Led by the former unmatchable from Generation X (non Billy Idol or Tony James, only guitar player Bob "Derwood" Andrews), Westworld likewise included American vocalizer Elizabeth Westwood and drummer Nick Burton. Named after the 1973 Disneyland catastrophe film, the deuce-ace applied pop sensibilities to the thug and post-punk forms Andrews had been immersed in, and hit number 11 on the British charts with their 1987 individual "Sonic Boom Boy." The group's only subsequent Top 40 success was "Ba-Na-Na-Bam-Boo," afterwards that yr, some other single from the Westworld debut record album Rockulator. Second album Beat Box Rock 'N' Roll followed in 1988, barely 1991's Movers & Shakers was the trio's lowest.
