Bio
The Syndicats était un groupe de beat formé en 1963 en Angleterre.
Le groupe est initialement composé de Thomas Ladd au chant, Steve Howe à la guitare et aux chœurs, Kevin Driscoll à la basse et aux chœurs, Jeff Williams à l'orgue et au piano ainsi que John « Truelove » Melton à la batterie. C’est le premier groupe de Steve Howe.
En 1965, sur leur dernier single On The Horizon, Thomas Ladd, fut ensuite remplacé par John Lamb au chant et John « Truelove » Melton fut remplacé par Paul Holm à la batterie.
Quand Steve Howe quitte The Syndicats pour rejoindre le groupe The In Crowd en novembre 1965[réf. nécessaire] qui changera de nom pour devenir Tomorrow, il est remplacé à la guitare par Ray Fenwick, ce dernier cédant ensuite sa place à Peter Banks, qui verra lui succéder Steve Howe au sein de Yes en 1970.

The Syndicats were an English freakbeat band formed in September 1963 in North London.
The group initially consisted of John Lamb on vocals, Steve Howe on guitar and backing vocals, Kevin Driscoll on bass and backing vocals, Jeff Williams on organ and piano, and John "Truelove" Melton on drums. John Lamb was later replaced by Thomas Ladd. John "Truelove" Melton was replaced by Paul Holm on their last single in 1965.
When Steve Howe left The Syndicats to join the In Crowd in November 1965 (which would later become Tomorrow), he was replaced by guitarist Ray Fenwick, who was subsequently replaced by Peter Banks. Banks went on to be the first guitarist in Yes, later replaced by Howe in 1970.
The Syndicats' first single was released on 8 April 1964, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Maybellene" on the A side, and on the B side, a joint composition of Howe and Ladd, "True to Me". Their second single was another cover, a song by Willie Dixon, "Howlin' for My Baby", with the B side being a song credited to the entire band, "(Tell Me) What to Do". Their third and final single, "On the Horizon", was a composition by Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller on the A side and, on side B, "Crawdaddy Simone", a song by Fenwick and Williams produced by Joe Meek. Fenwick plays the guitar solo in this song.
Many years later, Fenwick joined Steve Howe's Remedy live band for a 2004 tour (released on DVD in 2005). "Crawdaddy Simone" was covered by a British band called The Horrors on their eponymous EP released in 2006.
