The Snobs were a British rock group active in the mid-1960s. The group, originally known as The Apostles, got their break after meeting Ivor Spencer, who became their manager. They were best noted for their gimmick of performing in 18th-century period costumes, complete with buckle shoes and powdered wigs. Their debut single, "Buckle Shoe Stomp", was co-written by Spencer and released on Decca Records in the UK in 1964. The Snobs were hugely popular in Sweden and Denmark; Decca released a further Scandinavian single featuring covers of "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Giddy Up a Ding Dong".

  • The Snobs were a British rock group active in the mid-1960s. The group, originally known as The Apostles, got their break after meeting Ivor Spencer, who became their manager. They were best noted for their gimmick of performing in 18th-century period costumes, complete with buckle shoes and powdered wigs.

The Snobs were hugely popular in Sweden and Denmark; Decca released a further Scandinavian single featuring covers of "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Giddy Up a Ding Dong". The group travelled to the United States in 1964, where they played several concerts, appeared on The Red Skelton Show, and recorded a never-released cover of "Love Potion No. 9" with producer Gary S. Paxton. The Snobs disbanded in 1965, having released only the two aforementioned singles. (en)

Deras kännetecken var att de uppträdde klädda i 1700-talsinspirerade kläder och peruker. The Snobs är kända endast för singeln "Buckle Shoe Stomp" som låg tolv veckor på Tio i topp 1964 (högsta placering #2). Den var även populär i Finland och Danmark. Låten är inspelad live, så ljudkvaliten är med tanke på den tidens utrustning inget vidare, men det framhäver i alla fall låtens råa sound. De släppte singeln "Heartbreak Hotel" endast i Sverige, men den blev ingen hit och gruppen upplöstes så småningom. (sv)
