Genre: Prog Rock (Hard Rock/Psych.)  /  Italy

THE UNDERGROUND SET is an Italian Heavy Progressive Rock band formed in the late 1960s. Formed by Gian Piero REVERBERI, known as the producer of well-known RPI band LE ORME, as well as members of the band NUOVA IDEA. The band released two albums in the early 70s, "The Underground Set" in 1970, and "War in the Night Before" in 1971. The band's style was very typical of the late-60s/early-70s organ lead hard rock, with plenty of psychedelic space rock elements throughout their sound. The sound was so typical, in fact, that many believed the band to be of English origin, although this is also due to the fact that the two albums were pressed frequently in other European nations. The two albums are very rare, and are gems for collectors of obscure Italian music. "Andy Webb" (Prog Archives).
