Beat the Clock (BTC) is an American rock and roll band, best known for their versatility and funky groove while playing live.
The name[edit]
The name is said to come from a live gig played at a private party in Minneapolis where the band put up a large piece of paper on the wall, had the audience write down songs they wanted to hear, and then the band would play all of the songs before a certain time.
