Tidal Wave

South African band. The Tidal Wave were one of South Africa's foremost exponents of psych influenced pop music in the late 60's and early 70's with hits like "Spider Spider", "Mango Mango" and "With tears in my eyes". They also experimented with both brass and prog rock influences and although they existed for a relatively short time the band are regarded by many as the bridge between pop and the then developing 'underground' rock scene.
