The Gizmos were a protopunk band that formed in Bloomington, Indiana in 1976. The original band was made up of Ken Highland, Eddie Flowers, Ted Niemiec and the members of a band called Cerberus; Rich Coffee, Dave Sulak, Rick Czajka, and Jim DeVries. The Gizmos released three 7-inch EPs on Gulcher Records in 1976, 1977, and 1978. In late 1977 the band broke up. Then Ted Niemiec recruited new members to form a new version of the Gizmos. This version of the band released one EP, "Never Mind The Sex Pistols Here's The Gizmos". After Niemiec left the band, new member Dale Lawrence carried on using the band name with new members.〔〔〔〔〔 ==After the Gizmos== Ken Highland later relocated to Boston, Massachusetts, where he has been in a long string of garage-oriented bands over the years, including the Hopelessly Obscure, Johnny & the Jumper Cables, the Kenne Highland Clan, The Goody Goody Gumdrops, and the Vatican Sex Kittens.
