Pat Travers began playing in bands early in his teens; his
first bands were the Music Machine (not to be confused with the Californian
psychedelic/garage band of the same name), Red Hot, and Merge, which played in clubs in the
Quebec area.
While performing with Merge, he was noticed by rock artist Ronnie Hawkins, who invited
Travers to perform with him. In his early twenties Travers moved to London and signed a
recording contract with the Polydor label. His self-titled debut album was released in 1976. By
1978, hea had put together the Pat Travers Bnad. The band toured heavily, also supporting Rush
on their Drive til You Die tour.
The band then released a live album entitled Live! Go for What You Know, which featured the
hit “Boom Bom (Out Go The Lights).” By 1980 they again hit the charts wth “Snortin’
Whiskey.” A co-headlining tour with Rainbow followed, and the two bands performed in
major arenas across North America.
1982’s Black Pearl album include the hit single “I La La La Love You. In 1984 he released the
album Hot Shot,which was followed by a Greatest Hits album, his last release on Polydor.
Travers has continued to tour and record through the years, much to the delight of his loyal fan
base who call themselves “Hammer Heads.”
Today’s current Pat Travers band line-up consists of Pat Travers (guitars, vocals, keyboards),
Alex Petrosky (drums) and David Pastorius (bass/vocals).
