Girl groups were a constant presence on the Billboard pop charts in 1962 to 1965, but, by 1965 the popularity of this sound was waning as it was eclipsed by other musical trends. The songs recorded by the girl groups were naive and adolescent, but like the times, the lyrics started to show a yearning for a better way of life. http://www.spectropop.com/gg/hgirlgroups4.html   (867 words)      USATODAY.com - Allure gives Artest a tempting quality act Embattled Indiana Pacers star Ron Artest was promoting today's release of a CD by Allure, a female RandB group signed to his record label, but that has been overshadowed by the aftermath of his suspension from the NBA after an ugly brawl with the Detroit Pistons. Allure hopes its luck changes with third album Chapter III (2 ½ stars out of four), in stores today on Artest's Lightyear/WEA-distributed Truwarier Records. In Allure, he has a female RandB group that needed Artest-like tenacity just to stay in the business. http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/reviews/2004-11-22-artest-cd_x.htm   (462 words)      Everything but the Girl Group Info With over ten albums and a cult following, it's amazing how this group has only recently received acclaim for their #1 hit "Missing" and their gold album "Amplified Heart." The bands sound had changed throughout their career, beginning with a folksy-accoustic sound and somehow coming to the ambient, drum 'n' base sound they use today. The group is planning to release a new album in 1998 and go on tour. The group performed in front of probably their largest audience (250,000 people) in August as part of Italy's Festival Bar TV show in Naples. http://www.indigocat.com/ebtggroup.html   (679 words)      Fish Wrap: Matador, Beggars Group Forge Partnership - Epitonic.com: Hi Quality Free and Legal MP3 Music The U.K.-based Beggars Group announced today that they have purchased a 50% share in the venerable NYC indie label Matador Records and will market all future Matador releases through Beggars worldwide.

Gregorian chant is one of the many traditions of liturgical song that developed in the Christian church during the medieval period, and undoubtedly the most renowned (though few people really know it well) of the chant traditions that are still in use today. It was the invention of music notation that, for the first time, allowed the music itself to be written down in addition to the text. http://www.music.princeton.edu/chant_html/what.html   (388 words)      Encyclopedia: Spencer Davis Group Today, Pete York is playing with a number of jazz bands, Spencer Davis is based on the West Coast of America where he records the occasional album; and Muff Winwood is head of artist development at CBS Records, having been a successful record producer.

Wendle claims Radiohead, The Smiths, The Sundays and other Brit-pop groups as inspiration, which can be heard in the group's music.

Anyone familiar with 70's music knows of the band "Bread." But it's only in Sacramento that you'll get the real scoop on one of the group's members. "Bread" may be the staff of life, but if you were around in the 70's it was also the name of one of the hottest music groups around. http://www.kovr13.com/12dec01/120701a.htm   (417 words)      pro-music / music online Listen.com and Beggars Group today announced that the companies have signed an agreement that will enable music fans to stream and burn thousands of tracks from the Beggars Group catalogue through the critically acclaimed RHAPSODY digital music service.

The IFPI waited to take action because song swapping was a problem created in the USA, and has historically been more of an issue here, says IFPI general counsel Allen Dixon. In Denmark, the IFPI sent cease-and-desist letters to 100 song swappers and demanded compensation for prior online sharing. http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/technology/2004-03-30-fileswap_x.htm   (438 words)      SOHH.com Global Forum - Ron Artest/Allure album flops. Although he became more animated and even cracked a smile while waving a copy of Allure's CD during the segment, he barely remembered to mention the group's name. On Tuesday, the label released its first album by its first signing, RandB girl group Allure's Chapter III, which Artest produced. Despite Artest's ardent plugs for Allure's latest on shows like NBC's Today, all anyone wants to talk about is last Friday's "basketbrawl," which touched off when the ill-tempered Artest fouled Detroit Piston Ben Wallace and then went into the crowd after a fan chucked a cup at Artest. http://forums.sohh.com/showthread.php?t=522743   (847 words)      pro-music / music online EMusic.com, the Internet's most popular downloadable music subscription service, today announced it has signed a distribution agreement with The Beggars Group, which will provide subscribers access to hundreds of titles from nine high-profile UK labels.

The online place for info about the musical group Ohm. If today's rock music has reached a nadir of crass commercialism and downright banality, the existence of bands like Ohm is an absolute necessity. Indeed, 02 is music to watch cave paintings by: an imposing album that sounds like the creaking movements of lost civilizations, buried under the earth's crust, or the sound of a slow, quiet meltdown caused by a ruthless sun. The music was all improvised, keeping true to the band's idea that 'no two shows should be alike'. http://www.flash.net/~ohmmusic/observer.htm   (1545 words)      boybands Have you ever looked at the boy bands today and seen similarity in the kind of guys that exist among all of them. We can, also, look back at the original boy band group- The New Kids on the Block. Hence, the birth of the all mighty BOY BAND group. http://mason.gmu.edu/~kcharles/boybands.htm   (1545 words)      RATW: Jeff Beck Article Jeff Beck is one of a very few musicians today whose name can conjure up images of a variety of groups with a variety of sounds, a testament to both his versatility as well as his reluctance to settle down with a band. Whenever he formed a band, the first recorded album from that band would define that particular band's `sound.' The only way that Jeff found to solve this problem was to do only one album with a given group of musicians, then change everyone around. Jan Hammer's group had just released their own album, but were having some difficulty getting gigs. http://www.ratw.com/issues/6/jeffbeck.htm   (2315 words)      Brian Wilson :: Official Web Site Rising to the occasion, the very next (and one of the best) Beach Boys albums, The Beach Boys Today (their first LP release of '65) also reflected the fact that the 45 RPM format had already begun to lose its appeal to Brian. Clearly, this was not an album constructed for the typical Beach Boys fan of 1966, an area of some tension both within the group and especially between Brian and Capitol Records. That September, going into the studio for a "live" jam session, the group recorded Beach Boys Party!, their 11th album in four years and a "throwaway" record which yielded the #2 smash "Barbara Ann," ironically a more successful single than anything from Pet Sounds. http://www.brianwilson.com/media/words/petsounds.html   (2315 words)      ClassicalPlus - Jazz Artist - Guy Barker The Guy Barker Quintet has been established with its current personnel since 1996, and it continues to be the main performing vehicle for the talents of its leader, now acknowledged throughout the Jazz world as one of the leading brass players of today. Guy's second Verve album 'Timeswing' was released in the UK in 1996 to widespread critical acclaim. Nominated for the 1995 Mercury Music Prize, the album competed with over 130 other albums across the whole music spectrum to be one of the 10 nominees, a reflection of the popularity and respect Guy and his work have acheived in the UK. http://www.gmn.com/artists/artist.asp?bio=true&id=2022   (2315 words)      The Classical Music Beat Classical music's canon contains works from hundreds of years of composition, and from this some of the most revolutionary, representative, and superior works of this extensive, well-preserved selection can be enjoyed today with confidence that they sound very similar to performances in the composer's time. Classical music forms include the symphony, opera, concerto and chamber music. Classic CD magazine can be found at many book stores which includes a sampler CD every month with record reviews and articles in the magazine along with a description of each piece on the enclosed CD. http://music.searchbeat.com/classic.htm   (2315 words)      Netimperative - Beggars boosts Emusic's record box Nielsen//NetRatings today revealed that Emusic, which is part of the Music and Media Group of the US arm of Vivendi Universal, claimed 165,000 UK users during the quarter ending in March 2003. Online music subscription service EMusic has inked a distribution deal with UK-based Beggars Group to expand the range of music offered on its website.

Well, round one is over for the Spencer Davis Group, and the near-unanimous opinion is that it's a solid, rock and roll band. Whenever a big group splits up for a few years and then reforms, it seems that everyone is ready to lambast the new group for not recapturing the old sound. http://www.alexgitlin.com/sdg.html   (2046 words)      The Home of Ubu Projex This from the Cooking Vinyl press office: "MOJO magazine is celebrating the redefining and retooling of the punk ethic both in 1977 and today by compiling a unique CD focusing on the off-kilter collision of punk, funk and industrial malevolence. Pere Ubu's hugely influential first album, THE MODERN DANCE, is scheduled for release as a surround-sound remix on Silverline Records (licensed by Cooking Vinyl) on October 3. Cooking Vinyl USA celebrates the Pere Ubu's 30th year anniversary with the release of The Director's Cut versions of their highly praised and seminal albums of the 90s, Raygun Suitcase and Pennsylvania on Sep 6. http://ubuprojex.net   (1866 words)      Jeff Beck MP3 Downloads - Jeff Beck Music Downloads - Jeff Beck Music Videos When it was originally released in June 1969, Beck-Ola, the Jeff Beck Group's second album, featured a famous sleeve note on its back cover: "Today, with all the hard competition in the music business, it's almost impossible to come up with anything totally original. Beck canceled out of a scheduled appearance at Woodstock; he was in a car accident that sidelined him for over a year; and Stewart and bass player Ron Wood decamped to join Faces, breaking up the group. But that doesn't detract from the album's overall quality, due both to the guitar work and the distinctive vocals of Rod Stewart, and Beck-Ola easily could have been the album to establish the Jeff Beck Group as the equal of the other heavy bands of the day. http://www.mp3.com/albums/1300/summary.html   (519 words)      Audiogalaxy: Todays Best Hits This group was formally known as Todays Best Hits 2001 but was destroyed when AG had a computer shut-down around the new year and I know I haven't got all my members back cuz this group had over 100 members.
