  • Episode 13 - The White Album
    Aug 9 2020

    Episode 13 is here of The Beatle Bugs Podcast! Will it be lucky or unlucky 13 for our intrepid quartet?

    After the death of Brian Epstein, the band were at a crossroads. Their next album would reflect the bands move away from the studio heavy "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" and toward a more back to basics approach.

    This episode looks at the bands significant trip to India, the cloud under which they left the country and the sound they came back with. We also look at the growing tensions between the band members and how those tensions played out in the studio and how they influenced the composition of some of the bands most celebrated and iconic songs.

    The White Album was, and remains today, as one of the bands most iconic albums.

    It was also the beginning of the end...

  • Episode 11 - Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
    Jul 19 2020

    After a brief hiatus, the Beatle Bugs Podcast is back to cover one of the most iconic albums in the history of The Beatles...indeed in all of music history!

    Sgt Peppers lonely Hearts Club Band is the bands 8th studio album and has gone down as one of THE greatest albums in history. Freed from their obligations to tour, the Beatles could finally give their all in the studio. They would innovate and experiment, using a plethora of new sounds and instruments never before used by any other band. In fact, the bands most important new instrument was the studio itself. The album would push the boundaries of music to its outer limits and the result was a musical masterpiece.

    Join us as we review the album and a most critical period in the history and development of The Beatles. Things would never be the same again!
