“I was never a part of the pop music experience in the 1960s ( I existed in the Taylor Square Underground Scene ) but now, I embrace it from a distance. Some of my favourite songs are from that era and they are part of the yesterbeats repertoire. Its a pleasure to present those songs in the 21st century to remind us all that the 1960s was not the black and white version that History with a capital H presents us with. It was colourful and fun and so are the yesterbeats. “
Izzy Foreal (bass) – In the 1960s Izzy (as Peter Knox) played with such notable acts as ‘The Twain’ (with Glynn Williams), ‘Soul Survivors’, ‘Fountain Shout’ and ‘Sylvester Quincy Barker’s Music Box’. Things picked up for Izzy through the 1970s. He played with such bands as ‘The 69ers’, ‘The Original Battersea Heroes’, ‘Johnny & The Ringworms’, ‘Red McKelvie’s Third Union Band’ and ‘Toons’. By the end of the 70s Izzy was not Peter Knox any more, and formed ‘The Zarsoff Brothers’, who carved a name for themselves through the 1980s and into the 90s. They still make rare appearances. In the late 90s Izzy formed ‘Heartbeat – The 60s Show’, which worked solidly around the Sydney traps, and honed Izzy’s skills for presenting songs from the golden era of electric music.
