They competed in the NW with the Kingsmen. They both released Louie Louie. Kingsmen had the hit. I was in the 5th or 6th grade at the time. Great era for music and garage bands. If your dad had room in his garage, you were in the band regardless of talent.
I remember when Louie Louie was released by the Kingsmen, I think I was in 8th grade then. Every garage band in the U.S. learned to play that one. Didn’t hear of the Raiders until after The Beatles came out but became a big fan.
