This bunch have been on the road for years together, and in different bands such as Route 66, Union Avenue, The Bluemoon Boys and Rocket 88. The original Peas were formed in 1985, the year of live aid, an they busked around collecting for that cause, that..s how it all started.
They started out as The Blackeyed Peas and have 2 crackin' albums recorded under that name. The first "Uncooked" was recorded in Maryhill, Glasgow,and released only on cassette, but it has since been remastered on cd by Carrick Records.The second album "Cool Off Baby!" is a real thumpin' rockabilly sound and was recorded at Sun Recording Studio Kilmarnock, engineered by Bill Martin.There is a third album called "Rock It Boys", recorded on 4-track cassette and totally live.. hence the sound!! This has been re-mastered to cd by Jimmy O..Pea and is dedicated to the memory of their former Slap Bass player,
Alan (Rocky) Watson, who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident.
They also have a live album, produced by Carrick Records called "Rockin' Live in Scotland", where they back Linda Gail Lewis, the sister of the legendary Jerry Lee, both albums were released on 30/09/06 at the first of another 2 gigs played in Scotland with Linda Gail and her daughter Annie, the first in Maybole town hall on the 30th September 2006 which was sold out and was jumpin' from the first song, and one in Glasgow at the Grand Ole Opry on the 1st October 2006. which was well attended also.
The Band have played at Hemsby, Americana, The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, The Killkenny Festival and have just finished a third year touring with Linda Gail Lewis.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks

hello lads thanks for accecpting my friend request my two favorite guitar player's are eddie cochran and rory gallagher both had a lot in common. i think your tracks are excellent both musically and sound quality wise, ive heard studio recording's that was'nt half as good. i find i hard especially when recording with a double bass to get it right in a live situation, the slap always seems too loud and the notes almost unheard any tips would be appreciated cheers from dublin,,,will,,
