 MASHUPS & ORIGINALS BY THE WHO BOYS(click on the icons to go to the main site downloads) **GIG ALERT**  MASHUP ALBUMSTALES OF TOWNSHEND & WILSON (2004) THE WHO MEET THE BEACH BOYS in a mash-up extravaganza, copulate and give birth to The Who Boys, the enfants-terribles of mash-up. The Who and The Beach Boys sliced up and cooked on a griddle of drum n bass, dub and hard electronic rhythm. A cultural and musical hybrid, a quantum leap across four decades, as the analogue sounds of The Who and The Beach Boys come back across time and space, enter a computer hard drive, are processed into new tracks, new songs, new phrases, and are thrown back out into virtual space... The Who Boys, Dubby Dick Turpins of the internet highway, robbing samples from the rich and complacent major labels, and giving the proceeds back to the poor and hip, needy and worthy. The Who Boys, online, on time, in time, and through time for all time, give you the story of Pete Townsend and Brian Wilson as you never heard it before... The Who meet The Beach Boys, and give birth to a groove monster, The Who Boys, modern, beyond mash-up, pure deranged genius... The Who Boys, The Who Boys, The Who Boys...Track List 01 - Fun n Bass ______________________________________________________ FOR MASH GET SMASHED (2006) THE WHO BOYS RETURN!

Track List 01 - Fun & Bass Part 3 (extended mix) _______________________________________________________   In 2005 a project was started featuring guest collaborators, artists, poets and performers we had met at The Foundry, a bar and gallery in East London, where The Who Boys had performed regularly for a long time. The change in the UK licensing laws in 2005 meant that the Who Boys and these other performers would no longer be able to perform live there anymore, as the venue was not allowed to have anything that constituted a live performance without first applying for an entertainment license. It was the end of an era. The project was originally to be called 'Lost and Foundry', to commemorate this loss and capture the spirit of the characters and performers on this album, but then Rathmell, who is bloody-minded, fell out with one of the owners. Also we worried that no one would know what The Foundry is outside of East London anyway, so as a title it would make no sense to anybody else in the world. Instead we decided to call it the Quite Album. Why? Because it's quite long, there are quite a lot of quite short tracks, there are quite a lot of participants and it's quite a departure for us in terms of style and approach. It's also quite bloody good, cunt. Inspired by The Commercial Album by The Residents, we wanted to make a collection of very short tracks where we reduced songwriting to its basic elements, working fast and often improvising. After years of spending ages on tracks, agonising over every detail, we wanted to bring more spontaneous creativity back into it and maybe learn something about songwriting in the process, or indeed what a song can be. And have some bloody FUN, instead of being precious and thinking too much. So welcome to The Quite Album - a dark, experimental journey through our culture. Quite. ______________________________________________________ UPCOMING EP PREVIEW: Track List (track-by-track -- keep coming back) 01 - Music to Murder Spies By _______________________________________________________ ORIGINALS 24hr Chemists 3 Months Hanging 6 Feet Underground 9 To 5 Adam McGraph That Afternoon In Hackney Alcy The Angels And My Dead Wife The Ballad Of Overpopulation Barmaid Black Bin Bags Bless You Child Brain Damage Chip Killer Clumpers Come To Bradford Coming To Get Yer Coupon Man Crack 'n' Violence The Debt Collector Dogfather Drug And Sex Scandal Star Ey Ey Flotsam and Jetsam Fool Geezer Gerroff My Land Gob Go, Murray, Go!
