Status Quo are a rock band that formed in 1962. Hailing from Catford, London, England, they are one of the most consistently successful groups of all time, who have more UK hit singles than any other band and play huge shows all over the world to this day.

For a band who’ve become something of a byword for steady, water-treading reliability in the world of rock and roll, Status Quo have had a pretty weird old career when you think about it. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the fact that they’re still going as strong as ever, half a century after they started and a good few decades after the brand of boogie rock that they continue to play to this day became stale in the eyes of the record buying public. Yet, here they are, still able to sell out arenas across the globe, still able to to score top ten albums and still able to slay festivals in their sixth decade together as a band. Really, you couldn’t make it up if you tried.

I suppose it makes sense that the band formed in secondary school. There’s something profoundly “boys own” about the band and they’ve never quite lost that feel that they’re still schoolboy scamps who made good at heart. I mean, what else can you say about two sexagenarians who posed nude on their latest album cover with acoustic guitars preserving their modesty? Anyway, the band began in 1962 as The Scorpions, formed by lead guitarist and singer Francis Rossi, and original bassist Alan Lancaster. A year later they changed their name to The Spectres, added John Coghlan on the drums and by 1966 The Spectres were signed to Piccadilly Records. However, success would not come easily to the band, and their first couple of singles sank without a trace.

This would all change in the following year however, since back in 1965, Rossi had become close friends with fellow guitarist and singer Rick Parfitt. The pair had vowed to work together on some kind of musical project but nothing came of it until 1967, when Rossi completed the vintage Quo line-up by adding Parfitt as co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist. Not for nothing was this Quo line-up referred to as the “Frantic Four”. Also in 1967, the band discovered psychedelia, which was to be their making as a band. That’s right, Status Quo, them of the four chord barroom boogie rock, got their big break with a psychedelic rock song. Namely 1968’s “Pictures Of Matchstick Men”.

The song was an astonishing hit, reaching the top ten in the U.K and Canada, whilst also reaching number 12 in the U.S. However, try as they might, they failed to make lightning strike twice and after their second album tanked they went back to the drawing board. What they came up with would change their lives forever, and the band abandoned psychedelia in both sound and look, in favour of hard rock, faded jeans and white T-shirts. In 1970 they debuted this new look and sound in the album “Ma Kelly’s Greasy Spoon” but it wasn’t until 1972 that it began to catch on. ’72 was the year they signed to renowned hard rock label Vertigo, and with “Piledriver”, their first album on the label, they had a top five hit album, a run of three hit singles and the rock world was suddenly their oyster.

Since then the band’s only rivals have been legends like The Stones and The Who. Jagger and Richards’ band are to this day the only band to have more hit albums on the UK charts than them, and it’s estimated that they’ve played 6000 live shows in total to over 25 million people. However, what makes them so vital is that while members come and go, the band lives and dies with Parfitt and Rossi, whose friendship and collaboration has been the constant driving force of the band. Few other bands can lay a claim like that, just like few other bands can lay as convincing a claim to being true national treasures as Status Quo can. Highly recommended.

Live reviews

Recent shows have seen Status Quo play in a reformed version of their classic seventies line-up of Francis Rossi (guitar, vocals), Rick Parfitt (guitar, vocals), Alan Lancaster (bass, vocals) & John Coughlan (drums) regularly referred to now as The Frantic Four.

They played a brilliant set based on the seminal 1976 "Live!" album, that is a bluesier, heavier version of Quo. I'd happily watch this version of band do the same set every year from now until the end of time but all good things have to come to an end and it's likely from now on the line-up will revert to the more familiar "Party Quo" line-up.

"Party Quo" are still led by Rossi & Parfitt and feature long time Quo members John Edwards on bass, and Andy Bown on keyboards along with a drummer, most recently Leon Cave. They are likely to play bigger venues and more often than not manage a Christmas tour of the UK.

The set list still features songs from the band's seventies peak and you're likely to hear plenty of heavy rock classics such as Caroline, Paper Plane, Down Down & Roll Over Lay Down. However, with "Party Quo" you'll get more of the more recent hits like Whatever You Want, Rocking All Over The World and In The Army Now.

Either line-up will give you a couple of hours of great rock'n'roll and even if you only have a passing fancy in the band you're almost guaranteed to have a good time. I've seen the band in various line-ups over 30 times and have enjoyed every single one.

Status Quo remain one of the best live bands you're likely to see which is pretty impressive for a bunch of musicians who are old enough to collect their bus pass.

Report as inappropriate

Status Quo are still as unbelievable live as they have ever been, playing true to their names as legends of Rock n Roll. The band has been one of the biggest musical names in British rock history since they formed back in 1962. It is incredible to think that they are still going strong, and that many of their classic 70s hits are still huge anthems today. The crowd that lined up to watch the band perform proved how popular Status Quo still are and always will be: there were young teenagers, 20 somethings, families and rock veterans in the crowd, all equally excited to see the iconic band live. Status Quo did not disappoint. They hashed out a number of classic 70s hits such as ‘Caroline’ and ‘Paper Plane’ as well as fan favourites such as ‘Whatever You Want’ and ‘Rocking All Over the World’. Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt led the vocals and guitars, and both received an incredible reaction from the crowd. They were joined by the rest of the Frantic Four in a reformation of the band’s classic line up from their golden years.

I left in a glass half full mood.

Don't get me wrong, the concert was excellent and on a rough calculation, this was my 50th Quo gig. Francis Rossi is the best frontman in rock. Ritchie Malone was an able deputy for the missing Rick Parfitt. Alas, it was the last night of the electrics. I will no longer be able to rock along with the mighty Quo.

That's why I left the gig, although mightily fulfilled, a little sad.

The Quo have been there to rock out to, for most of my teens and then adult life.

Goodbye to the electrics I will miss it.

If you feel inclined to do the odd electric gig though in the future, I'll be first in line for tickets.

Quo will always be my musical love, the music, the stage presence and that catchy boogie riff. Audiences around the UK will miss them, but memories will remain forever. I love the Quo and I don't care who knows it.

A great night and the 98th time I've seen them and one of the best yet. The set list was much as you would expect it, but at least you know what you are getting! The band seemed to be really enjoying themselves last night.

With support from REO Speedwagon who I've not seen before but they rocked! Playing for 1 hour with an impressive stage set for a support band.

Plus the Lounge Kittens which were better than I expected doing about 30mins

The 6.35 start time caught a few people out, but a good value gig.

I saw Status Quo at the beginning of the month at the Bournemouth International Centre. Francis Rossi is the only one of their classic lineup but the Quo still rock throughout the night, performing a good variety of new songs and their classic hits. Francis provides good humour all round and interaction with the audience. More highlights included a rocking encore of ‘Burning Bridges’, and a medley of many of their old hits that they couldn’t fit in full rolled into one.

Would see again

Saw Quo at Bournemouth 9th December and what an amazing night. After years of promising ourselves to go we were not disappointed. Francis Rossi brings such energy to stage and as always has the crowd eating out of his hand.

His sense of humour and obvious enjoyment of being on stage still shines through. Bought tickets for brother as early Christmas present he said probably best Christmas present ever had. Thank you to all the group for giving us a proper show.Long may you continue.

Fantastic Acoustic performance - 9 in the band. Rossi very much on form. Non stop hits - played 1.5 hours non stop with very little talking. Back to back music. Prefer the acoustic shows. I'd recommend both the show and the venue but not the prices inside. £9 something for a small bottle water, small Diet Coke and 2 bags of crisps. £4.50 per tub for ice cream and there was only chocolate flavour available. Take your own refreshments with you would be my advice.

Fantastic night and everything you expect from the mighty Quo. What was a surprise was the amazing support act Cats in Space. They were probably the best support group I've ever seen. Downloaded their albums and I would pay just to see them in future.

Back to the Quo; as brilliant as always. Really enjoyed last year's acoustic show and sadly miss Rick. The band did a great job of carrying on and long may they continue.

To night out. Thank you Songkick.

Uriah Heep opened, and my god can they still sing and play! Those oldtimers knocked it out of the park....

Then Status Quo came in with medley after medley and just rocked it oldschool! The venue was also very well organized and everything went according to plan, because both bands were very punctual.

It was really worth it purchasing the golden circle ticket, because it wasn´t too expensive, but still very confortable and not completly full.

as i went with my partner i have been 2 times he has been 118 this band may be getting on a bit but they sure know how to rock and put on a good show starting with Caroline at 9 pm and finishing with burning bridges at 10.30 pm with lots in between amazing don't for get the warm up band cats in space a very good choice very good seats all in all 11 out of 10

About status quo.

Formed in 1999, Quo-incidence are an authentic tribute to rock legends Status Quo. The band have performed with ex Quo drummer, Jeff Rich and supported current Bassist John 'Rhino' Edwards' band. Rhino and other members of the Quo management were very complimentary of the bands performance. Quo-incidence have played many festivals, theatres and social clubs etc, alongside venues such as Eastbourne Bandstand, The Fleece in Bristol and more recently played to a crowd of 3,000, supporting Queen Will Rock You, at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool. Status Quo have been at the top of their game for nearly six decades and Quo-incidence aim to keep the music alive when Quo themselves finally bring down the curtain on their illustrious careeer.  

Playing a set of up to 2 hours, if you are looking for the nearest thing to status quo, you won't be disappointed.

sTATUS QUO FOREVER  

A TRIBUTE TO BRITAIN'S NUMBER 1 HIT MAKERS: STATUS QUO

A Status Quo tribute band dedicated to the sound, energy and vibe of britain’s number 1 hitmaking rockband.

For the ultimate Quo experience: the sound, the energy, the show.

We are a Dutch Status Quo tribute band and well known as a festival band. We prefer to focus on a wide audience. We choose the sound, energy and dynamics of live recordings and shows over the often more polished studio recordings. Playing as many hits as possible is more important to us than guitar solos of more than 10 minutes.

To get as close as possible to the original sound of our heroes, we have chosen to distribute the vocals and guitar parts in the same way as Francis and Rick did. Two singers, with their own sound, who alternately fill in the lead or backing vocals. The guitar parts are also filled in as with the original: Francis lead guitar and Rick the rhythm parts. A unique Status Quo tribute band. Book Status Quo Forever now for a festival (approx. 75 minutes) or a full show (approx. 2.5 hours). Expect a memorable performance from with the energy, sound and dynamics so typical for Status Quo , but which also does justice to the harmonious vocals / guitar playing of frontmen Rossi / Parfitt. Of course we play all the big hits but also, especially for the fans, we complete the set with lesser-known gems such as Slow Train, Rolling Home and Big Fat Mama. We do not limit ourselves to the Frantic Four period. We believe that there are many good songs written after this period as well. Our mission is to introduce a larger audience to the fantastic songs of The Quo because this band deserves a wider interest. We play as many hits and accessible songs as possible and hope to reach new fans. Read more

The new tour 2 + 0 + 2 + 2 In Search of the Fourth Variant starts in February celebrating 40 years since the release of the Status Quo album 1 + 9 + 8 + 2 with a little added humour. 

The lads have made the best out of 2021 with the lack of rehearsals due to  restrictions, hopefully all that will change for 2022. 

On that note we would like to wish you all a very Happy and Safe New Year. Statease Quo  

To Be or Not To Be Tour

After a long  nations  due to long down the boys are finally back on the road, unfortunately this years gigs will come to a end on December 4th 2021 and the boys will be back out rocking in 2022.

with a successful return and debut at new venue the lads have all  received  very positive feedback from crowds that were in attendance at both The Railway in Nantwich and The Cosey in Haslington. They will be returning to The Hare and Hounds in December for the final gig of the year as of this writing.

All of us here at Statease Quo hope to see you all rocking with us in the near future.

Boy Are Back in Town

You are reading correctly, the boys are back in town on Sunday 29th August 2021 after being asked by the Railway in Nantwich to Headline the Sunday night of the bank holiday.  All the lads are so thrilled to be getting back on the stage and rocking out with the crowd once again after a long  gruelling  Lockdown  that has kept them and everyone globally apart since March 2020.  Already the boys are planning together a rocking set for all the crowd and can't wait to get back rehearsing.  More dates to be announced asap once we are given the go ahead form the venues and our little Bob as we call him get all preps sorted for the site. Once again we can't wait to see you there. Keep on Rocking on. Statease Quo Jimmy, Nick, Gaz and Chris  

Rocking Out of Lockdown Tour 21/22 To Be or Not To Be

It's been a long while since we at  States  Quo have been able to give anything positive from the band, with Covid taking over the world and stopping us from being able to play for our followers we are hoping near the end of 2021  will  will be able to get back out on the stage and put on a rocking show for you all. We are currently in talks with a couple of venues for gigs later this year but not announcing anything yet until we get a full green light however we will keep you all informed when we get that green light. 

Now with all  that said we hope to be back on the stage by end of the year and will look forward to seeing you all at our gigs, it's been way too long and we have missed rocking.   

Due to the on going crisis we are all facing and the announcement that all clubs, Bars etc must close for the forseeable future our gigging calender for the time being is going to be as dodgy as Nick Parfitts Hairline

All being well but highly doubtful at the present moment our next gig should be at the Raven on Saturday 2nd May.

We will keep you updated throughout this process and we look forward to bringing rocking nights to the venues later in the year.

From us all in the band keep safe and lets kick this coronavirus in the arse.

THE RETURN OF STATEASE QUO

After 3 and a half years Statease Quo made  their  return on Friday 25th October 2019 live at the Raven in Crewe with a new lineup, new songs and new  crowd. The lads have been working really hard since January this year rehearsing every few weeks to bring the crowd a night to remember. Jimmy who plays the part of lead guitarist Francis Rossi dealt with taking the reigns at lead vocalist absolutely superbly, leading the show is never a easy task. Nick who now plays the part of the legendary late Rick Parfitt, powered through the night on rhythm and backing vocals again absolutely superb effort. Now we come to Chris on bass, what can we say he smashed it well and truly. true entertainer and certainly a fantastic bass player, getting the crowd going along with Jimmy while Nick powered out in true Parfitt style. Obviously we  can't  forget Gaz on the drums, the original member from the first lineup from 2015 - 2016, bringing true sound of all Status Quo  drummers from over the years, banging out the songs in true fashion.

All the guys were nervous but excited to get on the stage and it couldn't  have been any better for them. The crowd from the Raven were amazing and gave true support to Statease Quo returning to the stage for the first time in 3 and a half years. Feedback after the gig was truly amazing, everyone giving out such positivity to the lads, comments can be seen on the Facebook page and also the  feedback  from the venue itself on  their  facebook page.

We will be returning in 2020

For now we here at Statease Quo want to wish everyone a Rocking Christmas and New Year. Thank you all who came out to support our return to the stage and we look forward to rocking out with you all next year.
