RARE BEAT - GARAGE ROCK AND PSYCHEDELIC
Red Squares are an English rockband that started in Boston England in June 1964.
The band came to Denmark in January 1966 and within six months were the biggest name in Denmark and breaking into Sweden.
There was total fan hysteria and in Sweden the fans totally wrecked a Folkpark stage at one concert.
The fans adored the two front figures of Geordie and Ronnie.
In 1969 December the group split up after a tour of Isrζl, and no chance of getting back to Denmark,
because of work permit problems. Red Squares in the period of 1966-67 were the biggest idols on the Danish Pop Scene.
No other group could have the idol worship they received where ever they went. Geordie was voted number two best in the world singer.
The group were always in the papers and front page news of magazines. The group was inspired by American groups such as The Beach Boys,
The Four Seasons, also some the American black groups that were around at the time. The group also wrote their own material.
On the tail of the Red Squares success came another English group. The Wishful Thinking, they had a moderate success in Denmark.
In 1971 Geordie went to Sweden where he made four single records and an L.P. in his own name.
He came back to Denmark in 1975 and formed the group Squares. In 1980 Geordie sang with local musicians and different bands and
after his divorce he gave up the life as a musician. One day he received a telephone call from Howie Gee asking him if the
Red Squares could maybe reform, so after trying to get the old members to come back. The new Red Squares in 1989 quickly became popular
again with a big hit from the L.P. Back On The Road called Goodbye My Love. The group went back on the road and appeared on T.V. Super Chancen,
Hit Hζrg og Hentehεr, Apollo and many local T.V. stations whilst on tour around Denmark.
Red Squares are still on the road and loving every minute of it.
Howie left the band at the end of 2012 due to ill health and was replaced by Claus Langeskov. The band is working on a 50 year anniversarry
album for release in 2014.
