The rock group The Fourmyula had success in the late 1960s, with many of their singles reaching the New Zealand Top 20. Their best-known hit was "Nature" which reached No. 1 in December 1969, and in 2001 was voted first in the "Top 100 New Zealand Songs of All Time" (See Wikipedia)

The Pleasers was a popular music group recording and performing in the mid-1960s. Members included Max Thomson, Bryan Layton, Kevan Walsh and Roger Skinner. The Audioculture website has an entertaining account of the band's formation. It is hardly surprising to discover that the band played at the Auckland venue known as the Beatle Inn, set up by promoter Phil Warren. However they later went on to perform on the TV programme "Let's Go" in Wellington, and absorbed influences from other bands.
