BEAU COUP is a renowned Cleveland Hard Rock outfit. The roots of the band lay in the early eighties when a trio comprising vocalist Tommy Amato, guitarist Mike McGuill and drummer Eric Mensinger would jam at the Agency Recording Studio upstairs of The Cleveland Agora venue. When JONAH KOSLEN & THE HEROES played the same locale one night, keyboard player Dennis Lewin was invited to hear the demos from the budding new band unit by manager Henry LoConti, Jr. Lewin expressed his interest and before long the band unit had been built up with the addition of Tommy's brother Frank along with bass player William March.
Billed as POP OPERA at this juncture assembled an EP of five songs and released 'Still In My Heart' as the first single. The first release was a strictly limited edition affair, with only 1000 copies pressed and is thus much sought after by collectors. With local radio station 98.5 WGCL giving the band exposure, Scotti Brothers Records became interested. However, determined to ditch the POP OPERA tag, the band was stamped as BEAU COUP just minutes before they appeared on the Cleveland television program 'Local Spotlight' hosted by WGCL's Dancin' Danny Wright. Unfortunately, despitre having signed to Scotti Brothers subsidiary Rock n' Roll Records a planned debut album was recorded but shelved. Subsequently drummer Eric Mensinger (a.k.a. Eric Singer) went on to find fame by progressing through the ranks of the LITA FORD band in May of 1984, BLACK SABBATH, THE CULT, BADLANDS, the GARY MOORE band and KISS.
BEAU COUP signed to Avion Records bot once again no product was forthcoming. Switching to A&M Records offshoot Amherst, courtesy of record promoter Michael Mannochio, the band released the long overdue debut 'Born And Raised On Rock And Roll', produced by Duane Baron and John Purdell and featured re-workings of two songs from the original six track album. The single 'Sweet Rachel' reached the mid 50's on the Billboard charts.
Tommy Amato bowed out to journey on to Los Angeles, where he racked up credits with SOUVENIER, STARFLEET and also played with SAVOY BROWN's Kim Simmonds. The BEAU COUP line-up evolved to feature BREATHLESS and THE INNOCENT man Rodney Psyka and drummer Jimmy Clark. The latter later teamed up with ex-STARZ, TYCOON and FRANKE & THE KNOCKOUTS guitarist Bobby Messano in MESSANO.
A second album, released three years down the line, featured a revised line-up. Gone were Psyka, guitarist Mike McGill and Clark, whilst Bill March replaced John Dean on bass. In 1991 Dennis Lewin was credited with producing a song on Cleveland guitar Virtuoso Neil Zaza's band ZAZA's album. 'Part With The Big Boys'.
March of 2004 witnessed a BEAU COUP reunion, including Eric Singer, to aid Tommy Amato's fight against cancer. In October of 2005 the band got back together once more, heading a bill backed by SOUVENIR, LOVERS LANE, ANDY GEROME and STAR FLEET, for a further cancer awareness gig, this time in memory of the late OZZY OSBOURNE, MÖTLEY CRÜE and LITA FORD drummer Randy Castillo.
