The Analogues - Introducing The Analogues Sideshow (2022) CD-Rip

The Analogues present their first own repertoire as The Analogues Sideshow. The Analogues is the group of Dutch musicians who have received critical acclaim at home and abroad in recent years for their spectacular live renditions of The Beatles' studio albums. Multi-instrumentalists/vocalists Bart van Poppel, Felix Maginn, Fred Gehring, Jac Bico and Diederik Nomden share a deep-rooted passion for the later work of The Beatles and in recent years have dedicated their musicality to the live recreation of the iconic Beatles albums from the late sixties.

Gehring: “When everything came to a standstill because of corona, we were in the middle of our 'Let It Be: ABBEY ROAD' tour. The last two albums by The Beatles and as such also for us the last two mega reproduction projects. Suddenly we had a lot of time available. And the blood creeps where it can't go. Everyone had songs or ideas and one thing led to another. In the end we decided to go for it: the unthinkable idea of the Beatles tribute band making its own record”.

“We have now unraveled and reproduced that entire series of iconic Beatles albums that were created between 1966 and 1969 but never played live. The necessary collection of vintage instruments and amplifiers is complete. So that part of the project is over,” says musical director Bart van Poppel, “although we will of course still be playing those albums live a lot – at home and abroad. So The Beatles emphatically remain our main focus. But making your own record has also been a lot of fun. So our new album is a sideshow, but that doesn't mean we don't take it seriously. On the contrary. Just like when we play music by The Beatles. It all stems from the same motivation: love for music”.

'Introducing The Analogues Sideshow' contains 13 original songs from The Analogues Sideshow.
