The Byrds Collective Release the first three songs from the upcoming CD End Of The Road!

 The First Three Tracks

11/18/2011 - While were are mixing the tracks to our new CD (yet, still untitled), we decided to go back through the first CD (Collecitve Hits) and see if we couldn't improve on the sound.  We'll thanks to some pretty great software, we've remastered our songs.  I think you'll agree, that you'll hear more of the jangle of the rickenbacker 12 string, and more presence on the vocals. I think you'll hear more of the instrumentation that were recorded on these tracks.  

We've uploaded them to the player below. Please enjoy the remastered songs, and let us know what you think.  

Also, we plan on releasing our yet untitiled CD by the end of the year. Until then, thank you for all the support.

Here's A Nice Treat!

A Message From The Byrds Collective 9/3/2011 

Thank you everyone for coming out and letting us entertain you! The crowd was large, it was loud and it was 100% behind The Byrds Collective.  This has to go down as one of our best performances.  What makes this more exciting for us is that Ken came in and with only two days preperation, and nailed his Gene Clark persona. (Ken, has been away from The Byrds Collective for almost a year).  And most of all we want to thank all of you for the energy!  Here's a link to their schedule.

We also want to thank the Surfin' Safari's for asking us to perfom on the same bill.  They, as usual, put on a fantastic show. If you get a chance, please treat yourself and go see them.

A lot of postive things came out of this show.  We are now in discussions to perform in Reno and Lauglin, Nevada.  So it looks like there is a lot of interest in taking The Byrds Collective show on the road.

We will be going into the studio in two weeks to record some new songs; Byrds, originals and some songs we will Byrdify. 

We hope to see everyone real soon and thank you for all the encouragement!

THE BYRDS COLLECTIVE, a five-man band of veteran Los Angeles-area musicians and singers, share a collective passion for the music of The Byrds, the first and greatest folk-rock group of the 1960s and the originator of the "L.A. Sound" that dominated popular music for decades.

Review of our show at Brixton 9/2/2011

The Byrds Collective performance on Friday evening at the Brixton in Redondo was a big hit.  You guys sounded great and everyone in the band seemed in a festive mood with Ken back there singing and playing with you !  The couple of Beatles songs were a treat for everyone too !

 

It’s always a pleasure to see you guys playing because BC really have the essence of a cohesive band, playing with true dedication.  Your “collective” love of the Byrds music transcends each performance  – which may not be the case with so many other “Tribute Bands”.  

  

The complex vocals of the Byrds music comes through with BC’s great renditions and your music skills are top notch.   Besides all that stuff, you guys are just some of the nicest guys, friendly and sharing with everybody in the audience. And some of us share a mutual enjoyment of Rickenbackers!

 
Keep on rockin ! - Rich Ferguson

Reviews!

6/18/2011 .... a lot of people missed a great show. We have been to the Neil Young and U2 concerts and so far the Byrds concert was our favorite. Their sound was spot on. They even ventured in to Beatle songs as well as Tom Petty and the Band. We really hope they are back next year.

5/30/2011 -  That was great show today Chuck! Expert musicianship and fine harmony! AND... You sounded just like the Byrds. Even that Chimey guitar sound they had. The show evoked a lot of emotions from the past and the sound was so exacting, the Corral Stage was like a kind of time machine for that hour and a quarter you guys owned the stage. You even brought me to tears with "He Was a Friend of Mine." I'll put up some pics tomorrow when I've had some sleep. Really awesome!
