Pendulum :  Belgische countrygroep, wereldwijd eerste met die naam! Scoorde, mede dank zij de pedalsteelgitaar van Tuur Huysveld, in 1971  hit met door Serge Demol zelfgeschreven  'It’s a beautiful day'. De plaat is verdeeld in de Benelux en van Spanje tot Japan.
Het nummer werd een evergreen en vooral in de lente en zomer graag gedraaid. Split van Pendulum na 2de single “Early morning rain”, vorming van Pendulum 2 ( met John Colston ) en dan Transit, waarmee nog enig succes met de single “Come on sunshine” en elpee “First ride” . Laatste concert in februari 1982 in Brusselse Ancienne Belgique.

Sedert mei 2008 is Pendulum Reunion Band, die 7 muzikanten samenbrengt uit de verschillende voornoemde formaties, elk voorjaar op kleine concerttoer. Op 16 oktober 1997 was een eerste reúnie van de originele Pendulumleden te Grimbergen, 25 jaar na hun singelhit. En een tweede 'live' op de planken, op 1 mei 2011, tijdens concert ‘Erik 60 jaar’ in de zaal Roma te Antwerpen.
