Live At The Astoria

On 20 August 2005 Eddie & the Hot Rods held a 30th birthday gig at the London Astoria to bring to a close their tour for the album "Better Late Than Never". This live concert features the band playing all their hits and more to a rapturous audience, including Teenage Depression, Quit This Town and Do Anything You Wanna Do. Eddie and the Hot Rods began life in 1976, when four teenagers from Southend on Sea got together and playing their own style of fast energetic rock and roll / R'n'B, were soon a big hit on the London pubrock scene. Catching the eyes and ears of the music press and the major record companies, they went on to have three hit albums and four top forty UK singles including the Top 10 hit 'Do Anything You Wanna Do'. There have been numerous TV appearances worldwide and they have filled almost every major venue in the UK. A success in the USA too, they have toured alongside The Ramones, Tom Petty, The Police, Squeeze, Talking Heads, Dr Feelgood, Nine Below Zero and most recently Status Quo. Still led by the 'very Rock n Roll' Barrie Masters, for the last 15 years the band have been playing all over the world and continue to attract a loyal following.
