Bones was an American Power Pop band that combined rock with soul and Rhythm and blues, charting in 1972 with their cover of Huey Piano Smith's song Roberta. Bones was the continuation of the band The Peppermint Trolley Company, which renamed itself and chose a new musical direction, after the group walked away from their recording contract with Acta Records in 1969.
Bones released two albums, one on Signpost Records and another on MCA Records, as well as releasing three singles. The original line-up included Jimmy Faragher (vocals, bass, guitar), Danny Faragher (vocals, keyboards, brass, harmonica), Casey Cunningham (drums) and Greg Tornquist (guitar, flute, harmonica) Patrick McClure (guitar, vocals) joined the band for the second album in 1973.
In 1969, Sunshine Pop group The Peppermint Trolley Company walked away from their contract for a variety of reasons, both financial and creative. They moved to Riverside, California and changed their name to "Bones". According to Danny Faragher, the name was chosen as it was the furthest thing away from the name Peppermint Trolley Company, derived from an Earl Stanley Gardner murder mystery novel.
