Cliff had his Shadows, Bob was joined by a bunch of Wailers and Siouxsie came with her Banshees! Who are the great backing bands with equally great names.
65 years ago, Cliff was Travellin' Light with his renamed backing band The Shadows. So who were the greatest backing bands, from The Wailers to the Commodores, we’ve had Bad Seeds and Banshees, Modern Lovers and Blockheads and someone just got fed up at the ideas session and said let’s just call them The Band.
