Seventh Wave (band)

Seventh Wave was an English psychedelic and progressive rock duo formed in the mid-1970s. The band was formed by Ken Elliott (keyboards, vocals) and Kieran O'Connor (percussion), both of whom had been members of earlier progressive rock groups Second Hand and Chillum. Produced by future Motörhead producer Neil Richmond and signed to the UK based label Gull, and distributed by Motown in the US alongside other UK bands of the day such as If and Judas Priest, Seventh Wave released their first album, Things to Come, in 1974. Joined by other musicians, including Pete Lemer, Hugh Banton (organist of Van der Graaf Generator), Steve Cook, Brian Gould, Tony Elliott, Pepi Lemer, and Rob Elliott, for their second album, Psi-Fi (1975), the band enjoyed a brief success but broke up after the US tour promoting the album.
