Tomorrow

Tomorrow (previously known as The In Crowd and before that as Four Plus One) were a 1960s psychedelic rock band. They were among the first psychedelic bands in England along with Pink Floyd and Soft Machine. The band released two singles, one of which, "My White Bicycle", was later covered by heavy rock act Nazareth, and as a novelty record by Neil the Hippy (Nigel Planer) of The Young Ones TV series. According to drummer John 'Twink' Alder, the song was inspired by the Dutch Provos, an anarchist group in Amsterdam which instituted a community bicycle program: "they had white bicycles in Amsterdam and they used to leave them around the town. And if you were going somewhere and you needed to use a bike, you'd just take the bike and you'd go somewhere and just leave it. Whoever needed the bikes would take them and leave them when they were done."  Tomorrow's September 1967 single "Revolution" influenced the Beatles to produce the same title track, although a completely different song, a year later. Tomorrow singer Keith West is perhaps better known as a participant in Mark Wirtz's Teenage Opera project that gave him a solo hit single "Excerpt from a Teenage Opera (Grocer Jack)" and brief commercial success. Guitarist Steve Howe later joined progressive rock band Yes, whilst Twink joined The Pretty Things on their concept album, S.F. Sorrow, before forming The Pink Fairies.

Links To Peel
Despite critical acclaim and support from DJ John Peel who featured them on his "Perfumed Garden" radio show, the band was not a great success in commercial terms. Tomorrow recorded the first ever John Peel show session on BBC Radio One on 21 September 1967. The session was first broadcast on 01 October 1967, where Peel made his premier on BBC Radio One  for the Top Gear show.
