Uppa.co.uk - The Human Instinct. New Zealand pop Group.The Human Instinct had its origins with 1950s pop band the Four Fours, formed in Tauranga in 1958 by drummer Trevor Spitz. Lead guitarist Bill Ward joined in 1959 and former police cadet Dave Hartstone became rhythm guitarist in 1960. Frank Hay a friend of the band was taught to play bass and the foursome, rapidly became one of the most sought after bands in the country.In mid-1966 Maurice Greer, then fronting his own band The Saints, was asked to try out. He had his first group at age 14-years and was billed as ¿the teenage wonder drummer¿. In August 1966 they said farewell to New Zealand as support act for the Rolling Stones and The Searchers taking up residency on the Fairsky to pay their way to London. But the times were changing and the boys knew they needed a more catchy name. "We knew we needed to ¿hep it up¿ a bit. We wrote down names, put them in a hat and pulled out Human Instinct," says Maurice Greer.The band landed a residency at The Marquee Club supporting the Jeff Beck Band, then the Small Faces, Spencer Davis Group, the Moody Blues, Manfred Mann and Cat Stevens. The band also supported Roy Orbison and Jimi Hendrix sat in for the Peddlers for two weeks and a short residency at Hugh Hefner¿s Playboy Club.
