Bowie formed his first band, the Konrads, in 1962 at the age of 15 under his birth name David Jones. Konrads playing guitar-based rock and roll at local youth gatherings and weddings, the Konrads had a varying line-up of between four and eight members. Bowie's childhood friend, George Underwood among them, as well as drummer Dave Crook and guitarist Neville Wills. Later members of the Konrads included drummer Dave Hadfield, bassist Rocky Shahan and vocalists Roger Ferris and Christine & Stella Patton, He left the Konrads after disagreements over musical styles while recording.[1]

Following the Konrads he was a member of a trio called the Hooker Brothers, or Dave's Reds and Blues with Underwood on guitar and harmonica, Bowie (still under the name Davie Jones) on vocals and saxophone and drummer Viv Andrews. This band existed from July to November 1963.[2] He started his solo career in with the single "Liza Jane" which was credited to Davie Jones with the King Bees, a band which included Jones and Underwood and also lead guitarist Roger Bluck, bassist Dave Howard and drummer Robert Allen.[3]

Mighall later left the band and was replaced by Phil Lancaster. The band fell apart later that year.[5] Jones changed his stage name to David Bowie to disambiguate himself from Davy Jones on The Monkees.[6] Under his new moniker, he started a band called David Bowie and the Buzz, in 1966, the core members of the Buzz were bass guitarist Derek "Dek" Fearnley, keyboard player Derek "Chow" Boyes, and drummer John "Ego" Eager,[7] with earlier guitarists being John Hutchinson[8] and Billy Bray. The band later broke up in November of the same year.[9] The Lower Third contributed to Bowie self-titled debut album in 1967, alongside session musician Big Jim Sullivan.
