===================================

The Blockheads are an English rock and roll band. Originally fronted by vocalist Ian Dury as Ian Dury and the Blockheads,
the band has continued to perform since Dury's death in 2000. Current members include Derek Hussey (vocals), Chaz Jankel (guitar),
Norman Watt-Roy (bass guitar), Mick Gallagher (keyboard/piano), John Turnbull (vocals/guitar). John Roberts (drums) There
is rolling line up of saxophone players that includes Gilad Atzmon, Terry Edwards or Dave Lewis and from time to time, the
original sax player, Davey Payne. The band are best known for their hit singles, recorded with Dury, "What a Waste",
"Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick", "Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3" and "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll".
Under the management of Andrew King and Peter Jenner (the original managers of Pink Floyd) Ian Dury and the Blockheads quickly
gained a reputation as one of the top live New Wave music acts. Their first single "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" marked Dury's
Stiff debut and although it was banned by the BBC it was named Single of the Week by NME on its release.It was soon followed by
the album New Boots and Panties!!, which was eventually to achieve platinum status. (Although it has been claimed that Dury
coined the phrase "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll", there is evidence that it was already in common use and a very similar phrase had
been used by Australian band Daddy Cool for the title of their 1972 second album Sex, Dope & Rock'n'Roll: Teenage Heaven.The
tune is based on part of Charlie Haden's bass solo on "Ramblin'" on Ornette Coleman's 1959 album Change of the Century.
Dury and the band built up a dedicated following in the UK and other countries and scored several hit singles, including
"What a Waste", "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" (which was a UK number one at the beginning of 1979, selling just short of a
million copies) and "Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3" (number three in the UK in 1979).
