Originally from Wollongong, Henry Correy, Gary Norwell, Keith Shadwick, Ian Smith and guitarist, Allan Vander Linden, formed a blues band, King Biscuit, which played universities and the nightclub circuit in Sydney from 1968 to 1971.

After Ian Smith left, Renée Geyer was the lead singer for twelve months of the band's existence and is recorded on their sole album, Sun 1972.

Sun's live repertoire was a mixture of jazz, psychedelic rock and blues, inspired by John Coltrane, Archie Shepp and the Art Ensemble of Chicago.

They were one of the first jazz-rock groups in Australia, challenging musical moulds of the day and garnering critical acclaim from the arts world.

Norwell also said"with hindsight it is a fairly good effort given the antipathy or complete incomprehension faced by the band by the more conservative rock community at the time.

Starlee Ford took Geyer"s place in the band and under the influence of Shadwick and Norwell they explored the outer limits of free improvisation, retaining a strong blues connection as well.

This lineup played a more progrock style and toured Australia extensively but Sun finally folded as an entity after a couple more years.

The "Free Time" album consists of Shadwick on piano and reeds playing his own compositions and features Robert Lucky, and Justin Mcoy on bass guitar with some incendiary drumming by original partner Gary Norwell.

Singer-songwriter, Richard Clapton, had a six-week stint as lead vocalist in early 1973,[3] followed by Starlee Ford, a singer who appeared in the original Australian production of the rock musical, Hair, and made a contribution as Geyer's permanent replacement.
