Unusually for a band, the actual date of conception for the Bonzos is known to us: September 25th, 1962. It was on that day that Vivian Stanshall (tuba, but later lead vocals along with other wind instruments) and fellow art student Rodney Slater (saxaphone) bonded over a transatlantic broadcast of a boxing match between Floyd Patterson and Sonny Liston.
