The Rokes -Let's Live For Today Some bio information about the origins of the band is necessary to understand their long career (More) Some bio information about the origins of the band is necessary to understand their long career since the early days of 1959.... In his early days as a musician, Norman David Shapiro, aka Shel, was recruited by Rob Storm & The Whispers and by other blues bands starting to play in the London venues. In 1959 Shel joins The Blue Caps, the famous band who backed up Gene Vincent. After that, Shel starts his first own band, The Shel Carson Combo, together with Vic Briggs on guitar, Mike Shepstone on drums, Bobby Posner on Bass. Starting with some parties for a few friends in London, they soon managed to play in the smoky pubs around Carnaby Street like the Roaring Twenties. Their initial set mainly consisted of standard blues songs, and they even performed with people such as Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. The Rokes officially start their career in London, as the 'Shel Carson Combo' but as many other beat bands after touring England they decide to travel up and down Europe to play in front of foreign audiences for more money. In January 1963 they went to Hamburg, Germany, where they had a residency at the Top Ten Club (The Beatles were just around the corner at the 'Star Club') In Germany they were highly appreciated, and it was there that they incidentally found their way to Italy, the country where they achieved popularity and success. Johnny Charlton on guitar, replaced Vic Briggs after their German tour. (Vic joined up with Dusty Springfield and later with Eric Burdon and The Animals). With Johnny in the new line up, The Shel Carson Combo came to Italy on the 8th of May 1963, where they accompany singer Colin Hicks, the younger brother of the famous english rocker Tommy Steele, whose Giddyup a ding dong was the soundtrack of the Italian movie "Europa di notte". They sign as backup band for Hicks but, according to the contract, they have to change their name to The Cabin Boys. They play in places like the Alcione theatre in Milano, earning success among the audience. Before a show in Torino, it happened that Colin Hicks got sick and completely lost his voice. So 'The Cabin Boys' who always opened the show just before Colin, replaced him, performing more of their songs, in the rhythm & blues vein, and leaving the stage in front of a gone wild audience. During their live show at the Ambra-Jovinelli in Rome, they were signed by Teddy Reno, the manager of the famous Italian girl singer Rita Pavone, to support her Italian tour. It's at this point that the guys decided they had to find another name, and The Rokes were born ! The name was chosen by Johnny on a night when he was completely drunk ! They started to make some television publicity spot for a famous ice cream brand named Algida and recorded their first 45 single Shake, rattle and roll, produced by Teddy Reno for the ARC label, an RCA subsidiary.
