Lineups

In 1962, the band Mysterians formed with an original lineup of Larry Borjas

 on bass guitar,Borjas's cousin Robert Balderrama on guitar, and

Robert Martinez on guitars and bongos.Shortly after their forming,

 Martinez switched to drums. The Mysterians played instrumental music

 inspired by surf music groups and artists like Link Wray. Rudy Martinez,

Robert's brother, joined the band shortly thereafter as Question Mark,

 the lead singer. The band was now called Question Mark and

the Mysterians. These Mexican-American musicians came from

 the Saginaw, Michigan, except for Rudy Martinez who hailed 

from Flint, Michigan.Just before the band was scheduled

 to start recording, Robert Martinez was drafted into the 

U.S. Armed Forces and Borjas decided to enlistwith him. The band

 then recruited Eddie Serrato to replace Robert Martinez on drums

 and Frank Lugo to replace Borjas on bass guitar. The band also

 added fourteen-year-old Frank Rodriguez on keyboards, 

forming the classic "96 Tears"' lineup.
