Biography

Flower Travellin' Band were a Tokyo psychedelic rock band relaunched in 1969 by producer *Yuya Uchida* around singer Joe Yamanaka and guitarist Hideki Ishima. Their 1971 suite 'Satori' fused raga, progressive rock and early heavy metal and remains a landmark of Japanese rock. After splitting in 1973, the classic lineup reunited in 2007, released 'We Are Here', and ended for good with Yamanaka's death in 2011.
