Ibex

Ibex was a short-lived Liverpool-based rock band in 1969. It is primarily known for being the first band that Freddie Mercury (then known as Freddie Bulsara), later of Queen fame, performed with. The other members of the band were Mike Bersin on guitar, Mick Smith on drums and John 'Tupp' Taylor (later Jim Capaldi's manager) on bass. In October 1969, the band changed its name to Wreckage but broke up in November 1969. On September 9, 1969, the band performed a concert at The Sink in Liverpool, which included an encore with future Queen members Roger Taylor and Brian May. Currently Ibex is Techno/House artist Tony Ollivierra, who hails from Detroit and is keeping the long Detroit Techno tradition of producing high quality, banging tracks. Ibex is also an avant-progressive rock band from Bellingham, Washington. The members are Shiloh Smythe (drums), Carly Gilliland (violin), Darin McQuestin (guitar), and Loren White (bass, saz).
