The Fame Beats’ Davey Lane and Rusty Hopkinson are known to some as long time band mates in celebrated Australian rock-and-roll group You Am I. These two plucky charmers share a keen interest in Hamburg era British pop and it was on a stroll down the Reeperbahn that they decided to commit their love of all things Beat to tape. The Fame Beats motor along a Cuban-heeled path from Merseybeat via the Medway, doffing their caps at favorite big-beat-acts, such as Bern Elliot and The Fenmen, The Milkshakes, Russ Kruger and of course that most Fab Four, along the way. Don't Tell No Lies is the sad tale of a young man spurned told with the aid of chiming chords and soaring harmonies. The Watford Stomp is a reckless Cavern styled romp that demands you to Dance.
