Musicians

The Resume

    (1976-1981)
    Born in London, United Kingdom
    Nick Lowe (March 24, 1949- ), bass guitar and vocals
    Dave Edmunds (April 15, 1944- ), guitar and vocals
    Billy Bremner (1947- ), guitar and vocals
    Terry Williams (January 11, 1948- ), drums
    Recorded the album 'Seconds of Pleasure' (1980)

Why they might be annoying:

    For years, the band could not record under its own name because Lowe and Edmunds were signed to different record labels.
    Once they were finally able to record as Rockpile, a dispute with their manager triggered the band's break-up after only one album.
    Edmunds noted of the band's drinking, 'It was a party whenever we were in the studio. I have great memories of making records with Rockpile as well as some horrible hangovers.'

Why they might not be annoying:

    They performed with Robert Plant at the Concerts for the People of Kampuchea (December 29, 1979).
    After their break-up, Williams joined Dire Straits (1982-89).
    Lowe commented, 'We got together for fun, and when the fun had all been had we packed it in.'
