High-spin states in ^172,173Lu were populated at LNL through the ¹⁷⁰Er(⁷Li,xn) reaction at 51 MeV. The emitted γ-radiation was measured with the GASP array. The five known bands in ¹⁷³Lu have been extended up to much higher spins and three new band have been found. In the odd-odd nucleus ¹⁷²Lu six rotational bands consisting each of two signature sequences have been newly established. The strongest band in ¹⁷²Lu has two sequences with nine pairs showing identical transition energies within 3 keV. This band may have a π 1/2⁻[541] ⊗ ν 1/2⁻[521] configuration where the neutron is of the pseudospin singlet ν 1/2⁻[420] nature being aligned parallel and antiparallel to the rotation axis, respectively. This band represents possibly the best example of a pseudospin singlet band in normal deformed nuclei known until now. An unexpected observation is that the 1/2⁻[541] and 7/2⁺[404] bands in ¹⁷³Lu show no band crossings contrary to the corresponding bands in ¹⁷¹Lu which experience pronounced band crossings at a rotational frequency of ℏ ≈ 0.32 MeV.
