The Stargazers

About Me

The Stargazers! Rock 'n' Roll? Definitely! Swing? Most assuredly! Jazz? Maybe a little, but not enough to hurt you! Welcome to the official myspace of the Stargazers - England's rockingest, rollingest, swing-jive combo! Yes, nine out of ten parents agree, their rebellious teenage kids go wilder for the Stargazers than for the other leading bands! So if you're looking for rich, meaty rhythms, swimming in juicy, full-fat melodies, topped with a healthy dollop of Brylcreem, well, then you're a very strange person... but you have come to the right place!
Groove Baby Groove A much-requested album. A re-issue on the Finnish Blue Light label of the original tracks recorded for Epic between 1981 and 1983. This features the original line up of Danny, Pete, John, Ricky and Anders, with Mark Bremen replacing Pete on some tracks.
Watch this Space was issued towards the end of the band's time with CBS, in 1983. The album today is a valuable collectors' item. In fact, such is the demand for it that it has been issued as a pirate release in Europe.
Back in Orbit Released in 1991. Contains brilliant new originals like "Loretta" and "Dig That Rock 'n' Roll", as well as a dynamite reworking of Bill Haley's "The Walking Beat". The band on this album is Danny (vocals), Pete (guitar), John (saxes), Chris (piano), Ricky (drums) and Tim (double bass).
The Speaking Clock Says...Rock!Same line up as "Back in Orbit", recorded in 1992. Vinyl Japan JRCD4
Go Go HoneyA tasty 10" piece of vinyl featuring a new version of "Go Go Honey", and a new song from Danny "Send me a Letter Loretta". Recorded with a new Stargazers' line up - Danny, Pete, Chris and Tim, with Gary Richardson on drums and Simon Gilby on sax. Vinyl Japan JRT7
Rock That BoogieTwenty classic cuts from the vaults. Unissued tracks from the first generation Stargazers way back in pre-CBS days
Froffee CoffeeAlbum produced by original Stargazers' drummer, Ricky Lee Brawn using vintage recording equipment for that authentic 1950's sound. Danny, Chris and Tim are on this, with the addition of Shaun O'Keeffe (drums), Jim Knowler (guitar) and Simon Gilby (sax). A varied collection of covers, originals and some comedy.
Give Me That JiveAll original songs. Features Dan, Pete, John, Chris and Tim, with Gary Richardson on drums.
