Paul Collins Beat & the best of The Nerves (US)

Bistro och bar öppnar klockan 16:00 På scen ca 20:00.

Paul Collins formed The Beat in 1977, recruiting members of various rock bands including Steven Huff, Larry Whitman, Dennis Conway and Michael Ruiz. The result was The Beat, a high energy rock group in the style of The Ramones, Blondie and The Dictators. As the story goes, Collins was awarded a record deal with CBS thanks to his friend Eddie Money and Bill Graham Management. The Beat played with many bands, including The Jam, Pere Ubu, The Police, Eddie Money, The Plimsouls and Huey Lewis. The Beat became Paul Collins’ Beat when a ska band from the UK began using The Beat as their moniker.

About The Nerves: Formed in San Francisco by the late Jack Lee (guitar), Peter Case (bass), and Paul Collins (drums) in 1974 and later based in Los Angeles, The Nerves proved – for but a brief, shining moment – one of the most exhilarating and influential bands in the annals of power pop, bridging proto-punk energy and jangly melodies with a fierce DIY spirit.

Boasting three incredibly gifted songwriters, the band made rock ‘n’ roll history with their eponymous 1976 EP , released on Greg Shaw’s iconic Bomp! Records label and featuring four now-classic tracks including Lee’s “Hanging on the Telephone,” made famous, of course, two years later by Blondie on their breakthrough third album, Parallel Lines.

Without any record company support, The Nerves took the bull by the horns and booked their own national tour – unheard of in those days – and traveled across America playing shows with such peers as Devo, Pere Ubu, DMZ, and the Ramones. 27,000 miles later, the band returned to L.A. and recorded what would’ve been their next single, “One Way Ticket” and “Paper Dolls,” but alas, that old demon, creative differences, interceded and The Nerves called it a day before the punk and new wave explosion that might’ve made them household names. Case and Collins carried on as The Breakaways, recording a number of songs originally intended for The Nerves and included on The Nerves – Best Collection before themselves imploding.

All three founding members of The Nerves went on to lead their own singular careers, Lee as a songwriter and solo artist, Case both with The Plimsouls and his own acclaimed solo body of work, and Collins as frontman of The Beat and The Paul Collins Beat.
Now, five decades after leaving their fleeting but everlasting mark, The Nerves – Best Collection does long overdue justice to a landmark canon of truly terrific rock ‘n’ roll songs, finally remastered and united on Third Man’s definitive edition.
