I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Paul Collins' Beat were music video pioneers on early MTV and can be heard on the Caddyshack official movie soundtrack. Paul's first band, The Nerves, formed in 1974 and is considered one of the early U.S. punk groups, funding their own tours and recordings. Led by Jack Lee, their song "Hanging On The Telephone" has recorded by Cat Power, Def Leppard, L7 and Deborah Harry and Blondie. When The Nerves disbanded, Jack Lee went solo, Peter Case formed The Plimsouls and Paul Collins formed The Beat. In his bands The Nerves and The Beat, Paul Collins has toured with numerous acts, including The Ramones, The Jam, The Police, Pere Ubu, Ian Gomm, Huey Lewis, Eddie Money and countless other names. Paul Collins Beat continues to tour the world, playing concerts in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Japan, France, Italy, England, Germany, and throughout Europe.
