ABOUT
The Cryan' Shames are a veteran garage rock band with many personnel changes over the years that became famous during the late 1960s. (Note that this group is not to be confused with The Cryin' Shames, an English band formed around the same time.) They are best known for their hit cover of the Tony Hatch-penned "Sugar And Spice" (1966) as previously made famous by The Searchers.
Formed in 1966 in Chicago, Illinois and first known as The Travelers, the original hitmaking lineup consisted of Denny Conroy (drums), Jim Fairs (lead guitar), Jim Pilster (tambourine), Dave Purple (bass), Gerry Stone (rhythm guitar), and lead singer Tom "Toad" Doody. The Cryan' Shames have continued to tour to the present day, with Pilster and Doody the only remaining original members.
