...The
Story...

||||||||||
The
(Electric) Shocks all hailed from the Westcliff and Hadleigh areas of
Southend, existed between 1978 - 1980, and consisted of Perry Ames on
Vocals, Gary Ames on Guitar, Paul Dee (Dearlove) on Bass and John Dee
(Dearlove) on Drums. A guy called Nigel played guitar in them for a while
too, but only for a brief period. Although known as 'The Electric Shocks'
when they started, once John Dee joined they became known primarily as
The Shocks and stayed so during their time together. They managed to play
a lot of local concerts as well as quite a few gigs further afield. Key
Shocks venues though were Crocs in Rayleigh, and Scamps and Focus in Southend. |
