In 1967 Drummer Dean Nimmer, Jay Borkenhagen, bassist Rick Bieniewski, guitarist Jacques Hutchinson, formed The Baroques, a band that challenged the sonic conventions and industry norms of the time. After signing to Chess Records, a then exclusively black Rhythm and Blues label responsible for likes of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, they quickly cut their self-titled and overlooked classic album. The album, which is rumored to have locally outsold the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper in 1967, brought acclaim, groupies and gigs. But despite local success, the band quickly dissolved, it's members scattering across the nation. Dean Nimmer went on to become an esteemed artist and professor.
