The Wildebeests are a prominent British garage-rock "supergroup" known for their raw, high-energy beat music and signature "Dimbo beat" sound. Formed by veterans of the UK's garage and punk scenes, the band consists of:
John Gibbs: Bass and vocals (formerly of The Kaisers and Holly Golightly Band).
Lenny Helsing: Drums and vocals (formerly of The Thanes and Green Telescope).
Russ Wilkins: Guitar and vocals (formerly of The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, and The Delmonas).
The group is celebrated for using vintage equipment to create a "tin-can-trashy" garage aesthetic that blends 1960s beat music with punk influences.
