The Elastic Band was a Welsh rock music group band, formed in Wrexham in the 1960s. They were one of the exponents of the UK psychedelic rock scene from the late 1960s and featured Andy Scott who would go on to become guitarist with Sweet. Other members were August Eadon (Gus) who went by the name Ted Yeadon when he was a member of Elastic Band, Sean Jenkins (drums) and Mike Scott (bass - Andy's brother).[1][2] The band broke up in 1970 when Yeadon accepted an offer to join Love Affair.
