EDDIE and the Hot Rods began life in 1976 when four teenagers from Southend on Sea got together, playing their own style of fast energetic rock’n’roll and were soon a big hit on the London pub scene.
Catching the eyes and ears of the music press and the major record companies, they were soon signed up by the legendary Island Records and went on to have three hit albums and three Top 40 UK singles including the Top 10 hit Do Anything You Wanna Do.
There have been numerous TV appearances worldwide and they have filled almost every major venue in the UK. A success in the USA too, they have toured alongside The Ramones, Tom Petty, The Police, Squeeze and Talking Heads.
Four decades after they set out, the 70s legends play The Talking Heads tomorrow night.
