Complex

There are at least four bands named Complex: a British psychedelic rock group, a Japanese rock super group, a Tanzanian band and a Finnish punk band.

1. Complex were an English psychedelic rock band from Blackpool, United Kingdom. Formed in 1968, the group initially consisted of Brian Lee (lead guitar), Tony Shakespeare (lead vocals, drums), Lance Fogg (bass) and Tony Fisher (rhythm guitar). After some early personnel changes, in early 1970 the line-up was Lee, Shakespeare and Fogg with the addition of Steve Coe (keyboards). In November 1970 they cut their first, self-titled album Complex, of which only 99 copies were released in May 1971. Originally devised as a demonstration record for bringing the band to the attention of major record companies, it went on to become quite famous among collectors of rare British psychedelia, fetching high prices.
