| EDDIE & THE HOT RODS |
| A Brief history... Eddie and the Hot Rods began life in 1976, when four teenagers from Southend on Sea got together and playing their own style of fast energetic rock and roll / r'n'b, were soon a big hit on the London pubrock scene. Catching the eyes and ears of the music press and the major record companies, they were soon signed up by the legendary Island Records and went on to have three hit albums and four top forty UK singles including the Top Ten hit 'Do Anything You Wanna Do'. There have been numerous TV appearances worldwide and they have filled almost every major venue in the UK. A success in the USA too, they have toured alongside The Ramones, Tom Petty, The Police, Squeeze and Talking Heads. After over a decade of touring, and with various members of the band involved in other projects (Paul Gray - UFO/The Damned: Barrie Masters - The Inmates: Graeme Douglas - The Kursaal Flyers: Steve Nichol - One the Juggler...), the Hot Rods slowly ground a halt and for a few years there were only occasional reformations involving several line-ups. However, throughout the changes, one man remained a constant - the 'very RocknRoll' Barrie Masters and in 2000 the band were asked to take part in a 76 date tour of the UK alongside Dr. Feelgood, John Otway and The Hamsters. Barrie reconditioned his Hot Rods and the tour was a great success. The band have been back in demand ever since. In 2003, they recorded an album of brand new songs, "Better Late Than Never", which was snapped up in France by Bad Reputation Records and then by Voiceprint Records in the UK. 2004 was spent touring the UK and France promoting the album and 2005 started off with the band back in the studio, writing songs for the next album. They continued to tour through into 2006, including the UK, France, Italy, Norway, Czech Republic, Poland and Germany, as well as a successful return to the USA. 2006 also saw the release of the bands first full concert DVD, "Live - 2005", recorded at London's Mean Fiddler, as well as a brand new studio album, appropriately titled, "Been There, Done That...". In addition, there was the live compilation "Right For The Night", which was released in anticipation of the bands scheduled visit to Japan (unfortunately cancelled at the last hour due to an unfortunate choice of promoter!) |
