The Henchmen of Ogden, Utah

Henchmen Guillotine 45 Come On Let's GoThere were many bands called the Henchmen throughout the U.S. in the ’60s, but this one came from Ogden, Utah.

Gary MacShara wrote in a comment below:

The “45 … was recorded at a studio at the University of Utah.

The group consisted of 5 students from Ben Lomond High School in Ogden Utah. The members were Tom Whitimore, Rick Wessler, Paul Quigley, Gary MacShara,and lead vocalist Von Nielson.

Henchmen Guillotine 45 So LonelyThe group broke up after High School. The highlite of there career was a session with the Liverpool Five. The low point was when we took the record to a Salt Lake
radio station and the jock in the studio played it and said quote,”After reading the article in [Billboard] I expected something better.”

If anyone has more info or photos of the band, or better scans of the 45, please contact me.

Because the comments below were almost entirely about the band from Utah, I have moved the original group featured in this post to a new page.
