BackBeat pay homage to the 1960’s beat music scene.  BackBeat are a Melbourne based band that captures the excitement and energy of the 60’s Mersey Beat sounds and are in their 18th year refusing to slowdown or grow up! They’re obsessed with 50's & 60's Rock’n’roll, putting their own stamp on well-known tunes, with all the energy and enthusiasm from the heydays of Chuck Berry, The Easybeats, Little Richard, The Hollies, the early Beatles, The Everly Brothers, Eddie, Carl as well as afro-americans Arthur Alexander, Ray Charles and Motown girl groups and more! – all these numbers are played with high energy in true Mersey Beat style!
Includes well known numbers, obscure album tracks, B sides & rarities!
BackBeat play with raw energy, passion, three-part harmonies, with period correct equipment, foolishly dressed in black leathers and winkle picker boots!  They all sing too so the audience never gets bored with the same vocalist!
BackBeat have performed at the home of Mersey Beat in Liverpool (UK) including the prestigious International Beatleweek festival which is held annually over 7 days.
