Film Documentary “America’s Lost Band” Almost Ready
June 17th, 2008
The film about The Remains that’s been in production for two years is about to be released to Film Festivals. Produced by Fred Cantor and Directed by Michael Stich (Emmy Award winner), the documentary is titled “America’s Lost Band”. Most of you may know that The Remains disbanded just after The Beatles U.S.Tour in 1966, thus the title…”Lost Band”. The desired plan is to premiere the film at the Boston International Film Festival in September ‘08. Should this happen, we will perform somewhere in the Boston area to support the premiere, and possibly even at the theater itself, if possible. Boston would be the most appropriate city for the premiere, because The Remains’ band was born in Kenmore Square and was galvanized while playing concerts, colleges, clubs and fraternity parties throughout Boston and all six New England states during the mid Sixties. The film will also be submitted to other film festivals around the country and overseas. It’s very exciting and we hope to see many of you at a screening.
New Remains CD on Sony Legacy
September 6th, 2007
This reissue offers their original ten cut debut album now augmented with ten bonus tracks. Add to that glorious updated sound and some cool liner notes and it’s 1966 again. Led by Barry Tashian this band created quite a stir in their day up in the Northeast. Their brand of jangly American rock was right in step with the times.
This will replace the CD “Barry & The Remains” The CD new cover will be the original LP cover from 1966! Fans have been asking for this new album. We’re delighted that the SonyBmg label is making it available!
Release Date: 05/15/2007
