Python Lee Jackson were formed in December 1965 in Sydney by two men from the United Kingdom – Frank Kennington and Mick Liber (born 1 March 1944, [[Peebles, Scotland]]) – and David Montgomery (born September 1945, Melbourne) on drums (ex-[[Jeff St John|Jeff St John & the Id]]). Both Liber, on guitar, and Kennington, on vocals, were former members of the Denvermen, a surf instrumental group in Sydney, from mid-1965 and contributed to that group's single, "I Can Tell" (November).<ref name="Kimball">{{cite web | archiveurl = http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/35967/20100315-0848/www.milesago.com/artists/denvermen-2.html | url = http://www.milesago.com/Artists/friends.html | title = The Denvermen | last1 = Kimball | first1 = Duncan | publisher = Milesago: Australasian Music and Popular Culture 1964–1975.

With Roy James on bass guitar, Python Lee Jackson played the underground circuit. In early 1966, Kennington was deported to the UK, and former [[the Missing Links]] singer, Bob Brady, filled in for several months before Liber and Montgomery put a new line-up together. In March 1966 keyboard player and singer, David Bentley (born 1943, Brisbane), left Jeff St John & the Id to join his old bandmate, Montgomery, alongside Liber, together with former Unit 4 bass player, Lloyd Hardy (a.k.a. "Cadillac" Lloyd Hudson).<ref name="McFarlane">{{cite book | last1 = McFarlane | first1 = Ian | authorlink1 = Ian McFarlane | title = [[Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop]] | chapter = Encyclopedia entry for 'Python Lee Jackson' | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20040806231537/http://www.whammo.com.au/encyclopedia.asp?articleid=660 | chapterurl = http://www.whammo.com.au/encyclopedia.asp?articleid=660 | year = 1999 | publisher = [[Allen & Unwin]] | ___location = [[St Leonards, New South Wales|St Leonards, NSW]] | archivedate = 6 August 2004 | isbn = 1-86508-072-1 | deadurl = yes | df = dmy-all }}</ref><ref name="Lewes"/>
