The 101ers were an English pub rock band, being notable as the band that gave Joe Strummer his initial start as a musician. Formed in May 1974 in London, the 101ers made their debut performance on September 6, 1974 at the Telegraph pub in Brixton under the name El Huaso and the 101 All Stars. The name would later be shortened to the 101 All Stars and finally just the 101'ers.
Shortly after the release of the debut single, "Keys to Your Heart", Joe Strummer joined the Clash and the 101ers were disbanded. The band's recorded output was initially limited to only one single. But in 1981, a compilation album Elgin Avenue Breakdown was released.
