The Royal Family (11)

4-piece band formed in 1965 in Edmonton, Alberta, who released two singles on the Apex label. After touring and recording for a while it became apparent that Apex was pushing them towards a more pop-sound, something the band members did not wish to do. 3 of the band's members, Rob Edwards (guitar), Rumor (Ron) Lukaweitski (bass), and Michael Richards (drums), then decided to split to form Troyka (3).
