Kenny and the Kasuals are an American, Dallas-area garage band originally founded in 1962, whose earliest records are considered "among the most collectable LPs of the '60s". The band was formed at Bryan Adams High School in Dallas, Texas, by Kenny Daniel, and was managed by Mark Lee, who later opened Dallas' punk club, The Hot Klub. In 1967, their self-released single Journey To Tyme garnered some national radio airplay, including the Number One spot in both Buffalo and Pittsburgh, and the Top Ten on Dallas station KLIF.
Prior to recording Journey To Tyme, the band had released an album titled The IMPACT Sound of Kenny and the Kasuals Live At the Studio Club (although it was neither live nor recorded at the Studio Club). Only 500 copies of this album were pressed, and nearly half of those destroyed by Texas summer heat, but the remaining copies have become some of the most sought-after vinyl records of the 1960s. In 2010, a very-good condition copy sold for over $2,100 at auction.
The band broke up after management troubles led to a failure to sign with United Artist Records. However, in the late 1970s Daniel reformed Kenny and the Kasuals as a more punkoriented band. The Impact album had, in bootleg form, become a hot-seller in France, and the new band took advantage of this buzz to tour as openers for such acts as Patti Smith, Iggy Pop and The Boomtown Rats.
