Seattle Musicians Keeping Beatles' Sprit Alive
May 11, 2005

The Nowhere Men have been slavishly recreating the sound of the Beatles for enthusiastic Northwest audiences.

SEATTLE - It was 45 years ago this week a group of Liverpool musicians called the "Quarry Men" first adopted the name "Beatles."

And after all these years, a group of Seattle musicians is keeping the Beatle spirit alive.

Since the early 90's, the Nowhere Men have been slavishly recreating the sound of the Beatles for enthusiastic Northwest audiences.

Mind you, that's the sound they recreate. Founding member George Meyers says he and the rest of the band are in their 40s and 50s. They don't try to physically impersonate the Beatles.

"We obviously could never pull that off," says Meyers. "So we don't even try. We just go out and try to make the music sound as much like the Beatles as possible."

Do they succeed? Judge for yourself. Just go to their Web site at www.nowheremen.com and click on audio clips.

In the beginning, the group played all kinds of music, from Jim Croce to Crosby Stills and Nash.

"But the Beatles was the music we kept coming back to," Meyers says. "The selection was so great, we decided, you know, let's just narrow in and do this really well."

When they play live, the reactions they get, from 5 year olds to senior citizens, tell them they made the right decision.

"They're having a great time; they're loving it," Meyers says. "And that's the coolest thing."

The Nowhere Men can pick and choose their gigs these days. Look for them during the busy outdoor festival season this summer.

THESE girls weren't born in time for Beatlemania but they're enjoying it now - with a twist and shout.

Known as the Lady Beatles, they perform all the Fab Four's favourites - except famous harmonies have been replaced with all-girl vocals.

The group will be part of HELP! I need a BEATLES Weekend at the Cavern Club, city, from June 11 to June 14.

Tara Carragher has assumed the character of John Lennon. Kylie Porter plays Paul McCartney. Sally Hansen is George Harrison and Robyn Glasson is Ringo Starr. "There were no fights over who was going to be which Beatle," Kylie says. "It all fell into place."

The group has played in clubs and at private shows since forming last year. They take listeners on a journey from such early Beatles' numbers as She Loves You to Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. "Everyone loves it," Kylie says. "We try and do the songs as they are but obviously being girls we have to change the key of some." Other twists include Kylie adding violin and Tara working the flute in Yesterday .

The weekend includes international bands, displays of movies and memorabilia. A full program is at www.beatlesfestival.com.au

"Китайские Битлз" готовы завоевать мир

Пекин, Китай (IPP) – Со времен маоизма Китай добился значительных достижений как в экономической, так и социальной областях. И теперь Китай готов также удивить мир своим собственным музыкальным ансамблем The Chinese Beatles, выступившем в китайской телепрограмме аналогичной американскому "Шоу Эдда Салливана".

Участников "Китайских Битлз" зовут Пор Маккалтни, Линго Старр, Джордж Халлисон и Джон Реннон.

Новая группа развлекала телеаудиторию в почти миллиард человек такими песнями, как "Dizzy Miss Rizzy", "Rove Me Do", "Don't Ret Me Down", "Ret It Be", "Eranor Ligby", "Rady Madonna", "Rovery Lita", "Rucy In The Sky With Diamonds", "A Day In The Rife", "Act Natularry", "All You Need Is Rove" и многими другими.

А вот и их дебютный альбом. Вышел на известном китайском лейбле "Фалропон"

Ой, как похожи-то.

Все б вам всем смеяться...
