The Knickerbockers were an American rock band, formed in Bergenfield, New Jersey, United States, in 1964.[2] They were best remembered for their 1965 Beatles sound-alike hit single "Lies". The band was formed in 1962 in Bergenfield, New Jersey, by brothers Beau Charles (guitar and vocals) and John Charles (bass and vocals) (birth names: Robert and John Carlos Cecchino respectively), with fluctuating personnel until 1964, when they met Buddy Randell (vocals and sax) (birth name: William Crandall).[2] Randell was previously of the Rockin' Saints and The Royal Teens, who had a hit with "Short Shorts" in 1958. They took their name from Knickerbocker Road, which ran through the town next to theirs.[2][3]
