Biography
Drawing from the seminal mod presence of the Who, the Jam, and the Creation, Stringwrecker (guitar/vocals), Jack the Mad Genius (drums), and Blind Johnny Welder (bass/harmonica) came together as the Waistcoats in 1993. The trio delivered their 1960s revival to England by issuing multiple EPs through assorted labels, until Alopecia Records backed the 1997 debut album The Surfisticated Sounds of the Waistcoats. Two years afterward came the 10" EP Beat Party With the Waistcoats, after which Larsen Records issued the Waistcoats' second full-length, EXPLOSION, in early 2000.
