Contrary to popular belief, The Other Half "did not promptly disappear leaving no trace of their history or whereabouts after they
secured their immortality by releasing their sole 45 on the now legendary Orlyn label." We continued to perform until early 1980 albeit
a new member here and there as well as three different female vocalists throughout our later years.

A 1960's Garage Band Tribute Website dedicated to The Other Half of Chicago, IL, it's members and family, and all the folks who enjoyed our music between 1965 and 1980.
" When you're on stage, the audience becomes your other half. It's the ultimate high you can reach as a musician - an
incredible feeling. And no matter where I am it's the same; there's a reason we call music the universal language."
