Detroit rockers the Wha? formed in mid-1965 around vocalist Bob Demster, his guitarist brother Tom, lead guitarist Tom Tasseff, bassist Dan O'Connell and drummer John Milkovich. The group's name was inspired by a trip to New York taken by the Demsters and O'Connell where they saw a then-unknown Jimi Hendrix performing live at the Greenwich Village club Cafe Wha?; Hendrix was discovered by the Animals'Chas Chandler less than a week later, and the rest in history.
