HEAR THE WHO BOYS AND MORE ON
THE FRUNT ROOM PODCAST!!

Come and join us in the Frunt Room, where you can share in the lives and loves of those who dwell within. The residents are just good friends they say, but live their shambolic lives together, never knowing what will be sent to test them next. All the music is new and exclusive to each episode and the result is a strange kind of radio soap opera, with a curiously relevant soundtrack. _______________________________________________________

THE THIRD MASHUP ALBUM BY

Click on the album cover above to go to the MP3 download page!

What happened in 2007? Boris Yeltsin died, Prince Harry was kidnapped and executed during military service in Iraq, and The Who Boys released their third Mashup album, ‘The Good, The Bad and The Who Boys’.

In 2004 they brought you the legendary ‘Tales of Townsend and Wilson’. Then, in 2005 they brought you the ground-breaking ‘For Mash Get Smashed’. And now, in 2007 AD, they bring you

‘The Good, The Bad and The Who Boys’.

And Good Lord, this is all without mentioning their original albums!

What’s it all about, Alfie?

Alfie: “There is no point in describing this. All you can do is turn the lights off, put your headphones on, pour a glass of the finest wine, press PLAY, lean back, close your eyes and listen. Then you will know. The Who Boys are not a band, they are a state of mind. If you don’t get it now, you never will. As Syd Barrett said to Madonna: 'You’ll never know, baby, you’ll never know.'”

This 24 track album represents arguably their finest Mashup work to date. Welcome to the world of The Good, The Bad and The Who Boys…

THE WHO BOYS' PODCAST!

SHOW 39! - THE OLD JACK MATHERS SHOW!

DOWNLOAD here ("right-click and "save as")

Show 39 – Saturday Night with The Who Boys – The Old Jack Mathers Show.

On this show we play our only ‘concept’ album, ‘The Life & Disaster of Old Jack Mathers’, in its entirety. We feel this is arguably our best lyrical and musical achievement as a whole album. It’s dark – my God it’s dark – but it’s based on a character we used to see in our local pub when we lived around Holloway Road, London – a very sinister man. This is his life story, in the form of music.

It doesn’t really matter what we say in between the tracks on this show, as the show is really all about the album, so the programme just lists the tracks of the album in order.

Turn the lights off, pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy.

1. Young Jack Mathers
2. Old Jack Mathers
3. "He was one of these self-deluded tossers"
4. Mathers in the betting shop
5. Place that Bet
6. "He was somebody who looked like he wanted to kick yer head in"
7. Mathers’ Wife
8 ."I’ll tell you about old Jack Mathers"
9. He Went Down
10. "This became my local when I got out of prison"
11. Mathers’ Memories
12. "He was a malign influence on the pub"
13. Inside the Mind of Mathers
14. "There’s one in every pub"
15. Lonely Hatred, Putrid, Wasted
16. "Some say the guy had a criminal record"
17. Mathers Waits
18. "I remember the smell"
19. "I warned him"
20. Mathers in the Hospital
21. "So what happened to him then?"
22. No one miss you when you die
23. The Legacy of Old Jack Mathers

TALES OF TOWNSHEND & WILSON (2004)

THE WHO MEET THE BEACH BOYS in a mash-up extravaganza, copulate and give birth to The Who Boys, the enfants-terribles of mash-up.

The Who and The Beach Boys sliced up and cooked on a griddle of drum n bass, dub and hard electronic rhythm. A cultural and musical hybrid, a quantum leap across four decades, as the analogue sounds of The Who and The Beach Boys come back across time and space, enter a computer hard drive, are processed into new tracks, new songs, new phrases, and are thrown back out into virtual space...

The Who Boys, Dubby Dick Turpins of the internet highway, robbing samples from the rich and complacent major labels, and giving the proceeds back to the poor and hip, needy and worthy. The Who Boys, online, on time, in time, and through time for all time, give you the story of Pete Townsend and Brian Wilson as you never heard it before... The Who meet The Beach Boys, and give birth to a groove monster, The Who Boys, modern, beyond mash-up, pure deranged genius...

The Who Boys, The Who Boys, The Who Boys...

FOR MASH GET SMASHED (2006)

THE WHO BOYS RETURN! As 2004s classic Tales of Townshend and Wilson continues to reverberate, echo and slowly fade across the net, back they come with the stunning new collection, FOR MASH GET SMASHED.

The Who Boys, back with unlimited mash-up, delving into sounds from across the 20th century. Crack open a can of Special Brew, tell your mother to SHUT UP or she can GO AND STAND IN THE GARDEN, crank up the stereo and GET NODDING. A horrifically groovy new collection of the finest mash-up tracks, FOR MASH GET SMASHED brings you the sounds of Led Zep meeting Canned Heat in a Garage, Nick Drake meeting Pink Floyd over hardcore drum n bass, and - oh, its too complex to explain!

_______________________________________________________

In 2005 a project was started featuring guest collaborators, artists, poets and performers we had met at The Foundry, a bar and gallery in East London, where The Who Boys had performed regularly for a long time. The change in the UK licensing laws in 2005 meant that the Who Boys and these other performers would no longer be able to perform live there anymore, as the venue was not allowed to have anything that constituted a live performance without first applying for an entertainment license. It was the end of an era.

The project was originally to be called 'Lost and Foundry', to commemorate this loss and capture the spirit of the characters and performers on this album, but then Rathmell, who is bloody-minded, fell out with one of the owners. Also we worried that no one would know what The Foundry is outside of East London anyway, so as a title it would make no sense to anybody else in the world. Instead we decided to call it the Quite Album. Why? Because it's quite long, there are quite a lot of quite short tracks, there are quite a lot of participants and it's quite a departure for us in terms of style and approach. It's also quite bloody good, cunt.

Inspired by The Commercial Album by The Residents, we wanted to make a collection of very short tracks where we reduced songwriting to its basic elements, working fast and often improvising. After years of spending ages on tracks, agonising over every detail, we wanted to bring more spontaneous creativity back into it and maybe learn something about songwriting in the process, or indeed what a song can be. And have some bloody FUN, instead of being precious and thinking too much.

So welcome to The Quite Album - a dark, experimental journey through our culture. Quite.
