  Ides Of March (band)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Ides of March was an early '70s band that hit it big with the song, ''Vehicle'', in 1970.
The Ides of March evolved from a Chicago band that was first called the Shy Lads, and then the Shondels, and had recorded a single for Epitone Records.
In 1969, a full horn section was added to the band making their sound resemble the sound of horn rock bands like Chicago, and Blood, Sweat and Tears, and less like the Beatles and The Ventures, by whom the band's earlier work had been influenced.

Chicago's Ides of March burst onto the national scene in 1970 with the million-selling single "Vehicle," a tune that bore more than a passing resemblance to the then mega-selling Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Formed in the mid-1960s in the Windy City, founding member Jim Peterik put the original Ides together as a teen band, strong on original material and British pop harmonies.
Soon the band was recording for London's Parrot Records subsidiary, releasing five singles between 1966 and 1967, including the local hit "You Wouldn't Listen." By the late 1960s, however, Peterik had reconfigured the band to include a full horn section, and a new sound and style for the band was born.
