Orang-Utan

British Psychedelic Rock Band

Orang-Utan was a one-off British rock band that surfaced in the early 1970s. They were part of the heavy psych-rock scene and released a self-titled album, "Orang-Utan," in 1971. The group was comprised of musicians who had played in various bands before coming together to record this album. Despite the quality of their work and the raw energy captured in their music, Orang-Utan did not achieve significant commercial success during their brief existence. The band's album has since become a collector's item, appreciated by aficionados of the genre for its heavy guitar riffs and strong vocal performances. After their short-lived career, the members of Orang-Utan went their separate ways, and the band dissolved. The album has been reissued several times over the years, reflecting a growing interest in this obscure but noteworthy chapter of British rock history.
