Brown formed Kingdom Come following the demise of The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, when Vincent Crane and Carl Palmer left to form Atomic Rooster. Having toyed with several projects including Strangelands, Puddletown Express, and Rustic Hinge.
As a group, Kingdom Come took the mantle from where the Crazy World of Arthur Brown had left off, presenting a highly theatrical show which utilised the VCS 3 synthesiser and presented a form of experimental rock music which was far ahead of its time. This led to them becoming a popular act on the festival circuit (their memorable appearance at the 1971 Glastonbury Fayre was captured in the documentary film of the same name).
