New York may be cosmopolitan, but
it still has country music fans.
"New York City is the world meeting
place for all types of people, cultures
and music, including country," says
Steve Almaas, band leader, singer and
songwriter for the country-pop band
Beat Rodeo.
The New York City-based band will
play tonight at the Drumstick, 547 N.
48th. Cover charge is $5.
Beat Rodeo plays pop music with a
country flavor reminiscent of Buddy
Holly or the Everly Brothers.
The band formed in 1982 and deve
loped a following in the Northeast and
Midwest. In 1984, they recorded their
debut album "Staying Out Late With
Beat Rodeo," for release on the West
German Zensor label. The album sold
well in Europe and the band toured
there in October and November 1984.
After the successful European tour,
the band returned to the states and
signed with the prestigious I.R.S. record
label. This past summer, "Staying Out
Late..." was released in the United
States and has been given critical
acclaim. ,
Almaas' experience and his abilities
as a songwriter have paid off with
Beat Rodeo. The Los Angeles Herald
called Beat Rodeo, "One of the prime
American treats of the season." The
Village Voice has called their LP one of
the year's finest.
Beat Rodeo introduces
pop for country people

Country-pop, Big Apple style that's
New York City's Beat Rodeo. .
BR's debut album, "Staying Out Late
With Beat Rodeo," is a furious mix of
country-western and pop music styles
without the loud, raunchy sound of
country punksters Jasen and the
Schorchers or the Beat Farmers.
The 12-track album easily could
have been titled "Pure Pop for Country
People." If you listen hard enough, you
can hear the influences of Nick Lowe,
Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers and
maybe even Elvis Costello throughout
the record.
