Tickets area available through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/event\/0900488BA38A317A?     artistid=963822&amp;majorcatid=10001&amp;minorcatid=60\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ticketmaster<\/a>, and at the door on the night of the event. <\/p>\n<p> The Beat arose in England in the late 70s and concocted a unique amalgam of punk, ska, and pop into an explosively popular style that, by the early 80s, swept the popular charts. With smart and sometimes caustic humor they catalyzed a generation of teenagers fed up with strident punk ire. <\/p>\n<p> Lead singer\/songwriter\/guitarist Dave Wakeling, who also fronted General Public, lacks pretense, but knows that good music is timeless. In fact, in this interview he takes some pleasure in pointing out that several of his songs, now more than 30 years old, have significant relevance today. <\/p>\n<p> This 30 minute conversation is a great peak into the vast talent that Wakeling embodies. For fans, it will be a treat, and for those just discovering his music, it will serve as an excellent primer. <\/p>\n<p> &#8212; <\/p>\n<p><em> For tickets, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/event\/0900488BA38A317A?     artistid=963822&amp;majorcatid=10001&amp;minorcatid=60\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ticketmaster<\/a> <\/p>\n<p> For more information about Dave, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davewakeling.com\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DaveWakeling.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p> For more information about The English Beat, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/englishbeat.net\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EnglishBeat.net<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p> Follow MADHaus Long Beach on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MADhouseLB\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-17226\" src=\"http:\/\/lbpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/davewakeling.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The English Beat is back, performing this Saturday night at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MADhouseLB\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MADHaus Long Beach<\/a>.
