Taylor Hawkins’ son Shane has won the Performance Of The Year prize at the annual Drumeo Awards. His performance at his dad’s Tribute Concerts in London and Los Angeles last summer also drew immediate praise from many onlookers, including fellow drummer Stewart Copeland.
In the History of Rock in 1962 – The Beatles played their first professionally organized gig outside of Liverpool at The Oasis Club, Manchester. The groups set started with their version of 'Hippy Hippy Shake'.
In 1967 – The Jimi Hendrix Experience appeared in Darlington, England and the show was advertised as “Don’t miss this man who is Dylan, Clapton, and James Brown all in one”.
And in 1976 – Genesis released ‘A Trick Of The Tail’, their seventh studio album and the first to feature drummer Phil Collins as full-time lead vocalist following the departure of original vocalist Peter Gabriel. After auditioning over 400 vocalists, which saw Collins teaching the potential lead singers the songs, the band decided that Collins should be the new vocalist.
