 The Wondermints - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The band's distinctive sound is a mixture of Elvis Costello -esque new wave and 60s lounge music, with a lyrical predilection for scientific or science-fiction topics (lyrics mentioning trilobites and DNA are not unusual).
All the Wondermints can be heard on Wilson's Live at the Roxy CD and Brian Wilson on Tour and Pet Sounds Live in London DVDs, with Sahanaja, Walusko, and Gregory also appearing on the Pet Sounds Live In London CD and the studio CDs Gettin' in over My Head and Smile.
The Wondermints, especially Gregory, often appear on other people's records or are in other bands, some of the more notable of which are Baby Lemonade, The Negro Problem, Stew and Kim Foxx.

 WonderHistory
They agree that Wondermints' music sounds terrific, but they don't know how to pigeon hole it, since the band's music sounds different from all the other music that is being put on the music-market in 1995.
The first Wondermints songs are recorded in four track in Darian's bedroom and put on a self-distributed cassette, the Blue one, because of the color of its cover.
Wondermints is present on the Hollies tribute album "Sing Hollies In Reverse".

 Wondermints: Mind If We Make Love to You - PopMatters Music Review
The Wondermints also did many covers in their live act (in fact, their second release as dictated by their Japanese label was a collection of all covers), including Beach Boys songs.
The Wondermints are back after four years of backing you-know-who; but this talented trio has learned well from the master, and we the public reap the happy reward.
That incredible debut (released a year later domestically by Big Deal) Wondermints featured the music of Walusko and Sahanaja and while not a big commercial success, it was lauded by many critics as one of the best CDs in many a year.

 The Wondermints
After devoting most of 1996 to outside material, the Wondermints are eager to record an all-originals album.
The record, cornily titled The Wonderful World of Wondermints (again, a label decision), features a bizarre selection of songs, ranging from obscurities by the Monkees, Abba and the Hudson Brothers to the theme from Barbarella.
Oddly, the second Wondermints album is already out in Japan, almost simultaneous with the Big Deal release.

 Wondermints
This fourth Wondermints album conjures up the spirit of early 70s Beach Boys albums Surf's Up and Holland, on which the rest of the group ably filled the creative gap while Brian Wilson stayed in bed.
And they have performed excerpts from Wilson's unfinished "teenage symphony to God," as well as Pet Sounds in its entirety and other songs from throughout the Beach Boys/Wilson discography--quite wonderfully, in fact.
If Wondermints "only" recreated Wilson's complex aural tapestries (layers of fairground keyboards and vibes, coated with subtle, rich webs of guitar) so perfectly and effortlessly, they'd qualify as one of the best bands of the past decade.

 nme.com - Wondermints - Bali - 6 October 2000
Wondermints form the nucleus of Brian Wilson 's 12-strong touring band.
Most of the album, however, you'd happily put in a sack and chuck in the canal.
Recalling, oddly and variously, Supergrass, Elvis Costello and Peter Skellern (in their Beach Boys / dream-pop periods, naturally), Wondermints do have the odd adorable, pop puppy.

 TrouserPress.com :: Wondermints
With rich, full sound that belies the fact that it was recorded on only four tracks, the twelve-song Wondermints was collected from cassettes the band had circulated; even though the LP is cobbled together, it still manages to flow nicely from beginning to end.
Wonderful World of Wondermints is an all-covers collection created at the behest of the band's Japanese label.
In the late '90s, Wondermints became Brian Wilson's touring band, performing spot-on reproductions of Beach Boys classics with him.

 Gifts-Vouchers.co.uk - Wondermints
The most annoying characteristic of the Wondermints is ably demonstrated by this album.
Recorded mostly on four-track, 'Wondermints' is an overt powerpop album with obvious influences - Jellyfish, Beach Boys, et al - that works very well as a purist exercise.
The band work marvels on what's essentially a demo, but, for all that, the album will mean more to hardcore powerpop fans than it will to people coming to the band looking for another 'Bali'.4

 Amazon.com: Music: Wondermints [IMPORT]
You may have heard that the Wondermints were Brian Wilson's backing band on his recent Pet Sounds tour.
I find this one to be the lesser album of the three, lacking the cohesion in the songlist found in Bali and the funky beats of Wonderful World Of.
But their own music is not an homage to the Beach Boys--they definitely have their own identity.

 Body
The Wondermints will make a very special and rare Los Angeles appearance at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood to celebrate the release of their fourth album Mind If We Make Love To You, in stores September 10, on Smile Records.
There is already talk of a 5.1 DTS remaster for the holiday season though even with out, the album will redefine what sonic purity and aural clarity mean to the listener.
The 12 new tracks will no doubt serve to broaden the worldwide fan base that the Wondermints have developed since the band formed in 1995.

 CD Times - Wondermints
The brilliantly titled album Mind If We Make Love To You is the fourth album from Wondermints, and yet many of you will be thinking it’s their first.
It’s clear that the Wondermints can absorb so many of their influences and still release a somewhat unique sound overall.
So, in the small amount of time the band had spare from touring the world as Wilson’s backing band, the Wondermints created Mind If We Make Love To You, a warm collection of sunshine pop that further raises their stock in the genre once owned universally by Wilson and his fellow Beach Boys.

 Tower Records - Bali - The Wondermints
The Wondermints' third full album, 2000's BALI, finds Darian Sahanaja and Nick Walusko expanding their musical universe in ways that move both forwards and backwards.
The fact that all of these disparate influences coalesce into a satisfying whole is testament to the Wondermints' remarkable musical skills.
The Wondermints: Nick Walusko (vocals, guitar); Darian Sahanaja (vocals, keyboards); Mike D'Amico (vocals, bass, drums).

 newtimesbpb.com Music Wondermints 2002-10-03
But not everything on this album reeks of 25-cents-a-gallon gas.
In fact, if it were a TV show, flashbacks of the old NBC peacock logo and au naturel Dallas Cheerleaders would appear throughout most of the 12 tracks on this collection of psychedelic-tinged pop songs.
The lush orchestrations sandwiched between piano rock on "Ride" give harmonies ample space to breathe, while the retro "pa-pa-pa-pa" sing-along in "Out of Mind" is a reminder of why the Wondermints got to score the title theme to the Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery soundtrack.

 Flak Magazine: Cover Tunes - "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," 1-29-01
The Wondermints, best known for writing and performing "Austin Powers" for the first movie's soundtrack, bring a lovely dreamlike quality to the song, but keep its cheesy lounge sensibility.
It's no wonder that Brian Wilson raves about The Wondermints, who often moonlight as his backing band.
Its members take a modern approach to producing old pop music and, furthermore, they understand the fine line between adulation and irony and know exactly how to straddle it, which makes this cover so excellent.

 The History of Rock Music. Wondermints: biography, discography, reviews, links
Wondermints (Toy's Factory, 1995), that collects the best of their three cassettes, easily beats most Brit-pop releases of that year.
Wonderful World of Wondermints (Toy's Factory, 1996), an album of covers, and the film theme Austin Powers (1997) contributed to turn the band into stars.
Tracy Hide, Proto-Pretty, She Opens Heaven's Door, Shine would be masterpieces on any pop album of the 1960s.

 Interview: The Wondermints (Darian Sahanaja) by Stephen Ridley
One suspects there were few bands of their ilk on the circuit.
“We find the less we play the more of an event it becomes,” says Darian, explaining how the Wondermints, unlike most bands, were primarily a studio band who eventually, in the mid 90s, began the live grind in LA dives and bars.
I don’t have to earn any musical talent.’”

 CD Reviews - Pop & Rock
Pop music fans in the know will tell you The Wondermints are simply one of the best pop groups ever.
Featuring the undeniable pop talents of guitarists / songwriters Darian Sahanaja and Nick Walusko and drummer Mike D’Amico, The Wondermints scale new pop heights on their self produced and arranged 2002 release for the L.A.-based Smile Records, oddly titled Mind If We Make Love To You.
That said, who could have predicted that they’d now release the best platter of their entire career?

 Lisa Mychols & Wondermints - Lost Winter`s Dream
Reissue of 1991 Christmas album with one bonus track.
`Lisa Mychols(she the lovely voice in The Masticators and member of The Waking Hours), along with those Wondermints guys, has created a quality Christmas oriented collection that`s on par with some of Brian Wilson`s & Phil Spector`s finest moments.
A must for fans of Wondermints and The Masticators.

 Review: The Wondermints Bali (Neosight) by Stephen Ridley
Big fan, Mike Myers, used them on the Austin Powers soundtrack — maybe a less cost prohibitive introduction, all three ‘Mints albums are available on import only — and, listening to Bali, I’m reminded of the Springfield psychiatric patient that Homer befriends who believes he is Michael Jackson.
Final and title song Bali and the eighty-six (that’s right) following ‘hidden’ tracks of Pacific surf noise (which include one primitive, crackly radio commercial for Marine Boy?!?) will be a humorous or uneasy slip into the Twilight Zone.
If the intention of the likes of Baby Lemonade, The Negro Problem and wacky scene-leaders The Wondermints is to take a retro romp through that pop paradise that was LA circa 1967, let it not blind us to their original talents.

The ancient keyboards that open "Out Of Mind" are an unexpected delight and help set up what becomes the most satisfying song on the album.
Wilson and more like they're aping other modern bands doing the Pet Sounds thing.
The Wondermint's obvious reverence for their influences can make for a marvelous tinker toy of sound, but they sometimes play things a little too close to the vest.

 Fufkin.com: Mike Bennett Reviews: Part II: October, 2002
On one hand, they tour regularly as the heart of Brian Wilson's back up band and many critics have acknowledged the terrific job they have done in that capacity.
Especially "Ride", now that I think of it (which happens to feature some Brian dude on backing vocals – good to see the Wondermints give opportunities to up-and-comers).
Well, one thing I like about the Wondermints since day one, is their ability to deploy their innate skill at all things Wilsonish without ever rewriting a Beach Boys song.
http://www.fufkin.com/columns/bennett/bennett_rev_10_02_2.htm

  
 [No title]
The original group effectively no longer exists as a recording or touring unit.
Brian Wilson tours under his own name with the Wondermints as supporting band, and Al Jardine tours with the Alan Jardine Family & Friends Beach Band, featuring his sons Matt and Adam, Brian's daughters Carnie and Wendy, and Carl's brother-in-law Billy Hinsche, among others.
As of 2003, the group touring under the Beach Boys name consisted of Mike Love and Bruce Johnston and supporting performers.

 Review: Wondermints, Wondermints - Bill Holmes
While post-sandbox Brian has to be taken with a grain of salt (he recently called "Grumpier Old Men" one of the three best movies ever made), one listen to the stunning "Tracy Hide" will confirm that this was said on a day when all the sand grains aligned properly.
Brian Wilson supposedly claimed that if he had the Wondermints back in 1967, he "would have taken
Yet it's not all retrospective - slip "Thought Back" onto Jason Falkner's recent release and no one would know the difference - and that's a compliment!
