THE BEAT!radicals....they present an explosive mixture of the most legendary Beat hits of the Sixties till today: From Chuck Berry and Elvis to Green Day, from The Beatles and The Rolling Stones to The Hives - they sound fresh like in the first hours of Rock'n'Roll. The BEAT!radicals present their own history, a RADICAL History of Beat music and their motto is "THE BEAT GOES ON". This motto stretches like a red thread through their programme and is supported by an excellent video projector show.
THE BEAT!radicals provide the REAL evidence of the fact that a tribute band can awake the rough sound of the classics with own ideas and bring new life to older versions – quite a new rock'n'roll affair...
Beside Beatles numbers like "Come Together" and classics of Little Richard and Gene Vincent The BEAT!radicals present songs of bands like The Who or The Kinks. They also cover hits from The Hives ("Walk, Idiot, Walk") or from Green Day ("Basket Case", "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"). Peter Framptons "Show Me The Way", or Hendrix' "Foxy Lady" is followed by Randy Newmans "Short People"and "Don't You" of The Simple Minds - just to get to "Johnny B. Goode" and "Free Falling".
When Peter and his band sing about "The Power Of Love" (Huey Lewis), they do it so honestly as if they had witnessed the days when The Who cried out "I hope I die before I get old..." |
