Orange Bicycle was a British psychedelic pop band that pedaled onto the music scene during the late 1960s and early 1970s, striving to gain traction in a period rich with cultural and musical experimentation. The group was known for its mellow and harmonious sound, which echoed the psych-pop sentiments of the era, often infusing their music with a whimsical, sunny-side-up vibe that distinctly marked their style. They navigated the musical landscape with a blend of original compositions and cover songs, the latter of which often featured imaginative reinterpretations that set them apart from other acts covering the same material.
Their self-titled album "Orange Bicycle" stands as a testimony to their work, showcasing the quintessential elements of their music. The band experienced moderate success and enjoyed a cult-like following, which has been revitalized in recent years through the release of their music to a new generation of listeners. The "The Orange Bicycle Deluxe Version" offers a comprehensive look at their music, enriched with extra tracks that paint a fuller picture of their artistic journey. Despite not achieving the dizzying heights of stardom, sessions like "Tony Brandon Session [16th July 1969]", "Dave Cash Session [7th January 1970]", "Dave Cash Session [1st October 1969]", and "Terry Wogan Session [6th April 1970]" recorded for popular radio shows of their time, bear witness to a band that found joy in the creative process and sought to share that joy with their audience. Orange Bicycle remains a cherished gem for enthusiasts of the psychedelic pop genre and continues to ride through the annals of British pop music history.
