From Montreal, Quebec, this band began life as a high school garage band in 1964 and lasted through to 1970. Original drummer David Wynne recalls:- "Like most of the other band members we had started in high school garage bands (more basement in the Canadian climate) copying the Ventures and Shadows etc, then the Beatles, Stones and Dylan. I left The Rabble in 1965, shortly after Golden Girl was written, to join The Haunted. Their first drummer, Brian Robillard then joined The Rabble..."

Their best known song was Golden Girl and their albums which were an amalgam of pop and psychedelia, are both now sought-after by collectors. The first is decidedly patchy with more rubbishy pop songs than expected (I Still Can Hear You Laughing, Black Potato and Can I Squeeze?). Golden Girl is a straight-forward but competent pop song and was their most successful 45. The album does contain three tracks which are of interest; Rising Of The Sun, a gentle laid back number with a psych-pop ending; the rather unusual The Crushing Hand Of Mother, notable for its tempo changes and psychedelic guitar work and the magnum opus The Energy Ritual, a four part pop-psych potpourri, strongly influenced in places by the Sergeant Pepper era Beatles.
