TOP DRAWERS - This nitty gritty garage rock band features Eric Lefebvre from local Beatles tribute Twist & Shout, Patrick Jacobson from the Capitals, Marla Mcqueen from Black Eyed Blonde and Del Cowsill from the infamous Cowsills. Influenced by all those great '60s Nuggets from the UK and US, their raw, edgy, in your face rock'n'roll is guaranteed to groove!

TWIST & SHOUT is a Beatles tribute band that will transport you back to The Sixties, to a time when Beatlemania dominated a generation. Full of the raw energy, humour and an undeniable charisma that propelled the Beatles from the Cavern Club in Liverpool, to world stages, Twist and Shout will pack your evening with memorable hits from when The Fab Four first invaded America, right through to Abbey Road and Let It Be. Eric, as ‘John’ is at his raunchiest when belting out epic songs like ‘Twist and Shout.’ Jody, as ‘Paul,’ rocks out with extraordinary bass playing on songs like ‘Paperback Writer,’ Elliot, as ‘George,’ skillfully hammers the three combined solos on ‘The End,’ as Rocky, the talented ‘Ringo,’ delivers a steady backbeat. Twist and Shout will take you back in time when hair was big, skirts were short and when the world seemed to revolve around music. We invite you to let your hair down, to pull your skirt up and then to just TWIST and SHOUT!!!
