Insert Poor Japanese-British Invasion Pun Here!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Silver Beats... OK, not a marquee name, certain no one you might have heard of, but definitely the level of eclecticism is well justified. They roll out in bowl cuts, slim cut suits, strapped with vintage gear like the smoothest mid-1960s zookeepers you ever did see, ready to unleash all manner of untamed rock and roll all over a befuddled audience, and suddenly, they break into... Beatles covers?! It turns out, The Silver Beats are Japan's premier Beatles cover band, crashing through tunes from all over the Fab Four's storied career, with surprising dexterity, considering aside from the lyrics themselves, the guys don't speak a word of English. After a mini set, the mop-tops set to a monumental task, backing the man himself, Mr. Chuck Berry, who meandered out in his usual captain's cap, and dipped leisurely into his classic "Roll Over Beethoven". His set, mellower than most considering the show followed the Offspring and Bloc Party, featured Chuck playing with the audience, enticing some call and response and working the crowd into a frenzy by the time he busted out "Johnny B. Good". After that, it was smooth sailing.
