The Left Banke

Band, 1965-1969 US, New York City
Rock and Pop

The Left Banke is an American baroque pop rock band that formed in New York City in 1965, disbanded in 1969, reformed in 2011 and again in 2015, without original lead singer Steve Martin Caro. They are best remembered for their two US hit singles, "Walk Away Renée" and "Pretty Ballerina". The band often utilized what the music press referred to as "baroque" string arrangements, which led to their music being variously termed as "Bach-rock", "baroque rock", or "baroque 'n' roll". The band's vocal harmonies borrowed from[citation needed] contemporaries such as The Beatles, The Zombies, and other British Invasion groups.
