THE WATER BROTHERS
Homer was a popular band in the San Antonio area and hung in there until 1974; by that time, the line-up was Don Evans (vocals and drums), Chet Himes (bass), Van Wilks (guitar) and Galen Niles (guitar). Niles recalls: "Man, that was a smokin' band then – the fact was, the only reason we had a vocalist was to take up some space between the guitar solos."
Don Evans had earlier been in a band called the Waters Brothers; fellow bandmember Robert Galindo (whose brother, Dan Galindo was the bass player for the 13th Floor Elevators) describes their music as "freestyle psychedelic blues/raga/fusion".
