Like a lot of "lost" bands they re-emerged as Brinsley Schwarz (named after one of the members) who continued as a rock band in the 70s. Kippington Lodge was the first band of Nick Lowe, maybe their biggest legacy?

Kippington Lodge - shy boy
+
60s,
CDs,
psychedelia
A lost British psychedelic band, they had all the right ingredients as this career retrospective shows (which collects all their songs from their 5 songs and the usual unreleased odds and sods in the usual excellent RPM package). Nice psych tunes, decent vocals and looked fairly cool. But then again so many bands in the late 60s also had that so i guess thats why they didn't really stand out.

Actually Kippington Lodge was a bit more than that. Songs like "Shy boy" and "Rumours" have a pleasing pop feel, quite Beatles-esque while being different enough to not be mere copyists. Talking of the Beatles they did a good cover of "In my life" which had a bit of a blues-y edge to the vocals.
