Flower Travellin' Band

Japanese rock band formed in 1970 from the remains of Yuya Uchida and The Flowers.

The band was made up of Joe Yamanaka (vocals) from 4.9.1, Hideki Ishima (guitars) from The Beavers, Jun Kobayashi (bass) from TaxMan, and George Wada (drums) from The Flowers. By the end of 1970, they had relocated to Toronto, Canada and lived there until March of 1972. In April 1973, the band split up, but they reunited in January 2008 with all original members joined by Nobuhiko Shinohara.
