History The Caretakers

There are, at least, three bands known as The Caretakers:

1) 60s garage rock band (from San Bernadino, CA, USA tag as Caretakers), who released four singles, on three labels. Best known for their cover of East Side Story (Bob Seger). Bruce Robertson (lead singer), went on to record a rare psychedelic LP, as Garrett Lund.

2) A Hamilton, ON, Canada act which began as a song-writing studio project, then evolved into a live folk rock act. In the studio, it's more of a folk rock act on steroids! Jeffrey C. Martin, the group's lead singer/songwriter, says: "The début single, Mr Harper How?, was written as a musical response to the political dysfunction of the current Canadian government & to the prime minister's hegemonic infatuation, with individualistic American-type values."
