 The Blue Beats

Band Boys reveals the inner workings of the lives of the Blue Beats - six teenage boys mastering music in a thriving town that embraced them and the music they loved.

Sporting...Silvertone amplifiers...a pack of electric guitars...a used set of drums...a screaming Farfisa organ...and unbridled enthusiasm...the Blue Beats plunge headlong into the teenage band craze of the 1960s.
