Dantalian's Chariot were a British psychedelic rock band formed in 1967,[1] led by keyboardist and bandleader Zoot Money, and also featuring Andy Summers (later of The Police).[2] They are best remembered for their single "Madman Running Through the Fields",[3] and for their live performances, which featured early psychedelic light shows.[4] The band would all wear white robes and kaftans in concert, with all of their equipment painted white, to heighten the effect of these light shows.[4] The group disbanded in April 1968,[5] with Money going on to join Eric Burdon & The Animals and Summers joining Soft Machine .[1]
