Biography
Fresh from
recording their debut LP for mod label Biff! Bang! Pow! Records, The Lost
45s UK have defined the current beat scene in Leeds
and continue to push it forward. They are the real deal, untouched by the
plastic trends and fickle flirtations of a music scene desperate to cloak
it's latest protégées in the threads of credibility without realizing
that credibility comes with following the true path and growing with it,
not jumping onto the latest ring road or by-pass.
The band was born of a love of classic
pop and soul and are clothed in an image that mirrors their real life
affiliation with the many splendoured mod scene but they take all that
and more to produce their classic sound.
The band is championed on modernist and
beat influenced websites the world over and has received prolonged radio
play on America's
coolest underground and garage radio stations but have an ingrained pop
sensibility that cuts across all boundaries and swells the fold.

Davey - Drums
“A wild
mutation of Moon and Ringo as he continually pulls crazed faces and
thrashes away with wild abandon, crashing the band along.”

Nige - Vocals/Bass
The beating heart
at the root of the band's sound. Dynamic and groovy like the 60's
pioneers he loves.

…”sings
with real feeling and the oohs and the ahhs that punch their way
through the song are perfect ear candy.”

Nick - Vocal/Guitar
Digs rock, roll
& real soul. Aretha F, Ray Charles & Steve Marriott. It's all in
there but something new comes out.
