The Beat were undoubtedly one of the most original bands the UK has produced. Their unique mix of ska, reggae, punk, disco and afrobeat styles stood them apart from their 2 Tone and other contempories. They gave us such incredible hits as Mirror In The Bathroom, Too Nice Too Talk To, Hands Off She's Mine, Stand Down Margaret, Best Friend, Can't Get Used To Losing You, Drowning, Tears of A Clown, Rankin Full Stop, I Confess, Save It For Later and more!
Over the last two decades fans around the world watched Ranking Roger - one of the UK's most beloved frontmen - performing with his son - Ranking Jnr by his side, keep The Beat alive! The pairing was nothing short of electric. And the results on record as equally dynamite! A fact born out in the BBC 6 music adding the Ranking Jnr/Ranking Roger penned - Side To Side by The Beat, to their A playlist.
And now, Ranking Jnr follows in his father's footsteps as the lead singer... carrying The Beat's flag into a new era with a turbo-charged live set guaranteed to raise any roof. With new material on the horizon, and sold-out shows around the world, The Beat's legacy is in phenomenal hands!
?Support comes from one of the UKs best new high octane ska acts - The Kubricks and DJ Nanker P (Time Tunnel)
Don't miss this immense night of 2 Tone and ska at London's iconic 100 Club on Oxford St, London W1.
The Beat feat Ranking Jnr
One of the key bands of the UK ska revival of the late '70s and early '80s,The Beat achieved a near-perfect balance of pop melodies and taut rhythms that made them stars in Britain and won them a substantial cult following in the United States. The Beat were based in Birmingham, England and released their debut single, "Tears of a Clown" b/w "Ranking Full Stop," through the Specials' 2-Tone label in 1979. The single went Top Ten in the U.K., and they soon struck a deal with Arista to distribute their own Go Feet label. 1980's I Just Can't Stop It (released by Sire in the United States) went gold in England on the strength of the single "Mirror in the Bathroom," and the band's ferocious performances and clever blend of personal and political lyrics made them stars at home. Ranking Jnr, son of the late Ranking Roger, is carrying on his father's legacy.
