The Fun And Games evolved out a Houston, Texas group, the Six Pents. Several members -- Rock Romano (guitar/vocals), Mike Cemo (drums), Paul Guillet (lead guitar), and John T. Bonno (bass) -- had played together in a high school band before joining forces with Richard Bain (vocals), D.J. Greer (piano), Sam Irwin (vocals/tambourine) and Carson Graham (drums). In 1964-1965, they became the house band at Houston's La Maison club, and recorded at Andrus Studios in Houston. After their first single, the Six Pents became The Sixpentz, and signed with Mainstream Records. The Sixpentz released two singles on Brent, a subsidiary of Mainstream (the label also released material by Word, who became Euphoria after they moved to L.A.). Eventually, the Sixpentz learned there was already a band called Sixpence, so, to avoid future confusion, they decided another name change was due, and became the Fun And Games Commission.
