The Lambrettas

The Lambrettas were a British mod revival band, active in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Formed near the south coast city of Brighton, their original line-up consisted of Jez Bird (singer/guitarist), Doug Sanders (guitarist/vocalist), Mark Ellis (bassist) and Paul Wincer (drummer). Their biggest hit was in 1980, with a cover version of the 1950s Lieber and Stoller song, "Poison Ivy", which reached #7 in the UK Singles Chart. They scored a #12 hit with the follow-up, "Da-a-a-nce". In the same year, they released the album Beat Boys in the Jet Age, which reached #28 on the UK Albums Chart, and another charting single, "Another Day (Another Girl)". All these releases were issued by Rocket Records. After the mod revival fad faded, subsequent singles and a second album, 1981's Ambience, were commercial failures. The band played their final concert in London, on April 14, 1982. Bird re-formed the band in the 1990s, performing at small venues in England, and recording several demos for a new album, which was never issued.
