"While watching
THE BRITISH BEAT perform at our national trade show I kept imagining
that Brian Epstein and The Hullabaloo dancers would appear on stage to
announce the boys next big hit. Great memories and great fun."

The British Beat
in command performance. A tribute to the Mods & Rockers of the British Invasion. The
British Beat presents both the fab-pop harmonies of the MODS and the
driving sound of the ROCKERS the two sounds that defined the '60's British Invasion.
These are the CLASSIC ROCK sounds that we still can't get enough of:
The Animals
The Who
Herman's Hermits
The Rolling Stones
The Dave Clark Five
The Kinks
The Hollies
The Beatles
Gerry and the Pacemakers
Donovan
The Zombies
The Moody Blues
....and so many more.
The list
goes on and
on...
...and so does the rollicking spirit of the
British Invasion!

about...

The music you've heard in hundreds of movies is
now performed in an energy-charged show that leaves everyone clamoring
for
more. From the moment the "curtain goes up" The
British Beat takes you on a
magical journey through the British Invasion.
In
1964,
The Beatles
started it all.
One performance on the Ed Sullivan Show was all it
took.
The infectious sounds that had conquered all of Britain and
Europe suddenly exploded into the United States like a super-charged
bolt of lightning.
Tuneful
and defiantly upbeat, this music awoke a generation of
young "baby boomers"
unlike anything before or since.
THE
BRITISH BEAT will show you why!
When
was the last
time LIVE music lifted your spirits
for
a total celebration of life? It
happened in the '60's! Thanks to THE BRITISH BEAT it happens
again!
"This
is a show that charges you with excitement . Totally fun for
every age!"

BAND BIO:
THE
BRITISH BEAT began their original fame as a typical party band in
London in 1965. They
were the toast of London's most fashionably attired and gave
extraordinary life to the hits of the day.
They
were a musicians' favorite. When bands came off the road,
they usually hired THE
BRITISH BEAT
to play at all their private parties. They opened for every major act,
usually at small clubs in and around London. Because of their superior
musicianship (at least for that time), they sometimes
played behind an on-stage
screen to help the famous bands pull off their shows.
They
partied with Mick and the boys... They can be heard plainly shouting
school-boy obscenities during the recording session of "Mellow
Yellow"... And they all dated Lulu at one time or another. In fact, THE
BRITISH BEAT was for a time Petula Clark's back up band, ...until she
found out they were all dating Lulu.
Every
band seemed to teach them a trick or two about playing the British Invasion music
with conviction and authority....exactly the way those songs were
supposed to be played.
But,
their fame was not to be. Due to an almost completely
involuntary
cryogenic experience, their place in music history was put into a
vault marked DO NOT DEFROST and vacuum sealed for eternity. Or at
least, until the second coming of Walt Disney. Was it
jealousy?
Some say, "Perhaps."
But,
now they are back!!!
As
fortune would have it, a devout, overly nostalgic, and slightly randy fan masquerading as a
bio-technician broke into a restricted area of a secret government
facility and pushed a
painted-over button that once displayed the words: MELT DOWN.
And
as is commonly known... once the thawing begins, there is no turning
back lest an unpleasant after-taste or even spoilage occur.
The
mystery fan then stealthily shipped them out of the facility (in a
plain foil wrapper) to a catered affair at an undisclosed hillside
manor where she nursed them each back to consciousness just in time to
save British rock from a fate worse than homogenization (not
that there's anything wrong with that).
For
her own protection THE
BRITISH BEAT
will not reveal who the mystery fan is. All they will say is,
"Thank You, Lulu!!! We will love you forever...and maybe next
Saturday night, if at all possible!"
