thirdly, if you're looking for another brilliant P!O!P! "band to have ever ever come out of Boston" you should check out The Remains who formed at Boston University in early 1963.
Isn't that "Barry and the" Remains? Anyhow, while you're at it, you ought to search through the dollar LP bins and see if you can't find anything by the Cyrkle (aren't they from Boston proper?). Or, if you don't really care about the "from Boston" bit, try for something by the Left Banke. To tie that in with B&S, they were one of the bands that Belle & Sebastian covered at that festival. You may know them from their "big hit" "Walk Away Renee." The Cyrkle, likewise, may be heard on oldies radio today sometimes, but Barry and the Remains are a little more obscure. Also, don't bother searching out anything by the above bands if you don't like the Beatles, as all three seem pretty influenced by them. They all put interesting twists, though, like the Left Banke, who are a mix of the Beatles & classical baroque, if I'm not mistaken. /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - mick@indiepop.com - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - sandcastlerecords@indiepop.com | | Sandcastle Homepage - http://indiepop.com/sandcastle/ | | | | "Everyone has their own cup of tea. | | Some just happen to like a lot of sugar in it!" | | - Me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
