The Renegades (band)

[2] Not finding much of a foothold in England, the band found greater success in Finland after a tour in Helsinki in October of 1964.

[1] Causing a kind of fanaticism in Finland nearly comparable to Beatlemania in the UK, the Renegades became known for their energetic stage performances, as well as the outfits they wore, styled after American Civil War era Cavalry uniforms.

The band also proved to be popular in Italy, and the group was invited to play at the Italian Sanremo Music Festival in 1966.

The group eventually disbanded in 1971, with Brown and Webley going on to form the band Kim & The Cadillacs, with Johnson as their manager.

Footage of the band appears in Finnish Director, Aki Kaurismäki's 1994 film, Take Care of Your Scarf, Tatiana.
