“It really has come to something when people can’t take a short holiday without the threat of long-haired youngsters armed with knives indulging in an orgy of hooliganism.” —Quote from a BBC film about the Mods vs. Rockers.
It’s been some 50 years since the battles of the Mods and Rockers that splashed across the beach towns of Britain.
In 1964, Clacton got clattered. Hastings got hammered. Brighton got battered. And Margate got maulled. The year and the incidences were immortalized in the film “Quadrophenia.”
Rockers and Mods were hated then; but they’re celebrated today.
Get our there and pay hommage this weekend at THE HUSTLE TOWN RUMBLE, taking place in Houston, November 6–8. It’s three days of bikes, scooters and music. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Houston Food Bank.
Registration for the event is on Eventbrite. Find more information on Facebook.
