Tell me about: Cockney Rebel


Recommended Posts

A couple of friends of mine--one in the UK and one in Australia--were talking about this band and about its leader Steve Harley. Posted a clip of one of his tunes that I really liked: sounded like late-70s Nick Lowe and Rockpile.

But then, I looked a little deeper and heard some early stuff that was totally fabulous glam.

I wanna investigate. So, if any of you all have much knowledge of this guy and his band, please feel free to unload it here. I think that I want to dig in to this discography.

Thanks!

It was not a (very) obscure band here in Europe back in the 70s, at least in the rock press. I have seen the film Velvet Goldmine, supposedly somewhat of a (fiction?) bio of Steve Harleywhich I don't recommend. But i'm not very fond of glam, except Bolan & Bowie.
