Trendsetters, Ltd.

TRENDSETTERS, LTD.

Trendsetters Limited was a manufactured pop band, active in the 1960’s. The group is best known for featuring future King Crimson members Michael Giles and his brother Peter Giles. (More from Wikipedia)

After a few gigs with the Sands Combo and the Interns in 1963 (not the same as the Welsh band called the Interns that was active from 1964 to 1967), the Giles Brothers played the longest (“758 gigs played”) with a band called Trendsetters, Ltd., from 1964 to 1967. They released four singles on Parlophone Records (the Beatles’ label in the UK). After guitarist/vocalist Bruce Turner left the band in 1967 to join the Loot, the band continued to record under the names the Trend and the Brain.
