The initial line-up were known as The 4 Strangers with Eric Connell on bass guitar, Dannie Davidson on drums, Gary Johns on rhythm guitar and Alex "Zac" Zytnik on lead guitar. At the end of 1964 Johns was replaced by Lindsay Bjerre on guitar and vocals as they trimmed their name to The Strangers. By late 1965 they had become The Sunsets.
