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 Townshend 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.
