The Beatpack initially peddled their primal wares from 1987 to 1991, terrorising audiences with their distinctive brand of violent Rhythm & Blues, their intense hessian-sack-clad live shows and their acres of hair. Recording an EP, a 45 and an LP for Screaming Apple Records, the group burned out in a blaze of glory and its members scattered to the four winds. Fast-forward twenty years and the 'Pack are back. Reunited in order to complete their mission to bring hip-shakin', feedback-screeching, blues-wailing garage punk R&B to the masses, and featuring original members Simon Harvey (lead guitar), William Bourton Esq. (bass guitar) and Hugh Dellar (vocals and harmonica) alongside new boy Adrian Smith on rhythm and the inimitable Ian O'Sullivan on drums, the band have already played a pre-Purple Weekend night in Leon, Spain, the Berlin Beat Explosion and Le Beat Bespoke in London. These 2 new sides are primitive, high-energy, kick-ass R & B at their finest. Pulling out all the stops at The Ponswood Hit Factory, these guys could show ANY new young group how it should be done, with all the necessary elements in place-crackling guitars, pounding drums, throbbing bass and hysterical vocals. Any fan of The Pretty Things, Downliners Sect and Clapton-era Yardbirds should cock an ear in this direction IMMEDIATELY!
