		The band was called the 'Shorter Brothers' Band' because it was fronted by Andy Shorter on stage.
		It was the comaraderie of the sidemen that kept this band together for 6 years, throughout the severe economic Depression of the 1930's.
		During the later years of the Depression, the band was unable to find work as a unit, and many of the sidemen were forced to freelance, with Sutton himself, often working for other leaders.

	DPRP : CONCERT REVIEW ARCHIVE
		The band used a large backdrop showing a big sun and a small earth in the background, not unlike the album cover, though against a fl background instead of a white one.
		As on the album and during the previous tour, the band consisted of five people; Yogi Lang on vocals (once again, in a rather mellow mood), Karlheinz Wallner of guitar, Phil Rissettio on drums, Andreas Wernthaler on keyboards and newcomer Stephan Ebner on bass.
		Yogi explained that the band could have a very angry side, trying to get the band members to show how angry they could be (without really succeeding; they wouldn't be able to scare a 4 year old kid if they wanted to).

	Solid! -- Rudy Vallee
		With his megaphone and nasal voice he will forever be remembered as the archetypal image of the early crooners.
		The band was an unusual one, consisting of two violins, two saxophones, and a piano.
		From the beginning the main purpose of the band, the Connecticut Yankees, had been to back Vallee's singing, but Vallee himself had a large ego, which often led to resentment from many of the musicians.

	Oi! For The Punx :: Oi! Oi!
		The band is one of my all time favorites and played great songs like "Death Comes fast" and a multitude of other songs off their "Our rebellion has just begun" CD/LP and some songs that got the crowd really cheering them on on one of their early demo E.P.'s.
		This band came on the set and immediatley a mosh pit started and in the front row were shouting along the chorus of songs like: "Just cant live", and "Rock and rot".
		The lead vocalist and all the members in the band were very excited to come to Cleveland and were pogoing while stuffing the mic in the face of a player from Chaotic Alliance.

		The megaphone became one of his trademarks, and was copied by other vocalists of the day inasmuch as microphones and amplifier systems were not yet well developed.
		He remained with the band for about one year during which time he made records and was heard on Radio broadcasts with the band.
		He and Vallee formed a band (I think it was called the Connecticut Yankees, but I'm not sure) and Bert got the band an engagement (Jan. 1928) at a small cafe called the Heigh-Ho Club (from whence came Rudy's radio broadcast introduction of "Heigh-Ho everybody, this is Rudy Vallee speaking").

	Megaphone Records Reviews
		That's why those bands are duo: Dramatics-Martha Colburn Can Openers-Bob Wagner Jaunties-Benb Gallagher X-Ray Eyes-Caroline K. Even band structure such as the Pleasant Livers and the Attitude Robots- all members play and exchange different instruments in a way that is complicated and noisy as hell.
		Megaphone Ltd.001 is Jaunties by the duo who shock-debuted their 3-record box set.
		Bands such as "King Crimson" and "This Heat" were developing esthetics that ran against conventional musical interests.

		The band was ready to start working on a full-length release, and dove head first into writing all new material.
		The band went to New York and tracked with Grammy-nominated producer Glen Robinson, and came back with a recording that they considered to be their best work to date.
		Now, evolved and determined, the band is working harder than ever to achieve the success they know is within reach.

	BBC Manchester - Music - The Rain Band at Life Café
		Not that the show was a complete failure by any means, but the lack of a warm-up act meant the arrival of the band on stage was a jarring experience, and the room took a while to get into to it.
		They may still be in the first tentative moments of their career as far as their sales are concerned, but their sound is of epic proportions, ready to fill venues the size of the Apollo.
		It won't be long before they graduate to venues more suited to their huge sound, but until they do, they need to realise a megaphone is not a microphone and it needs to be treated sparingly.

		Some of Megaphone's music found it's way onto renowned producer Mitja Tuurala's stereo and he offered on the spot to produce the band's next demo.
		All four members of Megaphone are natural dandies, and therefore they slipped into the band's Vogue-meets-wasted look effortlessly.
		The band has earned a reputation for sweaty and manicly exuberant live-shows, with plenty of dazzle for the eye and ear.

		And his megaphone, the same one he used for the cover of No Todo lo Que Es Pop Es Bueno ("Not Everything Pop Is Good"), the band's debut, is as important to the band as Michael Jackson's left glove was to him.
		That's what we are: a band of provocateurs, always messing with one another, competing to see who brings the best melody.
		The band is not sure whether to release a new album before the end of the year or in early '03.

		In 1992 a band I was with opened for the ARU, where I met Oteil and hung out with Sipe and Jimmy Herring.
		The band’s got Kofi Burbridge on keys and Marcus Williams (from the Fiji Mariners and Isaac Hayes) on drums.
		Well, I don’t think Megaphone Man is a mass appeal kind of a thing…I’m not fooling myself…but I think we’d go over well at any festival or venue where people were there to see a variety of stuff; places like the Knitting Factory or festivals like Montreal.

	Shanghai Streets :: Music - Megaphone and Reflector @ the Gua'er (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Megaphone was there to play punk, and it succeeded completely and without flair.
		Some of the audience was cringing when Reflector threw some ska rhythms into a few songs, but at the same time the rest of it was working into a frenzy in the pit.
		I heard some people saying that the band "was friends with Rancid." It would explain a lot.

		I am in no way related to the band or know any of the band members personally.
		You can tell they put God first when writing the songs and are so thankful for what God has done in their life it reflects in their music.
		Their music is similar to Creed, but it honestly cannot be compared to any band I have heard because they are so incredible.

	phorum - GENERAL - Apo with a drummer?
		He's not an official member of the band but he's played on albums and, as you know, tours with them everywhere, unlike Antsa who tours with them only when his cats and chickens run out of food.
		But i think that not being officially in the band is not that bad, since he always plays with them, and the fans love him eitherways...
		I think he's ruin the 'chi' of the band; Apocalyptica is an 'all-cello-band', and maybe the guys just wanted to keeep it that way...

	Gs Megaphone
		It is the band's desire to address issues youth face everyday through a medium that youth will listen-the medium of music.
		Through years of changing musical styles, members and band names the group eventually landed a label deal, moved out from under CMA, got some new guitar players (that's when I came on board) and a new name: GS Megaphone.
		I will say that most of the bands I dig are secular bands and I think that a mature Christian is very capable of appreciating secular music in a Godly fashion.

	Spinal Tap: The Official History
		Meanwhile, the band played extensively in the Benelux nations, particularly Amsterdam's Long-Hair Club, where they met sixteen-year-old keyboard prodigy Jan Van Der Kvelk, who did musical charts for the band and used his Dutch music-biz connections to get them work.
		The band quickly changed their name back to the Thamesmen but the single had peaked and vanished from sight.
		The band sued Megaphone for withholding royalties; the label threatened a precedent-setting countersuit charging "lack of talent." By way of settlement the band agreed to make no further records for Megaphone and, in the words of their solicitor, to "stay the fuck out of the studio."

	Cage - In Stereo
		Thanks to their combination of megaphone distorted vocals, angelic la-la-las and a herky jerky pulse, Cage most remind me of a 1987 band called Jackdaw With Crowbar, whose similarly funky avant rock was schizophrenically manic and bizzare.
		New drummer Matt Espy, along with singer-songwriter Gregg Spence joined in and the rest is documented here, spending just a Summer to come up with a very tight set of college-rock songs with plenty of strange twists thrown in to keep things fun and on the edge.
		Of the four songs, the one that drew me in the most was 'Worst Case Scenario' with it's obscured megaphone singing and sweet la la la chorus as counterpoint to the harsh instrumental work.

	'That Megaphone Looks Silly, Mr. Vallee'
		Pounding on drums is a lifetime of great fun, with mine beginning under the baton of a high-school band director with the unforgettable name of Miss Fraunfelter.
		With the whole of the Midwest to draw upon, that boot-camp band was superb, and it probably still is. As an added bonus, if I was scheduled for some kind of serious military duty--like guarding the clothesline (true)--I'd just say I had band practice.
		The band members' smiling eyes were on me, waiting for my next move...but I had none.

		The Elms, a four piece band from Columbus, Ohio, released their debut EP in February of 2000, with a full length album set to release in August of that year.
		Well, GS (God Sized) Megaphone's debut Out of My Mind is the debut album for both the band and the label, and it's definitley a great start.

	B
		Not to be confuse with the late-'60s English band (featuring Mickey Jupp), or the late-'70s Connecticut progressive outfit, other than they were based in Los Angeles, we don't know much about this quintet (apparently E. Brooks, B. Corso and S. Romans and two other nameless members - no credits on the limited liner notes)...
		It wasn't perfect; the band occasionally drifting too close to Mamas and Papas-styled MOR ("Gigi").
		Far more impressive were the band's stabs at a harder rock sound; the fuzz guitar and feedback propelled "Where Oh Where Is Mother" and their vox-powered cover of Dylan's "Baby Blue" (always liked the sitar fadeout).
