The Sweet In Concert
The Sweet didn't start out intending to define a new genre of rock ‘n' roll, but they just couldn't help themselves. As they immersed themselves in London's post-psychedelic music scene, the four working-class lads of The Sweet — singer Brian Connolly, guitarist Andy Scott, bassist Steve Priest, and drummer Mick Tucker — grew discontent with the sugary pop of their early-1970s singles.
The next decade saw them unearthing new ideas in music and fashion, and the band caught hold, embracing and even competing with David Bowie's gender-bending persona with increasingly flamboyant musical flourishes. Their 1974 breakout album Desolation Boulevard found Connolly screeching as much as singing and Scott deploying funk-infused wah-wah guitar and spacey synth effects alongside Priest's undeniably funky bass lines.
Most famously, Scott's riffage combined with Connolly's cartoonish vocals on The Sweet's biggest hit, "Ballroom Blitz." That song, along with further glam-rock landmarks "Fox on the Run" and "The Six Teens," established The Sweet on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Suddenly the band was at the center of a revolution, and they had the songs to back it up.
After the release of 1978's Level Headed album, Connolly left the band to start a solo career. The rest of the band carried on without him, releasing three more albums before breaking up in 1981. Glam rock evolved into heavy metal, trading playfulness and fluid sexuality for raw aggression and machismo. But the songs remained.
These days, four decades after the band's heyday, the two living original members — Priest and Scott — tour with their own versions of The Sweet. Priest, the bassist, relocated to Los Angeles, gathered a lineup of younger musicians from that city's accomplished rock scene, and regularly tours the United States. Scott stuck around London and put together a new band there that often plays to adoring fans across Europe and Australia.
Fabulous

The late Steve Priest's Sweet band...
by JeffNowo on 3/17/25The Showroom at the Golden Nugget - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5Great show! Great musicians! Period! Patrick Stone sat out the show with other commitments. Super rock star, guitarist, Jimmy Burkard was as awesome as usual! Joe, Ritchie, Dave, and Stevie are all rock stars as well. I met all the band members after the show and let me tell you, these guys are humble and genuine. Great dudes! I can' t wait until next year's show...
Are you ready Steve? (Uh-huh..)

Watch your bill
by Pebbles on 11/13/24Andiamo Celebrity Showroom - WarrenRating: 4 out of 5Band was great. However you have to be careful with Andiamo and your bill. I ordered 2 drinks, waitress brought a 3rd without asking and I was overcharged $15 for drinks. Showed the waitress the menu drink prices and she adjusted. However, 2 other people were overcharged as well, but didn't catch it until after they paid.
Thoroughly Enjoyable!
by Dirty Dan on 11/12/24Andiamo Celebrity Showroom - WarrenRating: 5 out of 5I was skeptical at first because none of the original members are in this lineup, but my skepticism evaded after the first song. The band's musicians were all excellent! Being a guitar hack, I was especially impressed with guitarist Jimmy Burkard's playing. But, him being from Detroit, I guess I should have expected no less. The lead singer, who sounded great, really got the audience pumped up by going up the aisles while singing. By the end of the night, he had the whole crowd standing up, clapping and singing along with the songs. I would definitely recommend seeing them if you get the chance. I'm looking forward to when they return to Andiamo's Showroom.
Great music
by Joel on 11/11/24Andiamo Celebrity Showroom - WarrenRating: 5 out of 5The show was great. The singer sounded like the original and the band was also the same way. So happy I was able to experience this music live.
