The Formation of The Colors


Year

1958


Story

By this stage drummer Woody Oaks and Jemima Snow (who had started a secret relationship with bass player Derek Bounty) had joined the band. They all came up with the name, The Colors. None of these tunes were ever recorded, and no charts or lyric sheets remain. It is rumoured the name The Colors was perhaps inspired by the multiculturalism of the band, or by the inner images created when one rubs their eyes. Or perhaps it was because 'moler' means 'painter' in Yiddish. Or perhaps it was the pretty colours seen during hallucinations. Or playing on the fact that both the Moler brothers were colour-blind. Or perhaps from the colourful dresses that Jemima was renowned for wearing around Manhattan.
