The Keys (English band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Keys were an English, London-based band active from 1979 until 1983. The band was formed by bassist Drew Barfield (later of the Big Heat and Los Pacaminos), guitarist Steve Tatler, Ben Grove, and Paul McCartney's former drummer Geoff Britton. Joe Jackson produced the band's only album, The Keys Album for A&M,[1] from which came several singles: "One Good Reason", "I Don't Wanna Cry" and "Greasy Money".[2]
