Paul Collins’ Beat has an impressive lineage. Originally called The Beat, the band was founded by Paul Collins of The Nerves fame (1974). The Nerves were one of the pioneers of the burgeoning US punk-rock scene, independently releasing their own 4-song EP, which included that classic tune “Hanging on the Telephone” (which later became a hit for Blondie).
After The Nerves disbanded in 1977, Collins moved to LA and formed The Beat with bassist Steve Huff, drummer Mike Ruiz and lead guitarist Larry Whitman. The Beat have toured with The Police, The Jam and Joe Jackson to name a few, and later recorded their debut self-titled album with producer Bruce Botnick (who produced The Doors). In the 90s, The Beat re-formed as Paul Collins’ Beat, continuing an amazing musical legacy with a new line-up that features Juancho Lopez (bass), Manolo Cahuchola (guitar) and Christopher Bongers (drums).
They will be joined by special guest Round Eye:
Since their formation in 2012, Round Eye have gone on three China tours, one Asia tour, supported Beijing legends P.K. 14, rock and roll stalwarts M.O.T.O. and Paul Collins, released a critically acclaimed 12” LP Full Circle featuring Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn, and won the prestigious title of City Weekend’s band of the year in a totally un-rigged and reliable internet poll.
Round Eye are currently working on a new album that will feature Stooges/Violent Femmes saxophonist Steve MacKay, indie legend R. Stevie Moore and a host of other collaborators, as well as a 7” single to be released through Beijing based Maybe Mars subsidiary label Genjing Records.

The Beat乐队由Paul Collins组建。他年少时在希腊、越南、和欧洲多国居住，之后才回到老家纽约。他曾在名声赫赫的朱丽亚音乐学院学习。后又搬去旧金山，并于1974年 同作曲Jack Lee 以及贝斯手Peter Case一起组建了The Nerves乐队。The Nerves后来成为美国蒸蒸日上的朋克摇滚乐先驱之一。他们独立发行了四首单曲，其中就包括后来被Blondie翻唱而大热的经典”Hanging on the Telephone”。
The Nerves于1977年解散，Collins搬去了洛杉矶，并同贝斯手Steve Huff、鼓手Mike Ruiz以及首席吉他手Larry Whitman一起成立了The Beat乐队。The Beat曾与The Police、The Jam以及Joe Jackson一起巡演。他们经常做客电视节目，还与The Doors的制作人Bruce Botnick一起制作了首发同名专辑。这张专辑里有受到甲壳虫乐队以及飞鸟乐队影响的吉他演奏和动人和声，为日后大火的The Knack乐队派“细领带强力摇滚”奠了基。
2014年3月，Paul Collins将首次来到中国巡演。这一得见影响过Green Day等乐队的传奇朋克先驱的机会不容错过。
特别嘉宾：
Round Eye－这支上海朋克乐队，虽然2012年才成军。却已经举行过三次中国巡演；一次亚洲巡演；与P.K. 14、M.O.T.O.、Paul Collins等摇滚大牌同台；并发行了一张被一致认可的专辑。
City Weekend曾把他们评为年对最佳乐队。但他们并没有停止停止脚步，即将发布的新专辑将与萨克斯手Steve Mackay（Stooges/Violent Femmes）、独立摇滚传奇R. Stveie Moore等合作，由根茎唱片发行！
