The Animals: A Foundation Stone Of The British Invasion

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/10/02

The city of Newcastle Upon Tyne has through the last sixty years presented its musical face to the world. Among the groups to draw early attention to the place was The Animals. Raw, and full of powerful, dark energy, this band re-invented so many songs for young ears. From "The House Of The Rising Sun" through their initial run, they were among those young musicians fueling this thing called The British Invasion! In this episode, the Imbalanced Boys discuss those early days, the changes the band

5 Favorites: One-Hit Wonders Of The 1970s

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/09/25

The era leading to the '70s music explosion, set the stage for what came next! Top 40 singles by artists you barely knew, exploding out of your radio, and getting wedged in your brain! Catchy, quirky, sometimes downright annoying, these songs were huge for the artists and producers who recorded them! Also, they were pretty large for the kids consuming all of those records, by artists never to be heard from again. The Imbalanced Boys have a number of those records, mainly 45s, in their

The Devolution Of Devo

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/09/11

Not one, but two sets of brothers formed a band in Ohio! That should have been the world's first warning that the plot to de-evolve EVERYTHING was hatching right there in Akron. In the pocket with Punk, era-wise, but markedly different from, well...everybody else, their mission required shunning norms! That was likely the case long before they donned their classic Devo yellow jumpsuits and plastic energy domes! Strange, sure! Quirky? They innovated a few of their own! Recently, finally announcing

"The Magic Of It All" With David Cousins Of The Strawbs!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/09/04

Connecting with David Cousins of The Strawbs for this episode was a different experience for both of the Imbalanced Brothers. Ray was a fan of the band from the 1970s, when Markus was still a younger kid! So they each approached this interview, and the new album, differently. The result is a very exciting take on a classic band making their way back up the UK charts with The Magic Of It All, how they got there, as well as how South Africa now, and then, became central to the project.

All The Leaves Are Brown: The Mamas & The Papas!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/08/28

There's no doubt about it, the story told by author Scott Shea in his book, All The Leaves Are Brown: How The Mamas And The Papas Came Together And Broke Apart is a wild, drug and sex-soaked tale that generated a ton of questions from the Imbalanced Boys. Scott joins Markus and Ray this week to talk about the band, the characters in their tale, the Folk scene that led to the band, the story of Monterey, and about the book itself, of course!

Bob Dylan burst onto the American Folk scene shortly after he arrived in New York City. Quickly, he made major impressions inside the local music community via Greenwich Village, and as a popular artist upon releasing his first few records on Columbia. He and The Beatles immediately hit it off with mutual admiration and inspiration. Dylan's expanded musical pallet was part of the early sessions for what became, Highway 61 Revisited!

Marvin Gaye: Musical & Cultural Icon - REDUX

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/07/31

This re-release of Marvin Gaye: Musical & Cultural Icon looks at the chaotic, turbulent and troubled life of sweet Marvin Gaye. One of the most beautiful voices to sing any form of Rock & Roll. His was the voice of a generation of Americans. Marvin was passionate, conflicted and believed we could conquer hate with love, although his life choices didn't always reflect that strong belief within him. We discuss the hard truths of his life, and his struggle with mental illness. Musically, solo success
