Eddie & The Hot Rods

Eddie & The Hot Rods are a British new wave band, formed on Canvey Island and active since 1975. This Birmingham concert brings the group to The Flapper, a venue that hosts concerts and shows.

Eddie & The Hot Rods formed on Canvey Island and have been active since 1975. The band was signed to Island Records, and its first album, Teenage Depression, was released in 1976, the year that established its place in the British new wave scene. Their work has since carried the name through several decades of guitar-led rock, and the group is the principal act on this bill.

The Hot Rods are also named alongside them for this night, so the evening pairs the band's own name with a second act under the same banner. The Flapper hosts concerts and shows in Birmingham, and this date places the band in that venue for a visit to the city.

The evening suits listeners who follow British new wave and rock from the late 1970s onwards, and those who want to hear the band's material performed live in Birmingham. The concert is a straightforward chance to see a long-running band whose debut album remains its most cited starting point.
