The Drag Set

British mod psych rock band, later renamed to The Open Mind. The Drag Set, originally named The Apaches, was formed around 1965 by four musicians from Putney, South London, Tim du Feu, Mike Brancaccio, Philip Fox and their friend Ray Nye. Nye left in 1965 and another friend, Terry Martin a.k.a. Terry Schindler, took Nye's place in the band. After a series of 1965 gigs at the Pontiac Club in Putney, The Drag Set went on to play all the leading mid-60s Swingin London clubs like the Bag O'Nails and Speakeasy. They recorded a couple of songs with Joe Meek just a few days before the maverick producer committed suicide. The two tracks was issued in March 1967 on the GO label, but failed to garner too much attention, and by the end of the year The Drag Set had changed their name to The Open Mind.
