Which of these bands was named after a Burmese cat?
The English rock band Procul Harum was founded in 1967, and is still going in 2021, although planned tours have been cancelled due to the Coronavirus - their most recent being in 2018.
They took their name from a Burmese cat who was owned by friends of their original manager, Guy Stevens (1943-1981), although the cat's name was spelt slightly differently, as "Procul Harun".
The band's music has always been difficult to exactly categorise, though it is generally considered as psychedelic rock, albeit heavily influenced by classical and baroque music. Probably their most famous song was one released in their first year, "A Whiter Shade of Pale".
As of June, 2021, the band's line up comprises Gary Brooker, Geoff Whitehorn, Josh Philips, Matt Pegg, and Geoff Dunn.
