Chas & Dave is one of the best selling acts at Mbop. Here is a little story about them.
As the story goes, punk revolution started with Sex Pistols, but there was actually a duo from Edmonton, North London in 1973, who were the first band to write the first punk-rock anthem, a song titled Gertcha.
Following the trailer of punk, Chas & Dave got into trouble for swearing on television. The offending phrase was "cow son", an early 20th-century English version of the American "son of a bitch" used in Gertcha - proving that they may also have inadvertently invented gangsta rap. `That's an old-fashioned thing our mums and dads and grandads used to say,` says Chas Hodges.
`Their ploy of dressing as old men when in their 30s has certainly paid off - as the duo enter their 60s they still look much the same as they did on their early album sleeves,` writes Iain Aitch of the Guardian.
Chas & Dave are also famous for their collaborations with their beloved Tottenham Hotspur Football Club for which the duo wrote two football anthems. Libertines called on their inspirators to supprt them at the Forum and the Brixton Academy in London 2003 and 2004. On a interview for the Guardian, Chas commented; `Some in the pub the other day told me, ' W`ve always been a fan of you. W`ve got all your records. W've been a fan of you since we were kids. Which one of the two are you?'
