Bazooka Joe (band)

Bazooka Joe (band)

Bazooka Joe or Bazooka Joe and the Lillets was a British pub rock band formed by John Ellis and Danny Kleinman in 1970. It featured Stuart Goddard, who would later change his name to "Adam Ant". Both Ellis and Goddard would go on to find success with The Vibrators and Adam & the Ants, respectively. Besides the later fame of its members, Bazooka Joe is primarily known as the band that headlined when the Sex Pistols played their first concert on November 6, 1975 at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.

Another band member was Dan Barson. His brother (Mike Barson) gained fame as the keyboardist for Madness

British Comedian Arabella Weir claimed in a 2008 taping of the Radio 4 programme Chain Reaction that she was one of the "Lillets" or backing singers to the band. This is verified in Adam Ant's autobiography 'Stand and deliver'.

Madness covered the Bazooka Joe song "Rockin' in A Flat" on their debut album "One Step Beyond...". The song was also a mainstay of Madness' live set for several years.
