*Tickets are available for this event. See booking button below.
Event location: Eel Pie Club.
 THE PRETTY THINGS are back! After successful tours of Europe and the USA, and London gigs at The Eel Pie Club and the 100 Club, the full electric band will have just finished appearing alongside Chuck Berry at The Shepherds Bush Empire, and 4 days later the acoustic band will be performing at The Eel Pie Club, Twickenham.
The acoustic line-up has been very popular at The 100 Club and other more intimate venues, and features original Pretty Things, Phil May on lead vocals, guitar and blues harp, Dick Taylor (original Pretty Things and Rolling Stone) on acoustic, slide and lead guitar, and Frank Holland (who joined the band in 1992) on acoustic, slide guitar, backing vocals and harp.
THE PRETTY THINGS have had a chequered history which moved the band from hard-edged rhythm n blues, through psychedelia, a rock opera, and heavy metal " and once again back to the music that made them famous - rhythm n blues. They released a new album last summer 'Balboa Island' to rave reviews.
Their act is as relevant today as it was when they first prowled the stage in 1964, when they caused a sensation with the world's longest hair and the worst Rock & Roll attitude ever seen. Their first three singles " 'Rosalyn', 'Don't Bring Me Down' and 'Honey I Need' all made the charts. In the late '60's, the band moved on from hard-edged blues to psychedelia and their song 'Midnight to Six Man' defined the mod lifestyle of the mid-sixties. They produced the first rock opera 'S.F. Sorrow', followed by the highly-acclaimed record album 'Parachute' which was named Album of the Year by Rolling Stone.
Teenage Rhythm 'n' Blues duo, The Malchicks, will provide support. In the May/June edition of 'Blues Matters', their photo adorns the front cover. See their website at www.themalchicks.com
