Extract from BACK STREET HEROES BSH MAGAZINE July 2008. Review of Hot Rod 55 at the Into the Valley bash.. "...everyone rushed back in for the final act. It has to be said that the best had most definitely been saved until last: I don't think there are many bands on the current bike scene who can turn a crowd on quite so quickly as Hot Rod 55. They are, to my mind, the most entertaining rockabilly band I have ever seen, and it looked like all of the people jammed into the marquee at Into The Valley 2008 were in full agreement". - Chairman of NABD

Johnny Casino (Vocals) |
Originally from Sodaburgh, Nevada, Johnny Casino has the casual and bluff onstage presence of a native of his home state. Where two words suffice, one is Johnny's creed. Rock n' Roll - less is more, three chords - four's for bores. Jazz is OK if you spell it ROCK. 100% up to the hilt. Singing his heart out for you. |

The heart of the band, and the one with the best jokes! |

Richie Vincent (Double bass) |
Solid and exciting performer. Over the last 10 years Richie has played double bass mostly on the rock and roll/swing scene with some great bands, appearing regularly at the world famous 100 Club in Oxford Street and all major rock and roll weekenders including Hemsby and the Rhythm Riot. During this time he had a spell with the fantastic rhythm and blues master Mike Sanchez, and five years with his own swing jive band Maria Vincent and The Millionaires who achieved considerable success both in the UK and abroad, releasing two successful albums before amicably splitting. Now in the Hot Rod 55 hot seat, Richie is a very happy slapper! |

Johnny Blue (Guitar) |
Founder member of Ebenezer Weazel went on to form Voodoo Sioux who had an album released on music for nations - reached No 27 in a chart far far away. current projects with Aston Road a brief but enjoyable stint in The Space City Cowboys, JB will caress you with sweet blues and then bust your ass with some blinding Rock ‘n’ Roll. Beware the Gretsch, it burns... |
