The Count Five Discography
The Count Five were a San Jose group who had a top ten hit in 1966 with single Psychotic Reaction, a song that subsequently became a garage band standard and ensured that the group will be remembered in rock music history. The group were formed, originally as the Squires, in the early 1960's by two high school students John Michalski and Roy Chaney. After a few personnel changes the group comprised the two founders plus Sean Byrne, Butch Atkinson and Kenn Ellner, and this line-up adopted the Count Five name in 1964. The group were eventually signed to Double Shot records and released the Psychotic Reaction single in 1966. One album was released to follow up the success of the single and a number of other singles were released over the next couple of years but with no further success. The group split up in 1969 but have reunited briefly on occasions over the years.
