1977 / 1978

- Singer/guitarist/keyboardist Jack Hues and singer/bassist/guitarist/keyboardist Nick Feldman met for the first time after Jack Hues responded to an advertisement that Nick Feldman placed in the classifieds of the weekly British music press, Melody Maker. Prompted by the freedom of the exploding punk music movement in England, they first played together in an avant-garde group called "The Intellektuals", which was together from mid '77 to late '78 approximately. The group included Jack Hues (guitar/vocals), Nick Feldman (guitar/vocals), Bud Merrick (bass guitar), and the late Paul Hammond (drummer - formerly of the rock band "Atomic Rooster").

- November 6, 1978 - Intellektuals gig at The Rock Garden at Covent Garden, London.

1979

- After "The Intellektuals" split up, drummer Darren Costin, bass player Leigh Gorman (who later joined the group "Bow Wow Wow"), and lead singer Glenn Gregory (now with the group "Heaven 17") joined Jack and Nick after meeting them while in the same rehearsal studio in the East End of London. They were all part of a little scene based in a studio in London's East End, called Easy Street. The band was then reborn under the name "57 Men". Some songs they performed include: "I Wanna be an Object", "Disco Dave", "Don't Reac't", "Cheap Emotions", "Disco Dave's Dream" and many more. After playing around England for a year and a half trying to get a record deal, "57 Men" split up.
