The Original Comets, her med bassisten Marshall Lytle og saksofonisten Joey d'Ambrosio, er fortsatt uforskammet spreke. Gutta er i alderen der mange for lengst har begynt å tenke på gamlehjemmet.

Bill Haley’s Original Comets turnerer i mellom-Europa i mars og april. Følgende presseskriv er sendt ut fra tyske Rock It Concerts.

The first rock band in the world


Many bands called themselves so, but this is the “real McCoy”. Before these guys hit the scene there was nothing, even the name Rock & Roll was taken from their early hit “Rock The Joint”.

After several successful and sold out tours in the last years the fathers of Rock Music will hit the road again.

After Bill Haley´s early death on February 9th, 1981 this guys got back together again and couldn´t stop “Rockin´ Around The World”, (as one of their albums was called).

On April 12, 1954 a musical history landmark, these fine young musicians recorded “Rock Around The Clock” the best selling rock record of all time (Guiness Book Of Records) and the third best selling record (after Bing Crosby´s “White Christmas” and Elton John´s “Candle In The Wind”) ever.

Bill Haley´s original Band has sold over 135 Million records with their classic hits "Rock Around The Clock","See You Later Alligator", "Shake Rattle & Roll","Mambo Rock","Crazy Man Crazy","Rock The Joint","Rock A Beatin´Boogie", "Razzle Dazzle",...

Still, they are one of the best, if not the best 1950s acts around. A dynamic, professional show that gets any crowd rocking by the guys who invited this music to the world over 50 years ago. They will bring the charisma, dynamic and charm that will bring you back to the good old days of Ducktails, Petticoats and Cadillacs!

Rock & Roll music which started with Bill Haley & His Comets, before others like Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis even went into a recording studio. Before “Rock Around The Clock” hit the worldwide charts these guys already hat 4 national rock hits in 3 years – and many afterwards.

Their popularity has grown ever since and they have been seen on many top TV shows over the past years. – Still Rocking Around The Clock.
