Ricky (band)

Ricky was an English indie rock band.

Career

Ricky formed in Portsmouth, England in the autumn of 2000. The band's first release was a self-funded mini-album, released in January 2002, titled You Set The Scene, named after the last track on Forever Changes, an album by Love. The record gained strong reviews, but the band didn’t realise the commercial success the press attention suggested. In 2005 they had a UK top 40 single, disbanding the following year.
