ReplyDeleteOrange Bicycle was an English psychedelic pop band, which existed between 1967 and 1971.
The band played a style influenced by The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and the hippie counter culture.
Previously, they acted as support, and backing band for the duo Paul and Barry Ryan as well as completing sessions for other vocalists, recording over 100 BBC Radio One sessions and appearing on UK TV.
The first single from Orange Bicycle, "Hyacinth Threads", was a record chart #1 hit single in France, and quite successful in some other European countries. It was their best known recording, and has appeared on numerous compilations.
In 1968 the band started to cover The Rolling Stones' "Sing This Song All Together". The same year they performed at the Isle of Wight Festival on a line-up that included Jefferson Airplane, The Move, T-Rex, Fairport Convention, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and The Pretty Things.
In July 1969, they appeared on BBC Two's television programme, Colour Me Pop. Their most successful album, Orange Bicycle, included covers of "Carry That Weight", "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You", "Say You Don't Mind" and "Take Me to the Pilot".
Finally, in 1970, the band released their first LP entitled The Orange Bicycle but the psychedelic style was considered out of fashion.
The band broke up in 1971.
