BEAT CLUB: MY BABE

Jump into Spy Vibe's time machine and join a 1965 dance party with Gerry and the Pacemakers! The lads perform a great arrangement of My Babe, a Willie Dixon/Little Walter blues tune popular among British Invasion bands. The event is hosted by the German music program, Beat Club, which began the same year. Dig the slim mid-60s fashion! Gerry and the Pacemakers were a Liverpool group managed by Brian Epstein and recorded by George Martin at EMI. They were the first band to release three #1 hits in a row, a chart streak that wasn't broken until the 1980s. Stay tuned for some current news about Gerry Marsden and The Beatles on Spy Vibe. 


Get ready to meet MIKI ZERO, Japanese fashion model and spy! The creator of Spy Vibe has written a novel called Elevator Girl, inspired by his love of Ian Fleming and based on newly declassified intel from the Cold War. More info at Whiton's website here.
