ROCK AND ROLL SHOW

 


Rock And Roll Show was formed in 1972 in Perth. The band was very popular on the live music scene and played at all the major Perth venues. They also played in the regional centres of WA and conducted a tour to the eastern states. In 1974 they cut their first single ''Lover, Please / At The Hop'' on the Sunshine label. In 1976 they cut their second single ''Hey Rock And Roll / The King Of The Jive'' on the Clarion label. Both tracks were covers of English band Showaddywaddy. The band supported Chuck Berry on the Perth leg of his 1976 tour. The band went through many lineup changes during its tenure and sometimes had up to seven members. The band lasted until the early 80s. In 1993 they had a one off reunion.
