Alongside contemporaries Pink Floyd and The Soft Machine, Tomorrow are considered one of the leading lights of the late sixties London psyche scene, but failed to have the success of the former or influence of the latter. Not that this detracts from the quality of their music, the small amount that exists, and they produced one definite classic in "My White Bicycle." Cutting their teeth in R & B outfits such as Four Plus One, The Fairies and The Syndicats, Keith West (vocals), Steve Howe (guitar), John 'Junior' Wood (bass) and John "Twink" Alder (drums), left their roots behind and headed in a whole new direction. As The In Crowd the foursome released three credible mod singles on Parlephone, but once they became Tomorrow in 1966, something in the air or something they were taking sent them into the stratosphere. Their first effort with the new moniker was the fabulous My White Bicycle (1966), with crazed backwards guitar and lyrics extolling the virtues of Amsterdam's fabled free method of transportation. The single sold well and soon the band were a big draw at underground London clubs such as UFO. But problems occurred when West released his solo effort Excerpt From A Teenage Opera (1967), with a much more mainstream sound that sold boatloads. The band lost some momentum with the vocalist dividing his time between the two ventures. They did find time, however, to release one fine self titled album (1968), featuring great production and amazing songs such as the gentle "Hallucinations" and the catchy "Revolution." But time was up for Tomorrow. West focused on his solo career, Howe went on to form Yes while Twink beat the traps in The Pretty Things.
