Over BoDeans
Biografie van artiest
Like many ambitious artists, BoDeans received a musical boost after being embraced by Hollywood: The Wisconsin bandās rootsy, upbeat 1993 single āCloser to Freeā ended up a hit after becoming the theme song of the TV drama Party of Five. That widespread success came more than a decade after high school pals Kurt Neumann and Sam Llanas started collaborating together and cutting their teeth in Milwaukeeās music scene. Major labels came calling, and the T Bone Burnett-produced 1986 debut album, Love & Hope & Sex & Dreamsāas well as stirring anthems such as 1987ās āOnly Loveāāestablished BoDeans as one of Americaās most promising heartland rock bands. Tours with U2, contributions to Robbie Robertsonās 1987 solo debut, and sonic experimentation soon followed, highlighted by 1991ās keyboard-buffed Black and White, produced by Prince collaborator David Z. In the ensuing decades, BoDeans weathered challengesāincluding Llanasā sudden 2011 departure from the band, followed years later by a deep personal rift between him and Neumannābut maintained a steady touring and recording schedule.
