yardbirds". The second single was even more successful, and the band toured with "Jefferson Airplane" and "The 13th Floor Elevators". In 1968, lead singer Chris Gerniottis left the band (attached to "The Liberty Bell"), but soon returned. However, the group was unable to repeat the success that accompanied their early work, and in the early 70s, it ceases to exist. Stan Moore died in 2000. In 2004 and 2005, the remaining members of the group gathered for performances at festivals. January 18, 2008 from cancer, died bassist Rex Gregory.
