The band was founded in Tampere, Finland, already in the 1970s, then by the name of Gandalf. However, because of the recent fame of the J.R.R. Tolkien Lord of the Rings trilogy, and not to look like they utilise the fame of the books and the films, they have now changed their name to The Urban Crow.
In the 1980s the band went into hibernation from doing regular gigs - the members finished their studies and went into regular employment. However, active playing has continued and the band has made recordings in their own home studio.
All the members have always been true Beatles fans and 2004 the band started doing The Beatles tribute gigs.  2005 Urban Crow made a most successful debut in the Liverpool Beatle Week.  2007 was the premier of Beatles Forever Revue and the shows are going on during 2008.
