| DVD The Beach Boys 'An American Band'; Liberation Entertainment announced the 26th February 2007 UK DVD release of The Beach Boys 'An American Band'; a candid look at America's favourite clean-cut, candy-stripped and harmonic family; Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, cousin Mike Lowe and Al Jardine. The surf, the fun, the magic and the sorrow of the legendary Beach Boys all come together in this expansive film, featuring extensive footage from the Beach Boys own archives and over 40 original Beach Boys songs in full stereo. They were the synthesis of American rock 'n roll. America's native sons. The idols of teenagers across the U.S. But they were also human – often troubled, scared, and awed by their own celebrity. The Beach Boys and those they touched reflect on the band time together; from the innocence to the drugs, from the screaming fans to the empty concerts, from the inseparable young group to the loss of brother Dennis. What has been the driving force behind the Beach Boys? How did they grow and change to re-emerge years later to sell out crowds? For those who loved them then, and who love them now, this exposé gives depth to who the Beach Boys really are. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
