The Critters were a successful American pop group with several hits in the 1960s. The group formed in New Jersey in 1964 when singer-guitarist Don Ciccone and saxophonist Bob Podstawski joined local group the Vibratones. They named themselves The Critters in emulation of similar band names like The Animals. Originally signed to Musicor Records by Jimmy Radcliffe, who also produced their first release "Georgianna" backed with "I'm Gonna Give" in 1964 they eventually signed with Kapp Records, and, in 1964, recorded John Sebastian's song "Younger Girl" for their first release. The song was selected for the band by Kapp producer Artie Ripp. However, because Ciccone, Ryan and Podstawski were then all accepted at Villanova University, the record was not completed until late 1965. "Younger Girl" became a minor pop hit in early 1966, followed by Ciccone's song "Mr. Dieingly Sad". The group had their final chart hit with "Don't Let The Rain Fall Down On Me" in 1967. After recording several singles and one album, the original band split up when Podstawski, Ciccone and Decker joined the armed services, and Darway left for art college. Ryan and Gorka then attempted to maintain the group with new members for some time. Later, Ryan recorded and toured with Carly Simon before working as a studio guitarist. Ciccone joined Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, and later toured with Tommy James and the Shondells. Gorka now owns "The Bitter End" pub in Greenwich Village (NY).
