Artist Biography Available in: Flower Travellin' Band (フラワー・トラベリン・バンド Furawā Toraberin Bando) was formed in 1968 as a side-project of singer Yuya Uchida. Connected to Japan's counterculture movement and noted for their mixture of early heavy metal with psychedelic and progressive rock, FTB (as they are often known in their country) received wide acclaim from critics, yet failed to achieve commercial success, finally disbanding in 1973. Inspired by a resurgence of hippie influences in Japanese culture, the band would reunite in late 2007 and play on until the death of vocalist Joe Yamanaka in 2011, after which it was permanently disbanded.
