=================================
PAUL COLLINS BEAT (New York, USA)
=================================

The Beat was founded by Paul Collins, who spent his pre-teens living in Greece, Vietnam and Europe before returning to his native New York. He studied at the prestigious Julliard Music School and eventually moved to San Francisco where he joined songwriter Jack Lee and bassist Peter Case to form The Nerves in 1974. The Nerves proved to be one of the pioneers of the burgeoning US punk rock scene, independently releasing their own 4 song EP which included the classic "Hanging on the Telephone," later to become a hit for Blondie.

After The Nerves disbanded in 1977, Collins moved to LA and formed The Beat with bassist Steve Huff, drummer Mike Ruiz and lead guitarist Larry Whitman. Their friend Eddie Money recommended The Beat for management by legendary concert promoter Bill Graham. Under new management, The Beat toured with The Police, The Jam and Joe Jackson. They also made numerous TV appearances and recorded their debut self-titled album with producer Bruce Botnick (who had produced The Doors). The album featured Beatles and Byrds-influenced guitars and catchy choruses, defining the skinny-tied power pop which The Knack took to the charts. In the '90s, The Beat re-formed as Paul Collins' Beat and continues to write and tour.

THEE EVILTONES
=====================

The Eviltones deliver prime garage stomp with masterful surf-punk guitar, red raw vocals and a big bad hammerhead rhythm section pounding out the brutal and bloody backbeat to a concrete jungle call.
Worshipping and invoking the restless, haunted ancestry that runs from the delta blues through 60's garage into punk rock; The Eviltones devilishly distil the myths and spectres from the dark side of rock'n'roll history into high-octane, prime slices of furious death-dance burn-out boogie. The stage show is a super-charged molotov cocktail of spit, sweat and abandon. Short, sharp shocks to the head are delivered in a formidable and furious fashion as The Eviltones struggle to remain human in the grip of some voodoo freak-show fever.

=====================
THE BREAKDOWNS
=====================

The Breakdowns deliver an intense punch of pioneering power-pop sound that's just fabulous to listen to. These guys certainly deserve to be mentioned among any records that are all the rage with the new 'garage/rock'n'roll' crowd. The songs are great, resulting in a raw explosion of sound that virtually defines what late 70's power pop was all about. They'll have little problem luring you in with their insidiously catchy hooks and playful lyricism.
