This band started out as Wizzard. They tried something new for a club band at that time. They played a dinner set then a rock set then changed clothing and played a surfer set Afterwards they'd change again and greased there hair and were Big Daddy and the Cruisers. Soon, Happy Days hit TV and Sam's whole show became The Cruisers.Rich "Carl Cadillac" Chapman, October 2002
Stan joined the band after Mos Hops disbanded in 1973. I Joined after Rick Best left the band to join Cheeseburger Deluxe. We practiced in North Seattle across the freeway from North Gate. The house is long gone but you can still hear the music when you drive by. It was a Tough time to be a professional musician back then. With the recession and the gas crises it made touring nearly impossible. We did a tour with a band called Scott Crazy. They did a kind of David Bowie space rock thing, when combined with our show, it was a great tour.Mark Hotton, June 2003
Stan recalled that the band they did the tour with was from Scotland and called Scott Free
