Eddie and the Hotrods

In 1975 four teenage kids were signed to Island Records -
they called themselves ‘Eddie and the Hot Rods’ they played faster, tougher, wilder and louder than any
other band of the time and went on to tour the world producing four top 40 hit records including the worldwide smash hit ‘Do anything you wanna do’

They helped influence bands such as The Sex Pistols, The Undertones, and The 101ers (who went on to be The Clash) and played a major part in the birth of the 'Punk Rock’ revolution. In 2000 lead singer Barrie Masters was asked to take part in a major UK tour so he put together a reconditioned fleet of Hotrods and off they roared, the response was so good that the band have been in constant demand since then. The Hot Rods are once again firing on all cylinders! A European and American tour plus a new record distribution deal in the UK has ensured that the future is bright for the band who undeniably made an impact in the birth of punk rock. Guaranteed to leave
you shouting for more!
