   About higgins
We're currently in the studio working on the follow-up to Dear Higgins.

You can buy Dear Higgins here For $10.99.

It's also available for digital download at emusic.com and at the itunes music store.

Nice words:

"We can't figure out why Higgins hasn't caught on yet. The band's debut, Dear Higgins, is full of the kind of lush, Beatlesesque, pop that almost everyone likes." Time Out New York

"Higgins is Brian and Kevin, two boys who use the influence of their “classic rock Dads” to wail on your ass up and down their new CD, Dear Higgins." The Deli

"60s pop played to absolute perfection. Everything that made that music so universally appealing in the first place." Punknews.org

" Like Ringo Starr, Brian Kantor's solid, and charismatic, drumming provides the perfect accompaniment for Kevin Fish's ringing circular guitar patterns to wrap around" Big Takeover

"What is obvious is how they have an ear for a hook judging by the gloriously ballsy, Come." Popmatters.com

"The album is full of multilayered melodies & harmonies with a laid-back, psychedelic, sunny vibe that recalls late Beatles and Beach Boys tunes." Staticmultimedia.com

Hey guys,
I've been a big fan of "Drop Off" since I heard it way back when. I've just uploaded a tune called "Couldn't Live" and it has some Beatle-tastic mellotron action, so please check it out!
Cheers!

They were, after all, suppose to be great story-tellers: that is one of the functions of a songwriter, isn't it? Did these things happen?

Thanks for the add!
This week on Pop Go the Beatles,
Tuesday 4/2 @ 9:00 PM E.S.T. on
www.myspace.com/realmuzicwebradio ,
you’ll get the inside story of the making of the move A Hard Days Night and the creation of the music from the British Soundtrack LP. You’ll hear from Dick Lester (director of the film), Walter Shenson (producer) and of course the boys themselves as they tell you how and why this movie was created. Ringo tells the story of how he came up with the name for the movie. Paul describes how John wrote the title song in one night and came in with the words written on a matchbook cover. We’ll take you out on the promotional trail with the boys and wrap it all up with a live BBC radio performance where the Beatles play all the new songs in the film for a studio audience.
Tune in this & every Tuesday night @ 9:00 E.S.T. on www.myspace.com/realmuzicwebradio
For more information about this and all 21 2-hour Pop Go the Beatles shows go to

I love your record. Our car broke down on the way from NY, and it was irreparable... We got a new car, and accidentally left your cd in the cd player...I am going to have to pick up a new one. You guys are great.
