HEADLINER
Inner Circle, also known as The Inner Circle Band or The Bad Boys of Reggae, are a Jamaican reggae band formed in Kingston in 1968. The band first backed The Chosen Few in the early 1970s before joining with successful solo artist Jacob Miller and releasing a string of records.
In 1986 they released several international hit singles, including "Sweat (A La La La La Long)" and "Bad Boys", which later became the theme to the American television show COPS, and won the reggae hit makers a GRAMMY award in 1993 for Best Reggae Album by Duo or Group. The group continued to record and tour thereafter.
Brothers Ian and Roger Lewis have remained the group's consistent members, playing bass and guitar, respectively. Other long-term members include keyboardist Bernard "Touter" Harvey, a member since 1973, and drummer Lancelot Hall, who joined during their 1986 reformation. The band's lineup is completed by singer Trevor "Skatta" Bonnick and lead guitarist Andre Philips.
