Description
Pete Brown & Piblokto! 'The Art School Dance Goes On For Ever' , 'Thousands On A Raft', 'My Last Band' & Pete Brown 'The Not Forgotten Association'
BIO*** One of the key eccentrics of the Harvest stable and a successful collaborative lyricist for Cream ("I Feel Free," "Sunshine of Your Love"), poet/percussionist/vocalist/trumpet player Pete Brown was one of the many artists to arise from the British beat movement in the mid- to late '60s. Like a lot of his peers, Brown's spin on progressive rock came from backgrounds in folk, jazz, and blues. Brown was kicking around the scene as a poet until being approached by Cream to assist in songwriting. Upon achieving chart success with the trio, Brown decided to go the musician route. Graham Bond asked Brown to help out with some songs for the Graham Bond Organisation , and he was eventually invited to sing with the group on-stage. Once they broke up, Brown helped form the Battered Ornaments , hoping to work with musicians whose skills didn't dwarf his own. The group fell in with Harvest, the progressive subsidiary of EMI that housed the likes of Syd Barrett ,Deep Purple , and Roy Harper .The Battered Ornaments ' only record with Brown, A Meal You Can Shake Hands With in the Dark , was released in 1969. The Battered Ornaments booted Brown from the band on the night prior to a supporting gig for the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park; his vocals on the recording of the group's second record were eventually wiped off. The sacked singer immediately set about forming Piblokto! , a group that, for 1970's Things May Come and Things May Go But the Art School Dance Goes on Forever , comprised bassist Roger Bunn , guitarist Jim Mullen , organist Dave Thompson , and Battered Ornaments drummer Rob Tait .Bunn was replaced by Steve Glover for Thousands on a Raft , which was released six months after the debut. Another shake up in the lineup predated the final Piblokto! release, the single "Flying Hero Sandwich."
