"The Darelyks (Syracuse, NY)"; cool, not being a child of the '60s I'd never heard of them, so I turned to Google and got the conflicting information that they were from Fairport, a Rochester suburb. Either way, it's good--Upstate represents! (And I understand some "gooey" group from Buffalo made it big too.)
And sorry for not including in my mention of Ronnie James Dio and his eponymous band the fact that my Upstate burg actually did him the singular honor--in about the most Cortland way possible--of renaming a street after one of its most famous sons: a 287-foot long thoroughfare bounded on the east by exactly zero properties and on the west by one entire side of a factory, among the few still in operation here and renowned for producing a lot of those little bottles of shampoo you find in hotel rooms. Enjoy this travelogue, shot on a day when the weather was relatively nice here:
Dio Way! Ha! It's beautiful! Man, I wish I was there right now, actually!!!
Hey, I'm not a child of the 60s (other than being born in '69), but even if I was......the Darelyks are about as obscure as you get,! I just know this track from collecting garage and psych stuff. There's a great compilation called "Psychedelic States", they have two just for New York bands, and tell you which town each band came from, I'll bet you could find some other Cortland obscurities.
