Biography

Edit

The Left Banke were an American baroque pop band that were formed in New York City in 1965 and disbanded in 1969. The band are best remembered for their two U.S. hit singles, "Walk Away Renée" and "Pretty Ballerina". The band often utilized what the music press referred to as "baroque" string arrangements, which led to their music being variously termed as "Bach-rock", "baroque rock" or "baroque 'n' roll". The band's use of harmonies saw them favorably compared to contemporaries such as The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Zombies, and other British Invasion groups.
