Summary:
"With only a guitar, a tatty copy of the Melody Maker, and his template for the perfect
band
, Andrew Matheson set out, in 1971, to make music history. His
band
, the
Hollywood
Brats
, were pre-punk prophets - uncompromising, ultrathin, wild, and untamable. Thrown into the crazy world of the 1970s London music scene, the
Brats
recorded one genius-but-ignored album and ultimately fell foul of the crooks who ran a music industry that just wasn't quite ready for the punk revolution. Andrew Matheson was a founding member of the
Hollywood
Brats
, the
band
that
never
really was, from 1971 to 1975. He has since been writing and recording music, producing, publishing magazine articles, and drinking pints"--Provided by publisher.
"The
Hollywood
Brats
were a British glam rock and protopunk
band
in the early 1970s. They found little commercial success at the time, and split up in 1974, but are regarded as influential on the later punk rock scene. The
band
was originally known as The Queen, and was formed in London in 1971 by singer Andrew Matheson, keyboard player Casino Steel (born Stein Groven, Trondheim, Norway, 22 February 1952), and drummer Lou Sparks. When another rock
band
, Queen, started to become popular, they were obliged to adopt a new name,
Hollywood
Brats
