Gene Simmons of KISS says,\u00a0\u201cWithout the Sweet there would not have been a KISS.”<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

“This is the band I wish I had been in.”<\/i><\/b>\u00a0– Joe Elliot – Def Leppard<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

By the early 70\u2019s The Sweet were arguably the hottest ticket in town with a string of top ten records in the UK and Europe including\u00a0Blockbuster<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0Hellraiser<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0Ballroom Blitz,<\/i><\/b>\u00a0Teenage Rampage<\/i><\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0The Sixteens<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n

In 1975 the USA had discovered the band with\u00a0Fox on the Run<\/i><\/b>\u00a0hitting the number 3 spot in the Billboard 100. Another self-penned hit\u00a0Action\u00a0<\/i><\/b>followed in 1976 firmly establishing Sweet in the US charts.<\/p>\n

\n

On the face of it they were primarily a singles band however with albums including\u00a0Desolation Boulevard<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(1975) and\u00a0Give Us a Wink<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(1976), the band showed a much harder rocking band. The album\u00a0Level Headed<\/i><\/b>, released in 1978, brought with it another award-winning million-selling worldwide hit with\u00a0Love is Like Oxygen<\/i><\/b>\u00a0written by Andy Scott.<\/p>\n

\n

In 1979 original lead singer Brian Connolly left the original line up leaving Andy Scott, Steve Priest & Mick Tucker to continue as a 3 piece. Sadly, both Brian Connolly & Mick Tucker passed away in 1997 and 2002 respectively and with Steve Priest relocating to the USA, Andy Scott was left to fly the flag. After a couple of line-up changes over the years, since 2006 the line-up has been primarily unchanged from what it is today.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Andy Scott<\/b>\u00a0(lead guitar, vocals),\u00a0Bruce Bisland<\/b>\u00a0(drums, vocals)\u00a0Tony O\u2019Hora<\/b>\u00a0(lead vocal, bass) and\u00a0Paul Manzi\u00a0<\/b>(guitar, keyboards, vocals). The Sweet still tour the world extensively with one of the most dynamic and slick live shows on the circuit. 1968 to 2019, 51 years and counting of hellraising, star chasing, trailblazing.<\/p>\n
