[edit] History
The Mods was started by Van Leister and Paul Narotski of Mattapan, MA. The group learned about a dozen songs and began playing in December of 1964 at the Milton Demolay, then calling themselves The Evergreens. The group later changed its name to The Mods with regular performances at local schools and churches and played a lineup that featured popular songs from The Beatles, The Everly Brothers, and others. The group opened for The Rolling Stones at Manning Bowl in Lynn in 1966 after winning a "Battle of the Bands" competition.

Harry Sandler later moved on to become the drummer for Orpheus and Van Leister and Jack Petersen served as road managers for the band.
