NEWS! New photos of the boys and other cool shtuff!!

Social Voyeurs started in State College, Pennsylvania, United States in the early 1980's. Their founding members were Bob Sobol on Keyboards and Vocals, Bob Nolen on Drums, Keith Atkinson on Guitar and Vocals and Mark Newman on Bass and Vocals. Initially named Bobby Keys and the Igniters, they played clubs in State College such as the Phyrst, the Brewery, the Scorpion and events such as the Arts Festival, and later, in a triumphant return to the area, in front of 20,000 people at the Regatta, opening up for the Hooters.

They moved to Philadelphia and played the Cabaret clubs, Grendel's Lair, J.C. Dobbs, the Depot and the Khyber Pass. They went on to a winning performance on StarSearch, recording their EP, "The Boy and the Beat" at the Powerhouse Studios in Camden. They had airplay on such local radio stations as WYSP and WMMR. They had a loyal fan base centered in the Chestnut Hill / Mount Airy section of Philadelphia, where their rehearsals were based at the infamous "Black Rose Manor." Check back for more stories and pictures in the future.
