Twenty Flight Rockers

Twenty Flight Rockers was formed in London in 1983 by Gary Twinn, former singer/frontman of the Australian band Supernaut, and drummer Mark Laff, recently from punk group Generation X. Together they recruited lead guitarist Ian McKean, and bass player Jeff D. Vine.

Drawing inspiration from 1950's Rock & Roll artists Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent, Vince Taylor and Johnny Kidd, the new band named itself after Cochran’s Twenty Flight Rock, adopted a UK rocker style, and created blistering modern rock & roll with post-punk attitude.
