Rococo were an 80's rock band, based in Edinburgh Scotland.
Rococo formed in 1986 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The core members were Ross McVie (rhythm guitar and lead vocals), Roddy Wilde (lead and rhythm guitar, keyboards and b-vox), Iain Summers (bass, drums and b-vox) and Colin Dawson (lead and rhythm guitar, keyboards and b-vox). During this period, we used at least five different drummers (including Iain). Iain played drums on many of our studio recordings, but would play bass when we performed live. It seemed that every time we got a new drummer sufficiently well rehearsed to start gigging with us, he would leave shortly after and the recruitment / rehearsal process would start again. It was a shame as we were getting some really positive reviews. The first drummer was Dougie Barton and he was superb - he had a Phil Collins style to his drumming. He left when his job moved him down south. Next was Dave [??] - he was a Simon Philips style drummer - solid as a rock and seriously loud. I think he left to try to make his living as a drummer. Next we borrowed Craig Hannah part time from another band and finally Alan Henderson took on the role. Rococo composed and recorded a lot of original material over a relatively short time period; almost enough for two albums. Some was done using a four track porta-studio, and some was recorded in David Gray's studio in Penicuik. As is often the case with bands, there were musical differences and the band split up in '88. Despite this, we have remained friends over the years and in 2003 we did a re-union gig as part of a charity fund-raising event for Edinburgh Sick Children’s Hospital and Radio Lollipop organised by one of our many former drummers, Alan Henderson. Another re-union gig took place in 2011.

Lyrics
Why mess around Pretending that you don't need nothing Come out on the town Stick to me and I'll sell you something Just what you want Catch me with my headlights blazing Doesn't matter if you're really not sure Stick to me and I'll give you the reason Get it (the push) You can't live without it It gives you that something, of that there's no doubt It's called the push (get it) You can't live without it It gives you that something But better be quick these things don't last forever. Can I catch you’re eye; there’s money in your pockets burning Spend and buy; I’ve got the things to set you’re head turning. Come into my reach; I’ve got some crazy powers Doesn’t matter if you’re really not sure Give me just a minute and I’ll have you for hours. Get it (the push); you can't live without it. It gives you that something, of that there's no doubt. It's called the push (get it); you can't live without it. It gives you that something. Get it (the push); you can't live without it. It gives you that something, of that there's no doubt. It's called the push (get it); you can't live without it. It gives you that something. But better be quick these things don't last forever (The push); you can't live without it. It gives you that something, of that there's no doubt. It's called the push (get it); you can't live without it. It gives you that something. The Push The Push (The push); you can't live without it. It gives you that something, of that there's no doubt. It's called the push (get it); you can't live without it. It gives you that something, of that there's no doubt. It's called the push (get it); you can't live without it. It gives you that something, of that there's no doubt.
