Chicago Hush

Group active in Birmingham from mid 1967 to early 1968, chiefly notable for the presence of Dave Ball (Procul Harum, Bedlam) and his brother Dennis (Bedlam). They are mentioned in Dave Balls autobiography where he recalls running into Procul Harum in Carnaby Street in 1967 while buying clothes. Ironically they covered Whiter Shade of Pale and the three self-composed tracks on their EP reflect that sound, although the guitar is tougher. Their EP is one of the rarest artefacts of the UK psychedelic scene, between 20-25 copies made in a custom printed flimsy PS. It was only rediscovered in August 2022.
