Definitive '60s & '70s: Rock 'n Roll of the Cultural Revolution
The Beatnik history can be traced back to the steamy coffee shops and poetry dens of Soho, In New York's Greenwich Village. Today, the Beatnik legacy lives on in four young men who adhere to the ideology that music is more than a mere background for our lives.
They perform the music of the 60's & 70's (and 80's, too); with energy and passion that you won't find anywhere. Capturing the essence of the music with their charisma, chemistry and natural talent is why people all over the world are fans of the band.
Since their explosive debut in the early 90s', the Beatniks have been pleasing audiences ranging in age from eight to eighty with their signature energy, classic sound and vigorous stage presence. With over 5,000 performances since their inception, they have headlined shows that have drawn crowds of 35,000 people, and have proven to be one of the largest drawing bands, consistently selling out the venues they play. Performances include: The Seattle Mariners post-game concert at The Kingdome, Safeco Field, NYE at Caesar's Palace (Lake Tahoe), Absolut Vodka "Absolute Album Covers" Release Party (NYC), Aladdin Hotel (Vegas), Ameristar Casinos, House Band at Muckleshoot Casino (WA), Detlef Schrempf's Celebrity Golf Classic Gala, The Bite of Seattle, Portland, The Portland Rose Festival , Taste of Edmonds (sponsored by MTV), The Seafair Ball, and many major Gala's in many cities throughout the U.S. In addition, they were the winning band on the world's premier of the nationally televised VH-1 show "Cover Wars", hosted by Paul Schaffer from David Letterman.
They have garnered both local and national press acclaim, with The Seattle Times proclaiming the Beatniks "The Biggest Band in Town" in terms of popularity, and with Seventeen Magazine hailing the band's ability to entrance audiences of all ages. The attention from press has generated requests for shows all over the world, sending the boys as far as the Hard Rock Café in Cancun (Mexico) during spring break, where they "played to difficult audiences(and) injected the entire restaurant with a rare enthusiasm." Others say: "Fabulous," "Captivating," "Festive" "Magical" and "True pro's at entertaining and performing"
The Beatniks are a rarity; not often does a band come along that is able to do everything right, but do it to near perfection as well. In true Beatnik tradition, these boys will provide the feel and soul of an era long erased from our calendars, but not from our memories they create the memories of a lifetime.
