Biography

The band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club was formed in 1998, and took its name from motorcycle gang in the movie The Wild One with Marlon Brando. Peter Hayes and Robert Been met in high school and decided to create a band. They were looking for the drummer, and soon they found Nick Jago, who came to California after studying in England. Originally trio was called The Elements, but members had to change it into Black Rebel Motorcycle Club when they found that band with such name already existed. First records were indebted to classic rock, and influenced by Led Zeppelin. Musicians also were fond of psychedelic rock and space rock. Among all other components of their creativity the atonality played a great role. In 2001 band released their first album, titled Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and that record made them a part of so-called “garage revolution”, which was started by The Strokes. In 2003 the second album titled Take Them On, On Your Own appeared. Its sound was more aggressive and raw, lyrics was politically-themed.
