Originally
known as the Rebs, the group's line-up featured Robin Hunt (lead
vocals, drums), Ian Baldwin (bass), George Haywood (lead guitar), Brian
Gill (lead guitar) John Da Costa (rhythm guitar, keyboards), and Peter
Dunton (drums). In 1966, the band recorded a British
Invasion-exploitation album on RCA Records, Introducing the In-Sect
Direct from London, under the name In-Sect, with all but one of the
tracks on the piece being cover versions of contemporary pop hits. Later
in the year, the group, then known as No Flies on Us, auditioned for
Decca Records by presenting them two demos of songs with one later
appearing on the band's debut single: a rendition of Paul Revere and the
Raiders' tune "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone" and "Just Won't Do". The
Decca label negotiated a record deal with No Flies on Us after they
agreed to shorten their moniker to the Flies.
In October 1966, the
band re-recorded a psychedelic pop-oriented cover of "(I'm Not Your)
Stepping Stone", along with the new composition "Talk to Me" for the
respective A-side and B-side of their debut single. The record became a
regional hit, peaking at number 11 on the Wonderful Radio London Fab 40
charts. With a substantial following circulating around the Flies, the
group was picked up as the opening live act for popular English bands
such as the Move, the Who, and the Moody Blues. In addition, the Flies
held a prominent slot alongside the Jimi Hendrix Experience at the
popular club, the Roundhouse, in February 1967. The band became
notorious for their sometimes outrageous stage acts, particularly their
April 1967 appearance at the 14-Hour Technicolor Dream psychedelic
festival where the group arranged hundreds of bags of flour to explode
and consequently cover the unsuspecting audience. They also heckled Pink
Floyd as "sell outs" during the latter's sets at the UFO Club. By way
of retaliation, Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett included the line "I see
the Flies" in out-take solo song "Birdie Hop" (eventually released on
compilation album Opel) and used a painting of flies as the cover art
for his second solo album.
