King Fox Formed: 1967, Sydney, NSW, Australia Disbanded: 1972 Members: Billy Field (vocals, bass, guitar) Paul Radcliffe (vocals, guitar, flute, piano, Mellotron) David King (vocals, guitar, harmonica) Peter Muller (vocals, organ, piano) Andy Evans (drums) History King Fox is one of the archetypal Australian "could have been" bands. This young group, bursting with talent, emerged at the very end of the Sixties as psychedelia was evolving into progressive rock. They enjoyed a brief burst of fame and success in 1969 after they won a local band competition, which led to their superb debut single "Unforgotten Dreams" becoming a major hit in their hometown of Sydney. King Fox would almost certainly have gone on to greater things if the band had endured, but unfortunately it came to an abrupt end early in 1970, only days after completing the recording of the tracks for their planned first LP. Despite the band's premature demise, "Unforgotten Dreams" remains a much-admired and groundbreaking Aussie record, long acknowledged as one of the classics of Australian 'psych/prog' genre -- Ian McFarlane rates it alongside Russell Morris' "The Real Thing" and The Dave Miller Set's "Mr Guy Fawkes" -- it's been featured on several major compilations of Australian '60s pop-rock including Festival's So You Want To Be A Rock'n'Roll Star, Raven's Sixties Downunder (Vol.2) and Ace's Peculiar Hole In The Sky.The nucleus of King Fox was multi-instrumentalist Paul Radcliffe and guitarist Dave King
