[kj] Local bands - pipkins

[folk devil]

The Beat spend a lot of time in LA these days. They seem to be playing here every other week.  Never gone to see them.
What's the Death in Vegas connection? 
 
This has reminded of when I first came out to LA and got acquainted with this Brummy ExPat radio promoter.  He would reminisce of the days he toured with the beat, and how when he first came to LA, he would cruise around with Roger in his Porsche, Roger's Porsche.  
 
And I'm sorry, but I can't get pipkins out of my head!"talk about alternative fuels...not something that's going to be completely exhausted in 10 years."

Joan A is from Handsworth.
 
Rankin Roger lives in Bearwood and is often seen whizzing around on his roller blades
 
Jaz that's the one.  I used to drive for a friends band called Onionhead and he was in the Sandkings (all coming back now) who played with Onionhead alot.  I remember him being in the van a lot and seemed okay, talked about his band all the time who were pretty dour I seemed to remember.  Drove Onionhead to dudley jbs for a show and met Robert Plant at the gig.  He was really friendly and happy to talk for ages about music.  Wasn't mad on Onionhead.
