ReplyDeleteFlash was an English progressive rock group, formed by former Yes guitarist Peter Banks, vocalist Colin Carter, bassist Ray Bennett, and drummer Mike Hough in August 1971.
The band released three albums, Flash (1972), In the Can (1972 Nov.) and Out of Our Hands (1973).
Flash were signed with Sovereign, a subsidiary of Capitol Records. The debut LP sold in excess of 100,000 copies. They toured North America a total of four times, and Continental Europe (Netherlands, Belgium and Germany) once, in early 1972, while regularly playing gigs in their native UK, including a joint tour with Beck, Bogert & Appice in 1973.
Flash also did a brief tour of Australia, while making their third album. Without consulting the band, and to everyone's dismay, including Banks', Capitol released the third album under the name Flash – featuring England's Peter Banks, to avoid a legal challenge from another local band named 'Flash', and to help promote Banks' solo album Two Sides of Peter Banks (1973) which was released on Capitol almost concurrently.
Flash disbanded during an American tour in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in November 1973.
