THE WHO BOYS RECORD TITLE THEME FOR BBC3 TV SERIES:


"CONNING THE CONMEN"


The Who Boys have written and recorded the title theme for a new BBC3 TV series called "Conning the Conmen". The series aired in March and April of this year. Click the image above to go to the show's website for more information. A brief description of the show:

"Have you ever wanted to take revenge on a dodgy tradesman who's ripped you off? Or get the last word with high-pressure salesmen you can't get rid of? In this brand new series, a maverick team of undercover reporters turns the table on Britain's rogues and conmen.


BBC Three has launched a new generation of undercover investigations – the secret love child of Jackass, Trigger Happy and MacIntyre. Conning the Conmen combines daring undercover stings with wicked comedy.

It's a world where no conman is safe – from low lifes to hi-tech scammers, any one of them could be tricked by a sharp sting or outrageous stunt."

The Who Boys' track London Crying has been reviewed on MTV Brasil's website.  Many thanks for the review!  Highlights below.

Portuguese Site

English Translation (sort of)

A obra do Beatles foi mais uma vez explorada em uma mash up. A idéia surgiu com o trio londrino The Who Boys composto por Mark Rathmell, Giles Hearn e Brian Coleman, todos vidrados em The Who e Beach Boys. A paixão por esses dois marcos do rock permeia todo trabalho do grupo. Eles mixaram o instrumental de "London Calling" do The Clash e com os vocais de "Cry Baby Cry" dos Beatles, resultando em London Crying.

As "mashups", ou seja, músicas diferentes reunidas em uma mesma música estão surgindo por todos os lados, dando bons resultados. Um dos precursores que ajudaram a divulgar esta forma inesgotável de criação musical foi Brian Joseph Burton, mais conhecido como Danger Mouse. Ele participou de sucessos como Gorillaz, Gnarls Barkley e do The Grey Album. Esse último foi à junção do disco The Beatles (White Album) com o Black Album do rapper Jay-Z. Em 2004, ele disponibilizou o disco inteiro na internet causando muita polêmica.

Outro artista que já se aventurou pelo mundo dos mash-ups foi o rapper Eminem. Em 1999, no álbum The Slim Shady, a faixa "My Name Is" combinou algumas músicas na capela como "Back In Black" do AC/DC e "Ice Ice Baby" do Vannila Ice. Já aqui no Brasil, Rodrigo Gorky, DJ, produtor e um dos fundadores do grupo curitibano Bonde do Rolê inova em suas incursões musicais. O cara já chegou a pegar o vocal da Kelly Key e mixar com rock pesado.

Acesse o site Get Your Booleg On, e veja quais são as próximas novidades que podem despontar pela web.

"The British act behind 2004's album-length Who/Beach Boys mash-up can lay claim to being one of the form's exceedingly rare auteurs. What they've accomplished here is neither novelty nor mere technical trickery. It's more like composition."

The Who Boys- their mashed-up generation

Part of the fun of MySpace is that you don't get to just meet kewl people but you can also find out about hep bands, even ones that haven't been hyped up elsewhere. That's part of the power of the Net, isn't it?

After setting up a MySpace page for my zine (go there and sign up now kiddies!), I started getting requests for "friends" (people to trade links, photos and such). And it was coming from not just regular fans and readers but also bands.

One of them was a London mash-up trio called the Who Boys. As an old-school classic rock fan, I was overly familiar with their name-sakes but I didn't know about this new crew. I'm also a fan of mash-up's but only to the extent that they're fun, well-done or kinda intelligent or even better yet, some combo of the above- so far, I'm not convinced that Girl Talk makes the cut as such.

But the Who Boys do. They're classic rock fans too. Obsessed not just with the former High Numbers who can't stop doing rock operas but also Brian Wilson, another brooding genius from the 60's with expansive aspirations. Like any good DJ, they like a good beat (specifically jungle) and they use repeated sample not just for drama (think early Steve Reich) but also humor (think Negativland). Something tells me that Townshend would dig them and not just on a dry intellectual level. They have fun, fun, fun and they sell their music and videos for a mere pound note at their UK gigs.
