New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Pavement PR) The Plimsouls embodied rock & roll in its purest, undistilled form in the era when post-punk droned and new wave popped. Whether on record or onstage, this foursome unleashed urgent, white-hot performances of expertly constructed songs by frontman
Peter Case that effortlessly straddled the perfection of British Invasion pop, the raucous, edgier side of early punk and garage rock, and the foundational elements of maximum R&B and wailing soul.
All of this is documented perfectly in one moment - or one night as the case may be - on the latest Plimsouls live album, Beach Town Confidential. Recorded at the height of their onstage power at The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, CA on August 13, 1983, this recording captures
Peter Case, Eddie Muñoz, Dave Pahoa and Louie Ramírez ripping through these 16 tracks with a youthful and reckless abandon. Six of these songs have never been recorded before by The Plimsouls ("Making Time," "Fall On You," "The Price Of Love," "Who's Gonna Break The Ice?," "Jumpin' In The Night" and "You Can't Judge A Book"), plus it also features the only live recordings of "Magic Touch," "Oldest Story In The World" and "Hobo."
The Plimsouls' Beach Town Confidential was produced by
Peter Case and mixed by
Peter and Andrew Bush. It will be released Feb. 7, 2012 though Alive Naturalsound Records on LTD. Edition Vinyl (w/ mp3 download card), CD and
Digital formats. In addition, Alive is also producing an extremely limited run of 200 pink vinyl LPs (w/ download card) exclusive to mail orders only.

Prior to
Peter Case forming The Plimsouls, he was part of two other influential mid-to-late '70s bands with Paul Collins - The Nerves and The Breakaways (Paul would later go on to form his own highly-respected group, The Beat). Both
Peter and Paul have enjoyed successful solo careers on record and on the road, but this spring they'll once again be reunited for a very special North American tour. The two frontmen (along with bassist Timm Buechler and drummer Amos Pitsch) will be performing classic numbers by their bands, The Nerves and The Breakaways, as well as material by The Plimsouls and The Beat. For fans of energetic live performances, visceral rock & roll, and raucous, hook-laden songs that draw as much from the golden age of '60s pop as they do from punk, these shows should prove to be nothing short of nirvana.
