In early 2001 the Vinyl Kings decided to try some thing new: To record a CD of their original songs that would draw upon one of their greatest influences, The Beatles. One could say that their CD "A Little Trip" is a concept record. But the band would say that it is more of a homage to not only the Beatles, but to a time in musical history that changed their lives forever." - http://www.last.fm/music/Vinyl+Kings "Unlike many similar bands, the Vinyl Kings are at least upfront about what they're trying to accomplish. This seven-piece band is unapologetically obsessed with the pop music of the era roughly between 1963 and 1971, and their second album is a hodgepodge of lifts from the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and all the rest. (There's also a strong resemblance to classic-era Electric Light Orchestra in spots, mostly because Jeff Lynne himself was so enamored of the same pop music era.) Thing is, because the Vinyl Kings don't pretend to be anything other than a bunch of middle-aged Beatles fans who don't care about any music released after 1981 -- the lyrics of several songs, most notably "'67 (Home)" and the title track, are about this very obsession -- then it's possible to enjoy Time Machine for what it is: catchy, tuneful pop music of very little substance. It's only when contemporary bands try to "update" or "re-imagine" this brand of '60s pop that the results get truly tiresome; Time Machine is so unashamed of its tribute-band intentions that the unpretentious charms of the songs come through more strongly." -AMG you can get the VK CD's here - http://cdbaby.com/cd/vinylkings & http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/vinylkings2 ... get 'em! http://www.myspace.com/vinylkings/ Josh Leo - guitars & vocals Larry Lee - percussion & vocals Vince Melamed - keyboards & vocals Larry Byrom - guitars & vocals Michael Rhodes - bass Harry Stinson - drums & vocals Jim Photoglo - guitars & vocals
