Our Show with Chris Carter from "Breakfast with the Beatles"
One more thing I’d like to mention is the show we played in Sherman Oaks at the SFDS Fair. Chris Carter of Breakfast with the Beatles brought us up with a GREAT welcome. It was cooking out that day, but we were rocking in the shade of the stage’s canopy thingy! And even though, in that kind of heat, it’s difficult to put out the energy, people danced and sang and kept our spirits high! We had a blast! So we just want to say THANKS to ALL of you for your support at EVERY show!
-Hope to see you guys at our summer shows at Knott’s Berry Farm!!!
-Love Benny and the whole gang!

Britain's Finest Beatles Tribute to Cross the BIG Pond.
Delivering Beatles music like a pizza, is sort of what we do… even if you didn’t order one! Lately, we’ve been doing a bit of traveling, have had the opportunity to be mentioned on the air and even some television spots.
Before we went to Mexico, we spoke to some DJs there from this side of the border and tried to drum up some enthusiasm for our arrival! There was definitely a feeling of excitement as they hollered out words some of us couldn’t even understand while, occasionally, they sprinkled in words like, “Beatles” and “Sgt. Peppers”. Tyson and I (Benny) managed to get our two cents in by spouting out utter nonsense over the airwaves. Then, before we knew it, we were all headed for the border to “deliver” the Beatles music that was promised to the people!
On the way we had one stop before Mexicali… El Centro! When we rolled up, we saw big posters and banners posted nearby. We discovered that the place was not huge, but it was a good size place to rock out! We settled into our hotel rooms and then made our way to sound-check. Once it was show time, people had filled up “Center Stage on Broadway Event Center”. We hit the stage to a roaring crowd that was in the mood for some GREAT times. They would not let up and they fueled our fire all the way through! Even though we were tired from a long days travel, we had a hard time sleeping after that show was over. The people gave us SO much energy we were buzzing ‘til the sun literally came up! We were treated like royalty by George, Daniel and Veronica, who took care of us the whole time we were down there.
That next morning, we dragged ourselves out of our rooms and loaded the equipment back into our respective vehicles and a van that most of us carpooled in. Off to Mexicali we went! When we arrived, Robert yelled,” Viva Cuba”, and consequently, we were shot at several times. JUST KIDDING! We actually cruised right in and had a great welcome! People stared at us as we entered the Hotel in Mexicali because our posters were plastered in the lobby and they couldn’t help but notice the resemblance (especially ME!-yeah right).
When we got to Show Center, Plaza Juarez, there was a line snaking around the front of the place and it was very exciting to see so many avid Beatles fans all in one place. Luis, Tyson, Robert and I were feeling the buzz of pure Beatle adrenalin. We knew that it was going to be a special evening. Throughout the whole show, the Mexicali folks were on our team, just screaming, singing and dancing. I think we may have played the songs a hundred miles an hour just from the wild energy emanating from the audience. Mexicali showed us what it’s like to appreciate a show! They were a spectacular crowd and I know we will have to go see them again and again!!!
Needless to say, we all got home safely and had lots of laughs on the way home. That is, until we had to unload all of our gear, lugging it up the stairs and into garages, etc…
