BEACH BOYS PBS 'AMERICAN MASTERS' SPECIAL IS IN THE WORKS

Mike habla sobre un documental para celebrar el 50 aniversario.

Esta es la noticia publicada por Jon Stebbins en el foro de smileysmile.net y realizada por Howie Edelson:


BEACH BOYS PBS 'AMERICAN MASTERS' SPECIAL IS IN THE WORKS
by Howie Edelson
__________________________________________

Mike Love says that a new Beach Boys retrospective is in the works for PBS' American Masters series in commemoration of the band's 50th anniversary which falls in 2011.

Love says that all eras of the band's history will be represented, with the principle bandmembers -- Love, Brian Wilson, Al Jardine, David Marks, and Bruce Johnston -- being featured through new and archival interviews and footage: "Well, I think the PBS special is absolutely going to happen, because there's so much existing footage. And it just entails some really nice interviews with the guys and culling stuff from the past. You get Carl (Wilson) involved there and Dennis (Wilson) involved and David Marks (laughs), y'know? So there's a lot of. . . I think there's a lot of -- in fact there is some dialogue with one of the producers at PBS and the American Masters program is definitely something, I think, should be done and will be done."

When asked about the program and the 50th anniversary being the springboard for the first attempted collaboration with cousin Brian Wilson in 15 years, Love -- as always -- remains open and willing for the legendary team to reunite: "The thing is with Brian, he's been doing a solo kind of deal for the last, oh, maybe 10 years now. But with Brian and myself, I honestly believe that we go back so far it transcends or goes beyond any of the dubious history -- y'know the water that's going over the dam in the last 20, 30 years or so. And when we are able to get together without any distractions, his abilities and my abilities are able to compliment each other pretty darn well -- as evidenced by all of the hits and great music we've done together."

When pressed about the possibility of the 50th anniversary celebrations being built around new Wilson-Love songs rather than solely an oldies show with the band's survivors, Love said: "Y'know, I have a very positive attitude towards getting together with Brian. And there have been some negative things that have gone on between us, but they weren't really between us, they were out of the control of each of us, so those things that were points of contention are in the past. So there's nothing but -- as far as I'm concerned -- the sky's the limit and very open to what you're suggesting."

There's been no official word on whether plans are in motion for the 50th anniversary reunion shows which have been previously mentioned by Love. Although the main players of a proposed reunion would be based around the Beach Boys' '60s lineups, Love was very open to '70s members Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar also participating.

Early industry rumors suggested that the Beach Boys' 50th anniversary might be a combination of both American Masters and Great Performances, combining both a new documentary with a live show of some sort.

Brian Wilson last performed with the Beach Boys in 1996. Carl Wilson died in 1998, Al Jardine was forced out of the band the same year. Dennis Wilson drowned in 1983.

The Beach Boys' company Brother Records Inc. (BRI), was formed in 1967 and is owned and controlled by Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, and the estate of the late Carl Wilson. Shortly after co-founder Dennis Wilson's death in 1983, his estate sold his shares back to the band to repay loans.

Mike Love, who continues to tour with Bruce Johnston, was granted the exclusive license by BRI to tour under the Beach Boys name. Although he is the only partner in the group out on the road, Brian Wilson, Jardine, and Carl Wilson's estate receive a percentage from each Beach Boys tour.

David Marks, who began making music with the Wilsons as a pre-teen, was a member of the Beach Boys from 1961 to 1963 and one of the five names on the band's original contract to Capitol Records. In 1990 Marks contributed to Brian Wilson's unreleased second solo album Sweet Insanity. Marks rejoined the Beach Boys in 1997 and stayed for three years. He occasionally sits in with the touring version of the Beach Boys, and now regularly appears in concert with fellow Beach Boys co-founder Al Jardine.

Guitarist Blondie Chaplin has been a part of the Rolling Stones' touring band since 1997, and Ricky Fataar now drums for Bonnie Raitt, among others.

Beach Boys/Brian Wilson Rarities - Nº 4

Extraño picture disc que compre la semana pasada en la "VIII Fira Internacional del Disc de Barcelona", presuntamente se trata de un test pressing. En una cara sale esta foto de los Beach Boys, y en la otra una de los Blues Brothers. Lo raro del asunto es que las canciones del disco son de Bob Dylan y The Band. Una curiosidad.

BRIAN WILSON FIRMA POR WALT DISNEY RECORDS

Hoy se ha hecho publico el acuerdo entre Brian Wilson y "WALT DISNEY RECORDS", para la publicación de dos nuevos discos de Brian. El primero sera de versiones de GEORGE AND IRA GERSHWIN, y el segundo de versiones de temas clásicos de Disney con el toque personal de Brian.

Esta es la nota de prensa oficial:

BRIAN WILSON SIGNS WITH WALT DISNEY RECORDS

BEACH BOYS CO-FOUNDER TO RECORD TWO ALBUMS, INCLUDING COVERS OF GEORGE AND IRA GERSHWIN CLASSICS

WILSON TO CRAFT COLLABORATIVE COMPOSITIONS FROM PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED MUSIC FROM GEORGE GERSHWIN


Burbank, CA – October 8, 2009 - Two giants of popular entertainment have come together as Brian Wilson, the pioneering musical genius who co-founded the Beach Boys and wrote many of the band's greatest hits, has signed with Walt Disney Records.


In the months ahead, Wilson will record two new solo albums for the label's Disney Pearl imprint, including one featuring covers of classic songs by great American songwriters, George and Ira Gershwin. For that recording, the Gershwin estate has given Wilson access to rare, unfinished pieces of music by George Gershwin, with which he will craft collaborative compositions unlike anything the world has seen.


He will follow that with an album of classic Disney songs, which the artist promises to “Brian-ize” with his trademark vocal stacks and unique arrangements. Release dates for each album have yet to be determined.


Said David Agnew, Walt Disney Records president and general manager of the Disney Music Group, “We are honored to be in business with one of the greatest musical artists of all time. It is impossible to overstate the impact Brian has had on contemporary music and culture -- it has been nothing less than profound. We look forward to partnering with Brian on this exciting new voyage in his musical journey.”


“I've always tried to make music that entertained people,” Wilson said. “I also wanted my music to last, to be able to speak to any generation. Thankfully, nearly 50 years since the Beach Boys were born, that seems to have come true. Now, a new musical chapter begins for me, and teaming up with Disney means it's going to be a chapter to remember. I promise.”


Wilson chose to record George and Ira Gershwin songs because he considers the late composers of classics like “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “Rhapsody in Blue” and “Summertime” as a critical influence on him. “I've always loved George Gershwin. The earliest music I remember hearing is 'Rhapsody in Blue,'” says Wilson, referring to Gershwin's groundbreaking 1924 orchestral piece. “Along with Irving Berlin, Gershwin basically invented the popular song, but he did something more. He had a gift for melody that nobody has ever equaled yet his music is timeless and always accessible. This is the most spiritual project I've ever worked on.”


Said Todd Gershwin (George Gershwin estate) and Michael Owen (Ira Gershwin estate): “The Gershwin families are delighted that the legendary musician Brian Wilson has chosen to record a collection of George and Ira Gershwin songs for his next project. In every generation, American music has been pushed forward by visionaries, from the Gershwin brothers to Brian Wilson. This latest interpretation will be a new opportunity to discover the magic of Gershwin music."


Like Gershwin, Brian Wilson is one of the great composers of the last 100 years. The Southern California native, along with his brothers, a cousin and a friend, formed the Beach Boys while still in his teens. With Wilson as chief songwriter and arranger, the band not only enjoyed dozens of hits, but changed music forever thanks to Brian's innovative melodies and harmonies. Songs like “I Get Around,” “Help Me, Rhonda,” “California Girls,” “Wouldn't It Be Nice,” and the #1 smash “Good Vibrations” remain indispensable staples in the rock 'n' roll canon. The band's “Pet Sounds” (1966) is regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time.

Wilson continued to make great music after the Beach Boys, with 10 solo albums including his breathtaking “Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE,” which he began recording in the 1960s and finally completed in 2004 to thunderous critical acclaim and Top 20 chart success (as well as earning a Grammy). A member of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, a Kennedy Center honoree and recipient of multiple Gold and Platinum records, Brian Wilson has earned his well-deserved pop music immortality.

Bruce Johnston y sus inicios en la musica.

Tras el concierto del pasado dia 27 en "L.A. County Fair", en Pomona, CA, Bruce recordo en el foro de "Beach Boys Britain" su debut en este mismo escenarioa hace la friolera de 51 años, en 1958 como musico acompañante del mitico Ritchie Valens.

Este es el comentario de Bruce:

This past Sunday we played a sold out Beach Boys concert at the LA County Fair in Pomona, California. It was a great 'CD Juke Box" ninety minute kind of performance (unlike the always wonderful/just under three hours England-Scotland-Wales-Ireland concerts that we occasionally do). The band played & sang admirably and it was a fun night for all of us. This coming Sunday we get to perform in Little Rock, Arkansas with their symphony orchestra. I always love our different worldwide concert configurations. We even have six symphony orchestra concerts booked in Australia in early 2010.

Now here's why I posted: Fifty-one summers ago I played the same fair back in September 1958 as a non-singing piano playing musician in a house/backup band. We played indoors in some sort of large exposition hall. I think the fair was called the Pomona Fair back then but it was a 'sold out' performance (98 cents per ticket!!!) sponsored by the number one AM radio station in Los Angeles: KFWB (channel 98...color radio!!)...The artists on the bill were: Johnny Cash, The Teddy Bears, The Kingston Trio (just as their recording of "Tom Dooley" was rapidly climbing the US charts), The Billy Vaughn Orchestra, Jan & Arnie, Johnny Burnette, and Ritchie Valens ("Come On, Let's Go" was his first 'regional' hit in the fall of 1958). I was in the small house band backing up Ritchie most of the summer and I guess that was part of my first step into the 'live' part of the music business. FYI: Sandy Nelson on drums in our band.

The biggest thrill for sixteen year old me was to be able to talk to all these artists backstage besides being on stage myself (actually, barely on stage!!).

Thanks for letting me ramble & time travel!

Taylor Mills - Nuevo CD

El próximo día 13 de octubre sale a la venta el segundo disco de Taylor Mills.

Esta es la nota de prensa oficial:

Taylor Mills is back. After recording and touring the globe with music legend Brian Wilson and releasing her critically acclaimed 2007 debut, "Lullagoodbye" she returns with her alluring and unforgettable sophomore effort, "Under The Surface." No doubt you've heard her strong yet disciplined emotional vocals and this exceptional collection of new songs is another testament to her musical prowess.

Mills has spent the better part of ten years in Brian Wilson's band, called by Sir Paul McCartney as "The best touring band in the world. Period." She now returns with the same team that produced "Lullagoodbye" which critics called "a stunning and thrilling pleasure" and "superior sunshine pop/rock." As Mills explains, "Working with Scott Bennett (band mate in Brian Wilson's band, co producer) and Todd Sucherman (Mills' husband, co producer and drummer for the platinum selling STYX) is such a creative joy. It just feels like everything is in the right place and it makes the process of making music exciting and rewarding. Hopefully that spirit is passed along to the listener."

"Under The Surface" is her new release for 2009 and like her previous effort runs a gamut of emotions with lyrical and aural scenery that becomes more intriguing with every listen. "I think records that grow on you over multiple plays are the ones that ultimately mean more to you over the years. I know I feel that way. You have to work for it in a sense because something that is 'instantly catchy' can often be shallow or become boring quickly." Mills continues, " There's something special about hearing a song for the fourth or fifth time and realizing that you are falling in love with that song. It's almost a microcosmic feeling of actually falling in love with a slow burn."

Perhaps this gives us an insight to the album's title. "Well, perhaps" she explains. "It's also about various conflicts that people deal with regularly. Conflicts with love, self, relationships, loss, dreams and ambitions. And just under the surface of the facade we show people in daily life there could be issues brewing that need to be dealt with----and these are some of the issues that the characters in the songs have to face and ultimately overcome."

With songs mostly penned by collaborator Scott Bennett, "Under The Surface" also includes a song by long time friend and ex Falling Wallendas band-mate Allen Keller as well as a remake of "I Wanna Stay Home" by the Beach Boys influenced band "Jellyfish." Keller's contribution, "St. Louis Misery" is a heart aching confession of adultery sweetly sung by Mills. "Melody" has the story of an aging singer seeing the spotlight drift away and contains the thought, "dreams don't age gracefully." Taylor is an emotional powerhouse on "Kiss My Soul" and "Best Intentions" but never flaunts her chops instead using them at the perfect time for an emotional swell. The collection's most upbeat moment comes with the uptempo "Living Room" co written by Bennett and Drake Bell, from the popular Nickelodeon show "Josh and Drake." "If We Let Go" is a sultry, smokey duet between Mills and Bennett that features Brian Wilson band mate Probyn Gregory on Flugelhorn and Sucherman's jazzy touch on the drums."

This might be a slightly mellower, more piano driven record than the last one" Mills explains. "The whole creative process was much faster this time due to working in the holes of our touring schedule and the fact we have our own studio now." "Under The Surface" is another showcase for Mills' range as singer/storyteller and lets collaborators Bennett and Sucherman shine as well.

Scott Bennett has spent his tenure in Brian Wilson's band along side Taylor Mills and has worked on various TV shows and other musical projects. In 2008 he co-wrote and co-produced Brian Wilson's "That Lucky Old Sun" which included Taylor's talents as well as Sucherman on drums. The release received 4 starts in Rolling Stone and Mojo magazines. Todd Sucherman continues to hold the drum chair in the band STYX and still makes time for other recording and performing duties. In the 2009 Modern Drummer magazine reader's poll he was voted #1 rock drummer and his dvd "Methods and Mechanics" which featured songs from Lullagoodbye was voted #1 instructional DVD.

Can we look forward to more from Mills in the near future? "I hope so but for now my commitment is to Brian and the band. We'll be touring some more this year and it's an honor to perform that music with him--- someone who's one of the 20th century's greatest composers. But with "Under The Surface" I feel like this record is where I'm at now and we'll take our time before embarking on another effort. I'm proud of this record. I feel nothing on it is dated or kitschy. Ultimately at the end of the day we have to be proud of what we've done and that's what matters most."

"Under The Surface" is another stunning accomplishment from Taylor Mills and her crew, sure to charm and engage listeners with that emotional slow burn she desires. We said hello to Taylor with "Lullagoodbye" and now we get a deeper, more intense look at her "Under The Surface."

BEACH BOYS ARCHIVE INCLUDES LEGENDARY 1972 CARNEGIE HALL TAPES

Interesante articulo sobre las cintas de los legendarios conciertos de "Carnegie Hall 1972" y la posibilidad de que algún día vean la luz. De momento solo son suposiciones.


BEACH BOYS ARCHIVE INCLUDES LEGENDARY 1972 CARNEGIE HALL TAPES

by Howie Edelson


The Beatles aren't the only '60s icons preserving their legendary catalogue and vault; the Beach Boys' team is hard at work cataloging the thousands of tapes which make up their archive. The team -- chief archivist Alan Boyd and producer/engineer Mark Linett -- has recently collected all of the known elements of the band's unfinished 1967 album Smile, and have now uncovered the multi-tracks for the Beach Boys' two historic concerts at New York's Carnegie Hall on November 23rd, 1972.

For years, only half of one of the shows has been available in pristine stereo on the underground market. Boyd says that the band's company Brother Records is in possession of all of the multi-track masters of the shows, and is now collecting appropriate film and video footage which could be included on a potential project.

Elvis Costello saw the Beach Boys six months prior to the Carnegie Hall show in his then-hometown of Liverpool, and was amazed at how the band's current image and musicality transcended their iconic '60s image: "I saw the Beach Boys in Liverpool at the Liverpool Empire. That was a very different experience. They were in that... one of the periods, although Carl and Dennis (Wilson) were singing in the band, Brian (Wilson) wasn't with them, but the Surf's Up album and the beautiful Carl And The Passions album were out -- and Holland -- those records were out. Dennis sang an extraordinary version of "Cuddle Up" at that gig, which I'll never forget. That was an incredible thing to see; because although the main writer wasn't present, you realize that they had reclaimed themselves as a creative band away from the cliched idea of these guys that sing these car songs and dress in stripey shirts."

The songs performed by the Beach Boys at Carnegie Hall: "Sloop John B.," "You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone," "Leaving This Town," "Darlin'," "Only With You," "Heroes And Villains," "Long Promised Road," "Don't Worry Baby," "Student Demonstration Time," "I Get Around," "Marcella," "California Saga," "Help Me, Rhonda," "Medley: Wonderful/Don't Worry Bill," "God Only Knows," "Do It Again," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "Wild Honey," "Good Vibrations," "Surfin' U.S.A," "Fun, Fun, Fun," and "Jumpin' Jack Flash."

The official members of the Beach Boys at the time were Dennis and Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Blondie Chaplin, and Ricky Fataar.

Alan Boyd says that his and Linett's primary public duties for the Beach Boys are locating the masters to the band's earlier work, and remixing them into modern stereo mixes for the band's numerous career-spanning compilations: "The fans and the public at large really seem to like these new stereo mixes, and that was really apparent when Mark did Pet Sounds in 1997. And the reaction to that is so strong that he started looking at other albums and other tracks, so every time we have the opportunity -- we did a lot of this on the Hawthorne record -- we've been going back and doing that, 'cause there's so much pressure brought to bear, y'know, in the market, for things to be in stereo."

Boyd and Linett -- both Grammy nominees -- have collaborated on such recent Beach Boys collections as Endless Harmony, Hawthorne, CA, Good Timin': Live At Knebworth England 1980, The Warmth Of The Sun, The Original U.S. Singles Collection The Capitol Years 1962-1965 box set, and the recently released Summer Love Songs.

Linett is also known for his work with Brian Wilson over the past two decades -- including the revamping of the entire Beach Boys' catalogue beginning in the late 1980's. Linett's work on 2004's Brian Wilson Presents Smile was nominated for a Grammy for Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical).

Beach Boys Live 2009

Dos videos de un concierto reciente de los Beach Boys, concretamente del pasado 5 de mayo en el "Boston Opera House", en Boston, Massachusetts, en el transcurso de la convencion AAO.

Endless Summer Quarterly - Summer 2009

Se acaba de publicar el numero de verano del mítico fanzine "Endless Summer Quarterly", dedicando gran parte su contenido a una repaso exhaustivo al LP "Summer Days And Summer Nights!!"(realizado por Craig Slowinski) , además de la sección de novedades, criticas de discos, etc...

Como en otras ocasiones este numero se ha publicado con dos portadas distintas.

Reedición "The Many Moods Of Murry Wilson"

Recientemente se ha reeditado en CD el disco de Murry Wilson "The Many Moods Of Murry Wilson", que llevaba descatalogado desde hacia muchos años, y que solamente se había editado en CD en japón.

Reedición Pet Sounds

Recientemente se acaba de reeditar el “Pet Sounds” en el formato “24 Karat Gold CD”. Se había editado por primera vez en 1993 y hacia mucho que estaba descatalogado, siendo una pieza bastante codiciada.

Reedición en vinilo del "Sunflower" y "Surf's Up"

Capitol Records acaba de reeditar en vinilo los míticos LPs “Sunflower” y “Surf’s Up” , dentro de su sección “From Capitol Vaults”. Se trata de edicones limitadas muy cuidadas de vinilo de 180 gramos, con una reproducción de las carpetas originales muy fidedignas.




























Recordemos que a finales del año pasado y también dentro de la sección "From de Vaults" Capitol ya reeditó en vinilo el "Pet Sounds" y el doble recopilatorio "Endless Summer".

Nueva sección en Bellagio 10452

Tenemos nueva sección en la excelente web de Andrew G. Doe. Se trata de una sección donde podemos ver las posiciones de los discos en las listas de ventas americanas semana a semana desde 1962 a 2008, tanto de los Beach Boys como de sus discos en solitario.

Pinchar aquí para ir a la web de Bellagio 10452.

Bruce Johnston

Muchas felicidades para el gran Bruce Johnston en su 67 cumpleaños.

Brian Wilson European Tour 2009

El administrador de la web oficial de Brian ha hecho público algunos temas poco o nada habituales que Brian incluirá en su próxima gira Europea que empieza el próximo día 4 de Julio en Munich. En total son 8 temas, 4 son temas de autos de los Beach Boys y los otros 4 son temas de Brian en solitario. Son estos:

- Shut Down
- 409
- Custom Machine
- Little Deuce Coupe
- Soul Searchin'
- Melt Away
- Imagination
- Desert Drive

Evidentemente la principal rareza es "Custom Machine", aunque "Shut Down" tampoco la ha interpretado nunca en solitario, "409" solo en un concierto en los 90 y "Little Deuce Copue" también solo en una ocasión en el año 2003. Los 4 temas de Brian en solitario si han sido interpretados con mas asiduidad, aunque de manera discontinua.


Estas son las fechas de la gira europea de este mes de Julio:

July 4 — Munich, Germany (Deutsches Theater)
July 5 — Nuremberg, Germany (Serenadenhof)
July 6 — Amsterdam, Holland (Paradiso)
July 8 — Germany (Tempodrom)
July 9 — Germany (Museumplatz)
July 11 — Guilford, Surrey, England (GuilFest, Stoke Park)
July 12 — Gateshead, Tyneside, England (The Sage Gateshead)

The Sunny Boys en España

Tras el éxito de sus dos primeros conciertos en tierras españolas el pasado me de enero, este verano vuelven a España los Sunny Boys, una de las mejores bandas de tributo a los Beach Boys.

Estas son las fechas previstas:

23 julio Madrid
24 julio Valencia
25 Julio Benidorm
