HELP! Pages

Q. Do you speak with British accents on stage?

A. Quite often. Not everybody can tell they are phonies. Some of us do better than others at this. Michael is rather good at it. Chris is worst... we don't believe he's ever uttered a peep to the audience.

Q. Do you do the wigs and suits thing in your show?

A. Well, yes... we feel that the vintage clothing and moptop haircuts enhance the visual aspect of the show and add to the overall experience. We usually do the first half of the show in clean cut suits and then change before your very eyes (well, actually in a dressing room whenever possible) to a psychedelic look for the second half. The music in each part of the show matches the look. Haven't you looked at this?

Q. DO you do the wigs and suits thing in your show?

A. Well, not currently. The music's the main thing, the wigs are too hot. We play better when we're running cool to the touch. Have you not seen this?

Q. Do you perform any songs other than Beatles songs?

A. No.

Q. Do you perform any McCartney, Lennon, Harrison, or Starr songs which were recorded after the Beatles broke up?

A. No. Well, some people argue that "Free As A Bird" is not a Beatles song, and we do perform that one. But we think of it as a Beatles song. Other than that one, we play only material played and/or written by the fab four prior to the breakup of the Beatles. So far.

Q. Do you performa any McCartney, Lennon, Harrison, or Starr songs which were recorded after the Beatles broke up?

A. Why yes, we most certainly do! Current favorites include My Love, Instant Karma, Maybe I’m Amazed, and Imagine.

Q. Why would anyone need a cure for Beatlemania?

A. Some years ago, we got the idea into our heads that it would be good to have something to call ourselves beyond HELP!, because HELP! is kinda short. The band's name is and always has been just HELP!, mind you, but we thought up "The Cure for Beatlemania" as sort of a sub-billing. The other serious possibility was "Sgt. Peppers Other Band." A furious internal debate raged within HELP! as to whether or not we should drop "The Cure for Beatlemania" from our billing until we finally decided to substitute the brilliantly-conceived phrase "Beatles for Sale."

Q. Do you guys have stupid, made-up names for each other which are a mixture of the band member's real name and the name of the Beatle he plays in the band? You know... like Maul, Chrohn, Mango, Kingo, Chringo, Meorge, Pohn, or Waul?

A. No. The name Pohn never stuck and Waul hasn't caught on yet.
