The Teazers are a British pop music group, commonly associated with the 1970s mod revival. They formed in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk in 1978, with lead singer/guitarist Paul Hopfensperger, bass player/backing vocalist Lee Jacobs and Nigel Stemp on drums. They were known for their Jam inspired sound. The Teazers dis-banded in 1983 when their bass player from their second line-up, Andrew Leong-son, left to go to university. They re-formed with two of the three original band members, Paul Hopfensperger and Lee Jacobs and a new drummer, Simon Rutherford, for a Mods Mayday Concert in May 2024. The concert, which was at the Cambridge Junction in Cambridge, included 70s mod bands The Face, The Killermeters, The Chords and Squire.
