John Wicks and The Records

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 "THE RECORDS" - a British powerpop/rock band, were formed in 1978 by guitarist/singer-songwriter - JOHN WICKS - and drummer/lyricist - WILL BIRCH. They recorded three albums for Virgin, and played with such acts as - THE CARS, ROBERT PALMER, ELVIS COSTELLO, THE JAM and JOE JACKSON. Their first album - "SHADES IN BED"/"THE RECORDS" - released in 1979 - produced by - MUTT LANGE and TIM FRIESE-GREENE - went top 40 in the US., spawning the classic hit single - STARRY EYES. Several singles followed, including 1980's - HEARTS IN HER EYES - which was also covered and released on Sire Records by THE SEARCHERS. These days JOHN WICKS is a solo artist, who writes, records, produces and plays live shows with a new "RECORDS" line-up, billed as - "JOHN WICKS AND THE RECORDS". A new CD entitled - "ROTATE" - was released on the Kool Kat record label in April 2007. www.koolkatmusik.com (JUDE COLE, the only American to play in - THE RECORDS - owns Ironworks Studios and Ironworks Records, together with actor KIEFER SUTHERLAND).
