Bio
Yes! It is true Michael Guthrie Band fans, the day is here...Right Honourable Friend and Live at The Cavern have been released through cdbaby.com! More releases coming very soon so keep checking back. Click the buttons below and support the band that has been rocking for you for decades and buy those albums!! Spread the word and tell all your friends to buy as well! Thanks! Update...Arnold Bean / Cosmic Bean has been released by cdbaby.com. Also available on itunes and amazon. .......... .......... .......... The Bio---- the last of a dying breed rock band formed in europe in the 60s-and still alive to tell the story--the MGB has toured all over the world ,spearheaded underground guitar rock to a legion of fans worldwide ,and with albums including "direct hits","banned in america","right honourable friend",and "live at the cavern",the band has been described by rolling stone as one of the top 10 powerpop bands of all time. with the addition of heir apparent jon on bass,the MGB has quickly gained the reputation of an explosive live act--and though both guthrie generations were born in the southern usa,both learned their rock trade with many years of playing festivals and pubs throughout europe--so much that in the usa,MGB is thought by many to be an english band--just one more case of carrying coals to newcastle--with the music that came originally from america. in 2008,what you carry away from an MGB show is not history,nor rock pedigree,but an energy and attitude born of the love of music,not losing the edge of what got them started,but also a determination to break new ground--a fact born out from reaction from young crowds. the long awaited upcoming release of direct hits/banned in america paves the way for new MGB songs for this generation and into tomorrow. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. -

...."at the time we started,we were inspired by the excitement of the beatles,the power of the who,and the songwriting of the kinks..so in our minds we'll never be half that good..but half that good is GOOD..we did it long enough that we became that... we just wanted to be in a group,never thinking where it might take us--and look where it has--the guitar gave me a job,found my wife, raised my kids..the least i can do is play it best i can for anyone who listens... when trying to press those first notes to "green onions" on my $25 guitar in 64,someone had said,"someday you'll stand on the planks at the cavern,or where jimi stood at the marquee,or the many rock festivals,and 40 years later you'll play the world, singing songs you wrote",i'd say you're dreaming,but bring it on..." rock and roll still dreaming MGB 2007

Take care
It was an honor and a lot of fun playing at Jon's memorial show. You did a fantastic job putting it together and we thank you for that; as well as commemorating a beautiful person the only way he would've had it; with music. Let us know if you need us for anything. Have Happy Holidays, and we'll be thinking about you. Drew
