EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND
EDGAR BROUGHTON, STEVE BROUGHTON, ARTHUR GRANT
Originally from Warwick, The Edgar Broughton Band were an important part
of the underground scene in the late sixties and early seventies.
The Edgar Broughton Band's vocal style was undoubtedly
influenced by the growling Captain Beefheart

Edgar’s growling voice was similar to that of Captain Beefheart and they regularly featured his ‘Dropout Boogie’ in their act.
Following their arrival in London they played at a number of small club gigs arranged by Blackhill Enterprises.
They were given a wider audience by playing at the famous Blind Faith free concert in Hyde Park in June 1969,
where the Broughtons incited the crowd to a frenzy with an exhaustive rendition of the favourite, ‘Out Demons Out’.
Establishing themselves as an unholy collision between the still-nascent Pink Fairies and the legendary Fugs,
the debut album by British free-festival favorites the Edgar Broughton Band almost literally re-created the spirit of their natural territory
-- a muddy field full of sunbaked hippies -- with eight more or less epic tracks that, though their inspiration has long become
the stuff of ancient history, remain essential listening to all but the most jaded ears...(AllMusic)
