Spooky Tooth was a British rock band that originally formed in 1967. Emerging from the remnants of a band called Art, Spooky Tooth’s line-up included Gary Wright (keyboards, vocals), Mike Harrison (vocals, keyboards), Luther Grosvenor (guitar), Greg Ridley (bass), and Mike Kellie (drums). Their music blended heavy rock with blues and progressive elements, making them pioneers in the early development of progressive rock and hard rock.
The band released several studio albums, live recordings, and compilations throughout their career. They are known for albums like It’s All About (1968), Spooky Two (1969), and The Last Puff (1970), among others. Despite critical acclaim, Spooky Tooth did not achieve significant commercial success, but they maintained a loyal fan base and influenced many musicians in the rock genre. The band broke up in 1970, regrouped in 1972, and disbanded again in 1974. Spooky Tooth later reunited in 1998 for the album Cross Purpose and returned for additional live activity during the 2000s.
Their chart success was modest, with Spooky Two being their most commercially successful album in the United States. Spooky Tooth released eight distinct studio albums between 1968 and 1999. The 1971 U.S. album Tobacco Road was a reworked reissue of It’s All About, while the 2000 release Comic Violence was a reissue of The Mirror rather than a new studio album.
