About

Danish prog-rock band, renamed from Rainbow Band in July 1971 due to legal issues. First recording under the new name was the single King Of The Sun / Nickles & Dimes, a minor hit in Europe. The bands first album Midnight Sun, released worldwide the same year, is essentially the third version of the debut album of Rainbow Band. In January 1972, lead vocalist Allan Mortensen was replaced by [a=Frank Lauridsen], and in May bassist Bo Stief was replaced by Jens Elbøl. Second album Walking Circles was recorded spring 1972 released in Europe in September. The big international breakthrough the band was hoping for didn't materialize, and their next single Kul På featured Danish vocals and was a comment to Denmark joining the EEC. Third album [r=2595390] was recorded in autumn 1973 and released in May 1974. The band played their last concert in October 1974 before disbanding.
