A yearly tradition that brings the heart of US back to the table

Each year, the original bandmates come together for a relaxed lunch that feels less like an event and more like stepping back into a cherished moment in time. Surrounded by familiar faces, old stories, and the laughter that only lifelong friends can share, this gathering keeps the band’s spirit alive in the most genuine way.

What began as a simple meet-up has grown into a meaningful ritual — a chance to reconnect, revisit memories of late-night rehearsals, local gigs, and teenage dreams, and celebrate the bond that carried the group through the vibrant 1960s Los Angeles music scene. Even though the instruments aren’t always in hand, the energy, camaraderie, and storytelling never fade. These lunches honor not just the music, but the friendship that started it all.
