The Leyton Buzzards {{aka}} The Buzzards were a British rock band, active between 1976[1] and 1980, best known for their minor hit single, "Saturday Night (Beneath the Plastic Palm Trees)". CareerThe band took their name from their home town of Leyton, an area of east London, punning upon the name of the Bedfordshire town, Leighton Buzzard. They were initially a pub rock band, but soon adapted to punk rock/new wave.[2] Their debut single, "19 and Mad", was released in 1977 by Small Wonder Records.[2] They won a high-profile "battle of the bands" competition organized by BBC Radio 1 and The Sun, resulting in a major-label deal with Chrysalis Records. the first fruits of this deal, "Saturday Night (Beneath the Plastic Palm Trees)", reached Number 53 in the UK Singles Chart in March 1979, spending five weeks in the chart, and led to an appearance on Top of the Pops.[2][3] The band shortened their name to The Buzzards for the 1979 single "We Make a Noise" and the album Jellied Eels to Record Deals, before reverting to The Leyton Buzzards for their final single, "Can't Get used to Losing You".[2] They recorded four sessions for BBC Radio One's John Peel between July 1978 and January 1980.[4] The band split up in 1980, with Deane and Jaymes going on to greater chart success with salsa-tinged pop act Modern Romance.[2] Line-up
