Python Lee Jackson were a rock band that started in Australia and were active from 1965 to 1968, followed by a brief period in the United Kingdom from late 1968 to mid‑1969. The group recorded the single “In a Broken Dream” (October 1970), featuring Rod Stewart as guest vocalist, in April 1969. The band reformed in 1972, and the single was re‑released in August, reaching No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 56 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The group disbanded again later that year. Their early vocalist Mal McGee (1966–68) died on 17 May 2012. Python Lee Jackson were formed in December 1965 in Sydney by two musicians from the United Kingdom — Frank Kennington and Mick Lieber (born 1 March 1944, Peebles, Scotland) — together with David Montgomery (born September 1945, Melbourne) on drums (ex‑Jeff St John & the Id). Lieber (guitar) and Kennington (vocals) had previously been members of The Denvermen, a Sydney surf‑instrumental group, and contributed to that group’s single “I Can Tell” (November). With Roy James on bass guitar, Python Lee Jackson played the underground circuit. In early 1966, Kennington was deported to the UK, and former Missing Links singer Bob Brady filled in for several months before Lieber and Montgomery assembled a new lineup. In March 1966, keyboard player and singer Dave Bentley (born 1943, Brisbane) left Jeff St John & the Id to join his former bandmate Montgomery, alongside Lieber, together with former Unit 4 bass player Lloyd Hardy (also known as “Cadillac” Lloyd Hudson).
