Dick Biondi also hired Mickey & the Invaders on tours of Job Corps camps. The shows would have a comedian, female dancers, and a pre-Three Dog Night Chuck Negron, then billed as Chuck Oberon. Mickey & the Invaders would do their set and back Chuck Negron. On each tour they would do two or three shows a day in different places for a couple of weeks. They hit Job Corps sites in California, Oregon, Nevada, Montana, and Wyoming. Simon remembers one camp that was all women where the band was mobbed like the Beatles.
