The nickname ' The Boss ' reportedly started in the 60's when Bruce ( yes,those of us from NJ just call him Bruce )took it upon himself to collect and distribute the pay when they were still doing small gigs. You will find here music video's, song lyrics, cd's and links to everything ' The Boss'.
In the late 1970's a new Rock 'n' Roll band hit the scene. They had outrageous Teddy Boy hair styles and was tattooed so prolifically that you couldn't tell where the ink ended and skin started. To be brutally honest they looked more like a bunch of yobos than Rock 'n' Roll stars. But they let their music do the talking and shot to stardom with hit after hit after hit. If you enjoy Rock 'n' Roll or Rockabilly you will definitely like the music of the Stray Cats.
To be completely honest I had never heard of The Jive Romeros until I started making these video showcases. I stumbled upon them while looking for my favourite artists on YouTube. The Jive Romeros are a classic Rock 'n' Roll band that are very reminiscent of Bill Haley and The Comets.I hope you enjoy this lens and enjoy listening to the music of The Jive Romeros.
One of my favourite bands of the 1970's was Showaddywaddy. This British band was different from all the other bands of the era by being two bands that had joined into one. This gave the band a unique sound as it had two of each band positions. The style of music they performed was Rock 'n' Roll with a hint of Glam Rock (the main style of music of the era). They dressed in Teddy Boy fashion in loud colours and were probably the most colourful band of the era. The story I heard about the forming of Showaddywaddy was that the bands Choise and The Golden Hammers were double booked at a venue so they played together and was so successful that they formed the band Showaddywaddy. Whether that is true or not doesn't really matter, what matters is the bands went together like a dream and produced the greatest Rockabilly band of the 1970s.
Brothel Creepers are a type of shoe most associated with Rock 'n' Roll music. They were invented in 1949 by George Cox six years before Rock 'n' Roll became popular. But since then they have been adopted by the Rock 'n' Roll / Rockabilly market as their trademark shoe.The most famous of the Brothel Creeper shoes are of course the blue suede ones made famous by Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley.The Brothel Creeper has a two inch rubber sole and usually lace through D-Rings to tie them.
