KENNY AND THE KASUALS.The musical group Kenny and the Kasuals came together in 1964 and is recognized as one of the most seminal and long-lasting Texas rock and roll bands from the 1960s. The band is also considered to be one of the first pioneers of the psychedelic era.
The group that would become Kenny and the Kasuals first met in the living room of Kenneth B. (Kenny) Daniel. Encouraged to play music by his musician father (who had a big-band group called the Ed Daniel Orchestra in the 1930s), Daniel and his Bryan Adams High School classmate Tommy Nichols called themselves the Illusions Combo. Both boys played electric guitar and both sang, with Tommy Nichols taking the role of front person. Soon they added two neighborhood friends, Blaine Young (drums) and Charles Beverly (bass). As the Illusions Combo, the four high school students played for backyard parties, dances, and other small local events, as Daniel and Nichols kept their eye out for bigger opportunities.
The primary venue for Kenny and the Kasuals was the Studio Club in Dallas, owned by Larry Levine (founder of the Chili's restaurant chain). One memorable evening, according to the band, started out as usual when they were all relaxing backstage before one of their regular shows. Someone at the club walked in and informed them that there was an English band in the front room asking if they could play a few songs before Kenny and the Kasuals went on; Kenny and the Kasuals agreed. The band was in the United States for one of their first national tours and was in town to play a show at Dallas Memorial Auditorium; the group was the Yardbirds, with Jimmy Page on bass and Jeff Beck on lead guitar.
