They appeared on stage in their scruffiest street clothes, their hair matted in unkempt disarray. ![]() You could be forgiven for believing such establishments produced considerably more musicians than visual artists in the early 60s. They were safe houses for dissenting and disaffected youth with a passion for raw, visceral, primal and uncompromising self expression. They found these values distilled in esoteric black American music: blues, RB and Soul, which they considered somehow purer, closer to the source, than the rock roll it helped inspire. Dick (the Beard) Taylor was a fellow student of Keith Richards at Sidcup Art College in 1963 and an original member of the Rolling Stones. Initially the lead guitarist, Taylor appears to have taken um-bridge at being relegated to bass duties when Brian Jones was taken on board. Pretty Things Silk Torpedo Rar Software Plus John StaxThe Pretties were recruited shortly thereafter in the shape of Phil May(another Sidcup student) plus John Stax, Brian Pendleton and Viv Prince. All were local lads from the surrounding Kent area, and had known one another through their formative years. The bands music from the outset was an unashamedly earthy, raucous and raw take on the inspiration provided by Bo Diddley, Jimmy Reed, Fats Domino and Chuck Berry.

Sound familiar (I could be describing a Punk band here and how many groups can you name that intuited the former AND Progressive Rock within one career) Given that the Pretty Things enjoyed considerable UK chart success with early singles such as Rosalyn, Dont Bring Me Down and Honey I Need, their managements decision not to tour the band in the USA seems in hindsight, like a huge missed opportunity. Founded in London, UK in 1963 - Disbanded in 1976 - Reformed on several ocasions with different line-ups - Reunited in 1994 - Farewell tour announced for 2018 Like so many groups who formed the backbone of the burgeoning RB movement in the UK, the roots of the Pretty Things can be traced to an unlikely source: British Art Schools.
