Initially called the Bodacious Motherfuckers, OK Dingy were formed in Te Kuiti in the late-1960s after the members moved to a commune there from Ponsonby. The first stable lineup comprised Todd Hunter (vocals), Ray Goodwin (guitar) and Div Vercoe (drums). Influences included Miles Davis. The Greatful Dead and The Beatles. The band played regular gigs at Waikato University during this time. Successive drugs busts moved the band to Eureka and then Hamilton (a house on Lake Road). However, they eventually moved to Auckland where the band eventually evolved into Dragon (Hunter and Goodwin). Vercoe was briefly a member of Split Enz.
