Pat Travers

While most bluesy hard rock acts of the '70s and '80s hailed from the United States (the south, to be exact), there were several exceptions to the rule, such as Canadian singer/guitarist Pat Travers. Born in Toronto on April 12, 1954, Travers first picked up the guitar just prior to entering his teens, after witnessing a local performance by the great Jimi Hendrix. It wasn't long before Travers was studying the other top rock guitarists of the day (Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, etc.), and paying his dues by playing in bar bands in the Quebec area.

Yo el Rey

Born in Bradford City, a place once described as "like descending into Hell", we are a guitar rock four piece with a penchant for sleazy riffs and even sleazier lyrics. We have dirty guitars and even dirtier minds. If we can't convert you to our ways, we just might rape your ears and piss on your mattress, then be on our merry way. This is the life we have come to know, and this is the life we invite you into. Our manifesto is a simple one, we want to make your girlfriends dance so we can mate with them, ...and when your girlfriends haven't quenched our thirst, ...you will be next.
