Biography: (from the Beatleweek 2004 Programme)
It's always nice to say 'you're welcome' to a new band. As Shalil Shankar said from the Chavasse Park stage last year, Liverpool really is the equivalent of Mecca for musicians. For many Beatles tribute bands, it must seem like they have been waiting for the day until they come to Liverpool for what seems like forever. Well, for one lucky group of competition winners from Mexico (that's just to the south of California, girls), this is the year their dreams come true.
The Beatboys won the Battle of the Bands at the 9th annual Beatles Festival organised by Ricardo Calderon.
The Beatboys were founded by Christian Miranda, 25 years old (bass), Eber Lopez, 26 years old (keyboards and vocals) and Jonathan Miranda, 28 years old (drums), staging their first performance on December 8th, 1998.
In February 2001 Mauricio Rosas, 20 years old, joined the group, as a percussionist, later providing backing vocals on some songs, and then playing the guitar. In 2002 the group is completed with the arrival of Daniel Rosas, on lead guitar. Daniel at the tender age of 17 amazed everyone with his mastery and command of his instrument.
And Liverpool Beatleweek may only be a 7-day festival, but if the band's good vibration levels are at even a fraction of that experienced by the fans (and I suspect they will actually be much higher than even Nelson's Column) then the anticipation will make 'em feel as if they've been having fun all summer long. Why not add some music to your day by checking them out?
