March 28th 1979 was not only the
date of the Three Mile Island
nuclear incident, but also, in
Birmingham, England, the very
first show by a nascent band
known as The Beat. Introduced
as "the hottest thing since the
Pennsylvania meltdown", the band
had a sense that the next few
years could well be explosive!
Along with their contemporaries
The Specials, The Selecter, and
Madness, The Beat became an
overnight sensation and one of
the most popular and influential
bands of the British ska
movement.
