British heavy rock band which emanated around 1969-1970 from Black Cat Bones. (Early incarnations of Black Cat Bones featured guitarist Paul Kossoff and drummer Simon Kirke who both left to form Free while guitarist Rod Price left to join Foghat.) At this point the band consisted of Peter French on vocals, Mick Halls on guitar, the brothers Derek & Stuart Brooks on guitar and bass respecitively, and Keith George-Young on drums.
They recorded Growers Of Mushroom at Spot Studios in Mayfair, London in late 1970. Shortly after the Brooks brothers departed and Ron Thomas filled in on bass when the band toured Europe as a four piece. They released the Drowned My Life In Fear single and the Leaf Hound album in Germany on Telefunken. Growers Of Mushroom album was released shortly after on Decca, featuring all of the tracks on the self-titled album. By this time French had already departed to join Atomic Rooster for their album In Hearing Of ; he would also later join American hard rock band Cactus.
In 2004 Peter French put together a new incarnation of the band, which led to a 7" single and an LP.
