Tomorrow (previously known as The In Crowd) were a 1960s psychedelic rock band. Despite critical acclaim and support from DJ John Peel who featured them on his Perfumed Garden radio show, the band were not a great success in commercial terms. Director Antonioni intended to feature the band in his 1966 film Blow Up, but instead used The Yardbirds. However Tomorrow did appear in the 'Swinging London' film Smashing Time under the name of The Snarks. The band released two singles, one of which, "My White Bicycle" was later successfully covered by heavy rock act Nazareth, and as a novelty record by 'Neil the Hippy' (Nigel Planer) of The Young Ones TV series. According to drummer Twink Alder, the song was actually inspired by the Dutch Provos, an anarchist/situationist group in Amsterdam: they had white bicycles in Amsterdam and they used to leave them around the town. And if you were going somewhere and you needed to use a bike, you'd just take the bike and you'd go somewhere and just leave it. Whoever needed the bikes would take them and leave them when they were done [1] (http://members.tripod.com/pink_fairies/tomorrow.html) Tomorrow singer Keith West is perhaps better known as a participant in the Teenage Opera project that gave him a solo hit single "Excerpt from a Teenage Opera (Grocer Jack)" and brief commercial success. Guitarist Steve Howe later joined progressive rock band Yes, whilst Twink went on to form The Pink Fairies . Band Members
