The Deviants

About

UK 'underground' band of the 1960's based in Ladbroke Grove, London, and founded by journalist & singer/songwriter Mick Farren. Originally named The Social Deviants, but later shortened to The Deviants with a line-up of Farren (vocals), Sid Bishop (guitar), Cord Rees (bass) and Russell Hunter (drums). Rees was subsequently replaced by Duncan Sanderson, and Paul Rudolph later replaced Bishop. The band were occasionally billed as Mick Farren & The Deviants, trading on Farren's journalistic popularity and 'street cred'.


In 1970, following an American tour, Rudolph, Sanderson and Hunter formed The Pink Fairies with Twink from The Pretty Things.
