I saw The Beat live in downtown SJ last year. Well, ok, so it was only 1 or 2 guys from the REAL beat, but still... They were great.

Funny how they are referred to as "The English Beat"...was there another group called The Beat back then?

They were just The Beat back home...

Yes, especially around here in Northern California in the early 80's:

I was lucky enough to see both "Beat" bands in their prime at some point in the early 80's at the Santa Cruz Civic.

(Edit: In fact, here's a pic of Rankin Roger I took at the Santa Cruz Civic in December of 1982.)
