Ibex (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ibex was a short-lived Liverpool-based rock band in 1969. It is primarily known for being the first band that Freddie Mercury (then known as Freddie Bulsara), later of Queen fame, performed with. The other members of the band were Mike Bersin on guitar, Mick Smith on drums and John 'Tupp' Taylor (later Jim Capaldi's manager) on bass. In October 1969, the band changed its name to Wreckage but broke up in November 1969.
On September 9, 1969, the band performed a concert at The Sink in Liverpool, which included an encore with future Queen members Roger Taylor and Brian May.
After Ibex, Mercury performed in Sour Milk Sea, before joining Smile with Taylor and May.
An Ibex demo called "Green" and Wreckage's live cover of The Beatles' "Rain" would later appear on Mercury's posthumous solo box set in 2000.
