In 1975 four teenage kids were signed to "Island Records"
, they called themselves "Eddie and the Hot Rods"
and they went on to tour the world and produce four top forty
hits 'Live at the Marquee, Quit this town, I might be lying,
Teenage Depression and one top ten hit 'Do anything you wonna
do'. They recorded two singles with MC5 singer Rob Tyner as
guest vocalist, they toured America alongside The Ramones,
Talking Heads, and Tom Petty. In 1978 they headlined the Reading
Rock Festival and have filled most of the major UK and European
venues. 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 'Punk Rock’
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.
