The Kaisers

Members have been associated with The Wildebeests, The Masonics, Holly Golightly and The Bristols[1] and Janey And The Ravemen[2] The Kaisers began as the Hitsville Greaseguns playing early rock and roll classics and after a few years they replaced their original drummer Paul with Johnny Maben from the Psychobilly band Radium Kats and they adapted their sound further, they established themselves as a band in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1992.

In 1994, In Step With The Kaisers was released, plus an EP called Alligator Twist, which included tracks that were not featured on either of the previous albums.

To promote the record they appeared on a BBC Radio Scotland program special reviewing The Beatles Biopic Backbeat film.

By this point, problems had arisen and bassist John Gibbs had left, formed the Wildebeests, played with Holly Golightly then joined the Masonics.

Even though the band's most prolific years had passed, the pair soldiered on with a new album, Wishing Street, and a second US tour.

Five tracks were recorded live for the program and the band also appeared on the John Peel show that same year.

During the early stage of the band's career, The Kaisers recorded three albums, two extended players (EPs) and two singles over three years.
