After a short week, here’s a treat I’ve been cooking up for you…
Billy Hinsche. Talk about living rock and roll history, Billy Hinsche was a member of the Beach Boys touring band during the “Holland” era and has been connected with the group for many years. Prior to that he was a member of the 60’s pop group Dino, Desi and Billy. We talk about his new documentary “1974″ about life on the road with The Beach Boys complete with his own candid footage of the group on tour. We also get into the Dino, Desi and Billy and his work with Brian Wilson (pictured here with Billy). Read my interview with Billy Hinsche here.
Paul Collins. Collins was a founding member of The Nerves in the 70’s and leader of The Beat. The Beat, a high energy rock group in the style of The Ramones, Blondie and The Dictators had a big hit with “Rock N Roll Girl” from their legendary debut. The Beat played with many bands, including The Jam, Pere Ubu, The Police, Eddie Money, The Plimsouls and Huey Lewis. The Beat became Paul Collins’ Beat when a ska band from UK began using The Beat as their moniker. Read my interview with “Beat Commander” Collins here.
