Great! People forget what the music scene was like in 75 / 76 when Cavan were peaking. Full of stuff like 10cc's "I'm Not In Love" and similar dross. Bands like Doctor Feelgood were the exception, but Cavan appealed to disaffected adolescent's (like me), with their high octane anthems . I can understand why Joe Strummer was influenced, as Cavan played with the energy of a punk band, and if you listen to 'She's The One To Blame', it's classic Ramones, which makes you wonder if they heard the 'Crazy Rhythm' LP in 1975. I reckon they did!

[mikavirtanen]

Rock on! Finland hasn´t forgotten you.

Certainly famous amongst the rock n roll, rockabilly fraternity. They were the beginnings of the rock n roll revival and still in demand in many parts of Europe and UK conventions. I've only been to one in 89 at Battersea when they were on with Freddie Fingers Lee and CSA. I still think Elvis' Sun recordings were the best rockabilly sound.

You can't beat a bit of "Cavan" Really good to see some behind the scenes footage, is there anymore out there?

[patscanlan]
