As I understand it they were British though not actually from Liverpool, and
in 1965 they came to the US, were better received here than at home, and
decided to stay. Why they chose Spokane, Washington, as their new home I
have no idea, but that's what happened. They had one very minor national
hit ("Any Way That You Want Me," #98 in 1966) but were well-known in the
Pacific Northwest.
