Thank you for visiting the Producers site. Use this link to Add an entry to this guestbook.

First of all, thank you Paul for all of your hard work on this site. It is incredible! Visiting it brought back so many fond memories, catching the band several times during their run in Georgia. I was born and bred in Dalton, Georgia, and played in several bands that "covered" Producers material. Everyone I associated with loved the band, and made it a PRIORITY to see them live. I have been looking for a site of some kind like this for many years, and thank God I found this one.It really surprises me (in an incredibly GOOD way) to hear that they will be touring again. I hope to catch them this summer in the midwest, once dates and places are set, I'M THERE! Bryan, Van, Wayne and Kyle ROCK! Just bought the CD (my God, what took so long?), and I am wearing it out!Go Producers! Keep your music alive! There are many of us out here that respect and love your work!

Born and raised in New Orleans...I used to see The Producers perform on The Riverboat President. I was only a freshman in college and was introduced to their music by my best friend who had the biggest crush on Van! :) I quickly became entranced by their music and dynamic stage presence! At the time I truly saw this group going everywhere...and I was witnessing the beginning of something special! Now I've moved to Florida in the Wacky Place they call "KEY WEST". It's been years since I've seen them live...and they were phenominal!!! I just got my CD compillation of the first two albums...and have been sharing it with anyone who will listen! I love this group...I'm in my early 30's now...and have two kids...! But The Producers fever hasn't died... and now...my children love this music too! Hearing my 9 yr old son sing La=La Lucy is just to unreal to me! and my 6 yr old daughter has to be as hauntingly beautiful as "SHE SHEILA " was thought to have been! ;) Guys if you read this... I just want you to know I think you are such a hot band! What a super group of guys! Hey...and if you are EVER in The Florida Keys.... I can almost promise you'll have a following here rather soon! Good luck to you all! Thanks for the great memories!Long Live THE PRODUCERS!

HEY!!! Please please tell me that The Producers will make it to the Midwest this summer. Kansas City? I caught them at a club in Hays, Kansas (very small) on the RFYL tour. I had to beg to get in as I was only 16 at the time. It was fantastic. I know that Wayne won't remember this, but I was in a band at the time that covered What's He Got. We altered the lyrics to "He's got Shoes..." I told him about that before the show and when they played the song he pointed at us and his shoes and we all laughed. Great memories, and even greater music. See ya on the road...HEY!!

For any of you wondering (as I did) how to pronounce that unreleased album "Coelacanth" this is what I found:For the Coelacanth, ("see-la-kanth"), that 400 million year old "living fossil" fish, the time odyssey continues. Once thought to have gone extinct with the dinosaurs, the Coelacanth was "discovered" alive and well in 1938!

I just got a new computer and the first thing I did was look for anything on the web for the producers!!!This is a great site!! I just have to say to all you who have seen them live that your a bunch of lucky bastardsand I envy you all!! These guys have been a huge influence on my songwriting since way back in 1980.I had thier debut and "heat" on vinyl but cant find anything out here on disc. I guess now that ive found this site theres no excuse. Its nice to find that there are plenty of producers fans out there. I was getting tired of the old "who"? response when preaching the producers gospel. Anyway, great site, keep up the good work and know that we love those guys!!!!!!!!!!!!Anybody heard neil finns new one yet? Awe inspiring!!!Regards, Mac.

Coelacanth on CD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ---- One Way has just received approval from the president of Universal to release Coelacanth on CD. They should get the master tapes in the next two weeks. They are aiming for a June 26th release date. This is GREAT news. For those of you who have not heard these songs, this is a GREAT record. You will really enjoy it. As I know more, I will update here.

Some CD publicity ---------------The following paragraph appeared in today's (Monday-3/26/2001) Atlanta Journal-Constitution Newspaper on page C-2:--------- Producing a disc The 1980s nostalgia kick has finally, er, produced something of merit. Twenty years after their initial release on vinyl (and just in time for car-radio-cranking, windows-down weather), both albums that the Producers made for CBS Records have been released for the first time on compact disc. Sony Music Special Products has wedged both the Atlanta act's 1981 "The Producers" and 1982 effort "You Make The Heat" onto one CD. The delectably cheesy act that once graced MTV with "What's He Got?" and "She Sheila" has inspired fans composing reviews online at Amazon.com to begin clamoring for a reunion tour.

News Updates ---- One Way says Coelacanth CD release still on hold pending approval from MCA President. Should know in about 1 more week. One Way is not asking for Run For Your Life masters until Coelacanth issue is resolved. ---- Bryan wants to sell CDs at the upcoming shows. The band will sign them for everyone. ---- Trying to book a tour of midwest in June, however, it is difficult to tell your day job that you need time off to go on tour. --- That's all the news for now, I will keep everyone updated as I get more info.

As this is my first post to the message board, I will fill everyone in on the latest news (as I know it):In reference to Run For Your Life and Coelacanth coming out on CD: I spoke again with my contact at One Way Records on Friday. He finally caught up with Bryan. Bryan is looking for the RFYL master tapes. My contact says it will be another 2 weeks on the MCA Coelacanth issue. He says that he thinks it will be resolved quickly with a possible June release. He told me that since RFYL and Coelacanth will not fit on one CD, they would like to fill it out with demos and hard to find songs. I told him about "Run Back" from the Miller Music LP on RCA. He also said that Bryan knows some people that do syndicated radio shows on the 80's. Bryan is going to get him a list so he can send some Promo copies of the first CD out to them to get some radio airplay. Bryan says that the original band (with Kyle) is doing multiple shows coming up. I then called and spoke with Van Temple to fill him in. He said the band is doing a private party here in Atlanta in March around St. Patrick's Day, the Carrollton show on May 5th, and then some dates in the Midwest in June. He said that the May 5th show was most likely the only show coming up in the Atlanta area. This will be the first time the band has played together since the Rick Springfield show here in Atlanta on September 10, 1999. They did not play at all in 2000. For those in the Atlanta area, Van is playing around town in a Beatles cover band called Mr. Moonlight.Details on the Carrollton show: The Producers will be playing in Carrollton, GA (Bryan's home town) on May 5, 2001. The event is called "Mayfest" and is held on the square (outside) in Carrollton. The fee will be around $5.00 and they are scheduled to play from 6:45PM to 8:00PM. Carrollton is about 60-90 minutes East of Atlanta, close to the Alabama border. That's all the news for now, I will continue to post updates here.

I spotted the Guys unpacking some gear and of course had their tape handy and poped She-Shiela in the cassete and cranked it ! They might remember Me cause I was in a promotionl van with the words " Alive with Pleasure: NEWPORT" on it. Was awsome bumping into them there and it was a good laugh had by all ! They actually came over to the van and asked whos great song that was playing ! Good Guys ! Thanks for the music and the memory !

I've been a huge Producers fan for many years, and have beensearching in vain for some CD releases. I tried the One Wayrecords site you recommended, but nothing is listed about the1st 2 albums on CD that you had mentioned was supposed to be released November, 2000. I will try criminal.com next, butcould you please e-mail me at flubbusboy@netscape.net with any new developments about CD releases? Thanks.Kirby

This site is great!!!! I used to see The Producers when they played in New Orleans too. The best venue was The President, a riverboat that would cruise during the concerts! I have all 3 albums and plan to burn them to CD soon. Until then, I listen to them on cassette in my car all of the time. By the way, I believe Tim came from Baton Rouge LA. Again, GREAT SITE!!!!!

Mandeville, LA USA -

The Producers were my first concert in eighth grade in Tallahassee. Curiously enough, the opening acts were two local bands, Crosscut Saw and John Kurzweg and The Night. John is based out of Atlanta now (his father was a Lutheran minister in Tallahassee) and is best known as the producer of Creed's first two albums. I saw them altogether three times, once with Kyle, twice with Tim. The shows were always awesome. I have all three albums on vinyl and just this week pulled out a mixed cassette I have of them. I am excited to find the first two albums re-released on CD as I was making plans to burn a CD of all three albums. I would kill to see them live again. The shows were always chock full of cute girls. Please come to Charlotte. I am married with a son, but would spring for a babysitter to see The Producers again.

Today...I finally found a Producers website. I been a fan since 1981 when I saw them for the first (seen them over 25 times) time in Tallahassee, FL. I have some posters and stuff from the supposed recording of a "run for your life" video they did in 1985-6 I can't remember. It was a bar called The Musical Moon.Where can I buy the CD's been loking for them too for about 15 years...GREAT Website BTW.Thanks.

Marietta, GA USA -

This website is wonderful. But just now finding out that a new CD was released ticked me off... I spent the last three nights downloading all of the songs from the first two albums and compiling my own CD, with cover art and everything! Then found the link, and the CD info. I'll still buy it though, just to help with the cause. I first saw The Producers back in '81 or '82, when I was EIGHT YEARS OLD (with my parents, big fans), at Ga. Tech. Still a big fan to this day!

Hey, the Creative Loafing article mentions this site...COOL! Anyway, the tour is good news, though I won't be able to enjoy it (darn!) since I now live in Europe. The band might wanna know a DJ in Puerto Rico (Junior Ortiz of Alfa Rock) is interested in taking the band down to the island (hey, Caribbean vacation, huh?); and the band should also now their songs are constantly played at Alfa Rock (Thanks Omar for the news) Just an idea, if y'all Producers are listening. I do not expect you guys to come to Europe, so I hope Paul could find a way to broadcast a concert (audio at least)...

ive been a producers fan since about 1991, an old friend of mine had a copy of you "you make the heat" on record, and since then i have been looking for a copy, til i got a computer and downloaded the whole album off of napster, but today i bought the reissue of it on cd , its got to be one greatest albums of all time!!!and i was wondering if anyone has a web site to find guitar tabs of "you make the heat" mainly she shelia , operation and dear john, thanks nick

I'm psyched I found this site. GREAT JOB Paul!!! Keep up the good work. Van, Bryan, Wayne, and Kyle (& Tim), You guys have 10's of 1000's of fans in the SE US. Don't give up! Will definitely grab the compilation CD and anything else I can get my hands on (for that matter). It's been 16 years since I've heard a measure of your music and had lost hope until randomly searching Napster. Then found this site. Hope to see you guys live soon. Covered your music for years and always got a great response! Gotta let the boys in my old band in on this site. I think I speak for most of your devotees when I say that if I, as a fan, could have done more to make you guys a COMPLETE success, I regret not doing so. Give us a second chance and we'll come out in droves! The music industry sucks! I mean look at what's popular now! Thanks for the memories guys, looking forward to making new ones. Feeling nostalgic in Birmingham, Scott D!

Atlanta, GA USA -

wow a cd out! My records are worn down to the nub! Saw the producers 3 times and every time was awesome. They opened for Haircut 100 at the Kabuki in Frisco and they blew them off the stage. The show that blew me away was the old wardoff in sf. I sat on the edge of the stage in the small club and had bryan screaming who do you think you are in my face. What was awesome was the fact these guys had no stage monitors and they nailed 3 part vocals. I saw tim with jellyfish and I saw van outside keystone palo alto befroe the show. with all these 80's bands coming back I would love to see them again! Thanks for the CD!

I went to the local "music store" in my town over the weekend looking for The Producers on CD. The all knowing sales(and that is giving them a lot of credit), wanted to know if "that is like a band". I told them not only was it like a band, but it mosy certainly was and still is a band.It looks like we have to do some teaching to help get this CD in the stores. Please go to your local music store and ask for The Producers and if they don't have it yet, ask them to order it. We need to get some sales generated besides just off the internet. Let's get these gentlemen the recognition they have deserved for the past 20(almost 21) years. THANKS!

Paul, great job on the site!! Your guestbook contributions have skyrocketed the last few months, it's good to see alot of interest in this band (they deserve it). Heres an observation, I saw The Producers in 1982 Los Angeles, I recently saw a tape of them in Tennessee 1989, and a recent guestbook entry, what do they all have in common? Poor Wayne has technical problems!! Still one of my favorite bands. The "new" cd is great, next Run for your life? Keep up the good work.

Vista , Ca USA -

I remember a friend of mine from NC State turned me on to the Producers back in 82'and I thought "Wow, finally an album I can listen to all the way through." I finally caught them live in concert at a club in Charlotte, NC called PB Scotts...they kicked ass! I remember jumping for a pick that Kyle threw out into the audience, and I landed on a beer bottle in the floor and twisted my ankle...and to make matters worse, I didn't catch the pick! Anyway, it was a great show and I couldn't wait to see them again...later in 84, they came back to PB Scotts to play..without Kyle...I still have the Miller beer guitar sticker that says The Producers on my guitar case. I felt really bad for Wayne Famous at this show, during the set, I remember him having a short in his cord that went to his keyboards...right in the middle of one of the songs..he looked right at me, because I always tried to get to front row, and we both just kinda shook our heads at the same time, but even with the technical probs, they still put on a great show. I seen them about 2 or 3 more times in Charlotte when they played a club called Kidnappers. They always got the crowd to bopping up and down..especially on Merry-Go-Round...in 87, Kidnappers closed, and I never heard from them again. I got married and quit going to the clubs as much...but I've got very fond memories of the days when me and my friends would go check out the Producers. I still have their autograph, where I took a flyer from Kidnappers and had the guys sign it for me...in 1995, I opened a record shop in Shelby, NC, and proudly had their autographs displayed on the wall. I Love Lucy is my favorite Producers song. Mick Hoyle

I just wanted to say how great it is to hear "You Make The Heat" on CD. This was an album that I loved so much when I was just 13 years old, and to finally have a perfect copy of it is better than I could have imagined. As I grew older I began to drift toward Thrash Metal and later Death and Black Metal,but the drum sound on this 1982 release never left my head. Years later I found myself longing to hear those songs again, not just for the drums, but for the whole band's grasp of what this kind of music should sound like. Your band has been criminally over-looked for way too long, just like alot of the bands that I listen to now. Thanks for alot of great memories spent listening to your music.

The Producers are my all-time favorite 80s band! Coincidentally, I just looked them up on Napster last week (12/00), just about the time their re-issue came out!Never got to see them live, but still hoping... Columbus Ohio is a HUGE college town (Ohio State University).

columbus, oh USA -

THE PRODUCERS long-awaited "Reissue" is EXCELLENT!!! It is a huge success in terms of its quality, and even the fact that it is a dream that has finally been realized.The mastering is excellent, and I could not have been more pleased with the sound. I *think* the dynamic range is wider than that of the original LPs, but for sure, the clarity and feeling of the listening experience is markedly improved. The packaging is excellent too, especially in that it includes original cover art and all lyrics. My only complaint with the packaging is in the glaring omission of production details, and contact info (namely, this website).Thanks to Paul for this website. I'd also like to thank all those who were responsible for making this reissue happen. Peace, Love, Rock'n'Roll,

Saw the producers in Stevens Point, WI, in 1982 or so. Great show, and the CD sounds good too. Too bad the band doesn't meander up here anymore.

Madison, WI USA -

Great Site!! I'm glad to finally get their first on CD. The Producers deserve a lot more than they got. I'm lucky to be in Atlanta where they get air-play on 99-X. I've seen them numerous times and they always put on a great show! It is amazing to me that they can still sound as good as they did 20 years ago.

The Producers are everything I've ever wanted in a band. Great musicianship, song writing, and oh yeah... FUN! If they ever play the SFO Bay Area, please let me know (you now have my email), I promise to bring a friend. The Producers would be perfect at a venue like Slim's in the City!

Concord, CA USA -

I received my CD from CDNow! Wa-hoo! I agree with the person who said you can hear sounds you didn't hear on vinyl. Actually, I found the debut to sound identical to the vinyl release but You Make the Heat sounds a little different. It sounds excellent. When are they going to tour? I want front row.

Roswell, GA USA -

I'm wearing this CD out......I have been listening to it everywhere I go for the past couple of days. It's playing on my computer here at work, listened to it in my Blazer on the way in, and at home last night. I still remember almost every single word from each cut...My wife never heard of them, except from me. She enjoyed the CD. She asked if they were that good live, I told her better. Nothing like seeing Wayne jumping around with a full size Oberheim Keyboard on a neck strap! The CD does sound good, though I thought with today's technology their would be a little less tape hiss on the CD.Hopefully enough CD's will sell that they will consider re-releasing Run for Your Life....

I got my two copies (one for my brother, another big fan) today from CDNow!!!! I had the greatest times in college at the University of South Carolina whenever the Producers came to town. I saw them last at the Halloween party out at the Natural History Museum (some museum) in Atlanta in 1993. Great show with Kyle back on bass. Hoping that Run For Your Life will be re-issued next, as my cassette has seen better days. Thanks for the site, I check back often for any updates. Keep up the great work.Bjorn Anderson

I have been looking for any Produers cd or even tape for a long time. I was pleased to find your site and thrilled to hear about the re-release. The Producers got a lot of airplay during my high school years in my hometown of Baton Rouge, LA. I saw them live at the infamous Murphys, a (former) LSU bar in '89(?). I seem to remember the radio spots advertising the show as a homecoming for the band, Tim specificly, if memory serves. Keep up the good work!

After listening to the CD I can say that Brian did a really good job was done on the re-master. I heard things on the CD that I never heard on the LP/cassette. Of course he may have broght the drums a bit more out front (at least that's the way it sounds on my stereo). But then again, I always thought the original drum mixes were somewhat buried in the first place. Now if Peter Frampton will just release "Breaking All The Rules" onto CD, (which i hear might actually happen, according to his web site) I can forever dump the turntable!!!

Yes, they are in. I got mine today...I ordered it to ship overnight from CD NOW. Also, I was able to order You Make The Heat only, for $8.99...we'll see how that shakes out! Anyway, I'm pretty sure that CD NOW takes a day to update their list...by the way, my band, Thrillsville (www.thrillsville.net), is currently seeking legal clearance to cover "Operation" on our up-coming album...we already do "She Sheila", and it never fails that folks come up and say, "I love that song...I haven't heard it in sooooo long".This is a great day for all fans of the Producers!Peace!StevieD

Just wanted to say i love this site, i have sent it out to both my sisters. We all are long time fans of the producers.I was happy to hear from someone on napster that they are releasing the first 2 albums on one cd. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. My first show ever was going to the producers in december of 83 in New Orleans on the riverboat President. I think i saw them live about 6 more times after that, mostly on the president. Thanks for the sitechris

Wow....I can't believe the time has finally come. Hope there will be nothing to delay the CD release scheduled for tomorrow. Someone please write if you have an update. I ordered my advanced copy from CD NOW as soon as Mr. Schulz advised me of it.I worked with a great band in San Antonio from 1984-1986 called "The Secret". We had a wonderful opportunity to open for The Producers at a private party at a country club in San Antonio. A lot of high school kids with VERY wealthy parents hired them and us to play for them that night. I enjoyed meeting them and talking to them. They were always a popular band with our band members, though I never understood why until I heard their music and had the chance to meet them.I am looking forward to the CD release. I know like many other Producer fans I will now be able to throw away my turntable. No other albums are as important to me.....C'mon CD......

OH GOD I love this band and THANK GOD the CD's are finally coming out! My poor tapes and records have been played to death! New Orleans LOVES THE PRODUCERS. Some of my fondest memories include seeing the PRODUCERS live. My friends and I adored this music and we would see them every time they came to N.O. , which was often! Excellent live band! I'm counting the days until the CD comes out......

Brookfield, CT USA -

I remember this band as one of the brightest power pop outfits in the early '80s with a rare ability to put "hooks" in their lyrics, not just the melodies. From the question/answer format of "what's he got that I aint got....(answer) he's got you, that's what he's got" to the repetitive double meaning of "certain kind of girl...certain that i'm gonna make her mine" and of course "She...Sheila" this band knew how to ride a hook. The keyboard player was a hoot and really knew how to connect with an audience. Are these guys playing again or is the re-release of material just what we're gonna get. I would love to see them in action and would appreciate any info you might have regarding live dates.

You might be interested in my small part in the Producers legacy - I played keyboards on Kyle Henderson's "More Than the Look of Love" album back in 1986 or whenever. The band I was in at the time was talking to Kerygma, Kyle's gospel label, and they asked me to play on the album. they were shocked to find that I was not only aware of who Kyle was, but I was also a very big Producers fan. Anyway, drop me a line if this is of any interest to you - and thanks for the website. The Producers were another of those great bands that never found an audience...

I think I have E-mailed you before. A long time ago. The re issue means everything to me. (As much as a past memory can be, I guess.) I ordered two, just in case something happens to my original one, and sending the re issue notice on to all my The Producers friends. My love of The Producers started because Kyle Henderson's dad, was my HS Speech teacher my senior year in the spring of 1980 at North Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana. Kyle had just joined this band, and would send demo tapes to his dad and was really, really excited. His dad would let us hear them in class. The Producers just took off, seemingly out of no where, and were really getting a big following and were going to be on their way. While in college at Indiana University as a DJ, doing Large Fraternity/Sorrority and Dorm parties, I would play The Producers tunes in between all the other stuff of the day. Songs like, She Sheila, I Love Lucy, The End, Certain Kinda Girl, What She Does To Me/Here's To You..Starting in the spring of 1981,2,3,4. The Producers rocked at Indiana University on my turntables as a DJ, and other college towns. These guys (The Producers) were all about what College Life was for me. Have fun, work hard, and don't take life too seriously. We would "roadtrip" to Atlanta, GA, Florida State University, Sarasota, FL, etc. etc. from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, just to hear these guys live ... and always had a great time. They even let us sing with them during their encore Beatles set, at the end of the night on several occasions. They should have been much bigger in my opinion. Especially from a live perspective, they rocked!! They played on MTV's New Year's Eve ( 1982,3??) and we really felt like a little piece of us somehow made it too, cause we know how hard the guys had worked to get there. ( Like the feeling in the movie, "That Thing You Do" when you heard their song on the radio the first time. It was emotionally great to see them, our hero's, make it.) My Fav The Producers story is this........ In the meantime, we would call in requests to radio stations, anything we could, trying to create The Producers mania. I even got them to come home to Indiana at The Vogue nightclub (At that time, the largest live music club in Indianapolis, IN) begging the bar owner to book them. He finally did. We brought a following to hear Kyle Henderson, who was our local hero turned into a rock star. (Before Babyface, also a North Central HS grad about the same time.) We put up fliers at our expense, and begged the local radio stations to play The Producers tunes..Even during a $20.00 a song charity marathon just days before on Q 95 radio, we paid for 5 songs in a row...( we took the album over ourselves, and who sais payolla doesn't work?LOL) That was $100.00 just to hear our favorite band. We filled The Vogue with 500 people, thanks to a lot of my friends hard work with about 1000 flyers out for two weeks all over Broad Ripple, and made out local music papers ads in the personal sections, that we placed ourselves. (This was before E Mail lol) Yes, we did it, because we wanted to have a great showing for them. After all, life on the road is hard enough.... And we wanted to give them a great Indiana welcome. The band was surprised at this stop, in a town they had never played in before, to see a full house of fans thanks to many peoples hard work getting the word out... The only thing that makes this story sooo funny was, this was 1984.. And Kyle had just left the band and out comes Tim Smith...to a crowd wanting to see their local hero. Needless to say, it took a few tunes for us to relax...and realize it was still the same songs from the band we had loved...and if there ever was a twin of Kyle on Bass, it was Tim. (They moved and sounded the same) After a while, the band relaxed, we relaxed...and all of us had a great time. It was the best. That night, I got to sing with the band during the encore once again to "A Hard Days Night" and some other songs too... Again, with several of my friends looking on, I got to feel what it was to be a rock star in my own home town. It was one of those times frozen in my memory from my past, that everyone dreams of. I got to sing with my idols on stage, in my home town, and in front of my friends. It doesn't get any better than that. PS....To make this whole thing a seem even more strange, a guy on my dorm floor at Willkie Quad, at Indiana University, who heard me play all those The Producers tunes over, and over, and over again at parties, was Eddie Wilner. I didn't know, till recently, that he is from the company responsible for making The Producers on CD a reality. Eddie is Director Of Licensing for One Way Record Label, Innovative Distribution Network, Alliance Entertainment Corp. It's a small world. I just chatted with him on the phone...We talked about old times..And how many times I played The Producers songs..We laughed, and they are really excited too, about the re issue. So buy a copy for you, one for your friend, and spread the word. And if you ever hear of them playing live again?...We, (My wife is a huge fan and never saw them live,) would road trip it in a heartbeat.

I just ordered the 2-CD release of "The Debut"/"You Make The Heat" from CDNow.com and can't wait to get it. Finally,.. finally I will get to listen to them on CD and not have to worry about scratching my vinyl anymore. I've got to say that this still won't be enough to fulfill my Producers needs. I loved the "Run for Your Life" release (though it's hard to pick a favorite, I think I do like it the best). I also feel like I've just got to have their unreleased stuff too. WVBK, hope you guys can do something for us. Thanks to all of those responsible for getting the first 2 on CD.

What a kick!!! I just found this site after several years of trying a bunch of search engines and typing in various combination URL's. Always comes up with the Mel Brooks movie of the same name. I can't believe that there is actually a Producer's site and that they are still around after all these years. The band I played in in the early to mid eighties did a number of their tunes. We also recorded several of our own, and most people thought they were in the Producer's style. I have 30 second samples from the Coelacanth album, but no real tracks - as such, I've been trying to track down a copy, but now am reading through this site that it was not released. Anyone got MP3's they're willing to share? Hey - thanks for putting up this site. It's fantastic to see so many other fans out there.

I have an ULTRA RARE live video shot in Chattenooga, TN. It's almost two hours and they play songs from all three official releases. I own the only master, so your copy will be a second generation! It was shot with a camcorder and the video is good. Lots of close ups. Audio is good too, but it's camcorder audio. Tim Smith is featured on bass also. I will tape this for you on a Maxell Gold, SP mode, and ship priority for $23. Email me for more info and a songlist. Thanks! (Can't wait for the reissues!)

Thanks for the great site. I saw them in 1982 at the Royal Oak Music Theatre. It was $2.50 a ticket called "Budget Exposure" by one of the radio stations. They were promoting the "You Make The Heat Album". I sat in the 3rd row and it was a fantastic show. They ended up going over to a McDonalds about 4 blocks away after the show with a lot of people that came to the show. Since then it has been hard finding out whatever happened to them. Thanks for having a great site. I hope they go on tour and come back to Michigan.JB

North Augusta, SC USA -

Here's the "cut & Paste" version of the article in Atlanta's _CREATIVE_LOAFING_ Aug.12,0008/12/00Who wants to be a quarter-millionaire?By GREGORY NICOLL Ultraphonic When the young Atlanta-area rock band Ultraphonic recently won a $250,000 record contract from the Garageband.com website, their producer/spokesman Bryan Holmes was understandably pleased. "It was pretty cool," he says cheerfully. "We had five songs on their site, and all five made the Top 100 -- three were in the Top 40. This is out of 40,000 songs." But Holmes was also cautious. "They flew out and had a meeting with us last week. They're very knowledgeable and reputable people, but they're still negotiating with several major labels for distribution. We also want to make sure they have an in-house promotion department. In the meantime, we're talking to several other major labels." That quarter million dollars, Holmes reveals, would be partly tied up in pressing costs and promotion, "and none of that has been determined yet. When they get that together, we'll be that much closer to signing." If Holmes sounds unusually business-savvy, it's because he learned a great deal about the industry during his tenure in the Producers, an Atlanta pop band that enjoyed several hits during the early '80s new wave boom. He's currently preparing re-mastered CDs of the Producers' first two albums, with an expected release this October through One Way Records.But Ultraphonic's new CD, originally scheduled for late summer, will now take longer. "It won't be released until early next year," says Holmes. "We may go cut a few more songs and put at least one or two of the new ones on the disc. But whether through Garageband.com or elsewhere, it's gonna be out right after the first of the year." Ultraphonic plays an Atlantis conference showcase at the Variety Playhouse, Sat., Aug. 12

Very cool site. I didn't really get into the band until about '88 when my best friend insisted I see them at The Exit Inn, a Vandy hang out. This was after Run For Your Life and they were selling it at the tables. Lots of energy and fun the watch. I really dig the first two records (got 'em on wax). "Operation" is probably my favorite. Didn't know much about the MCA tape in the vaults. I'm in the music biz and know some folks there. If there's a chance and getting some audio you'll all know about it. Thanks Paul for the fun site.

I first saw the Producers when I was a Jr. in High School(1982). They played a concert on a river boat which use to be in New Orleanscalled the President. While the band played, the boat cruised upand down the Mississippi river. Great concert, standing room only.Had a great time, met two girls there and danced all night with them.Older brother and his friends who took me were jealous of me picking up on two chicks. Thanks Producers for the great memories.

While looking thru my old LP's the other day, I came upon my collectionof The Producers albums. I decided to search WWW for anything on them. Thisis the first place I looked. Love the site, great info, and resources. Likesome of the other guests, I was lucky enough to play in a band that openedfor The Producers. It was a band I played in with Michael Morales before he got signed. Remember him? While on tour with Michael, I was hoping to comeupon some of the guys but, didn't. Anyway, back in the 80's they played myhome town (San Antonio, TX) so much Michael & I became pretty good friendswith Bryan. Anywho, thanks for the CD jewel case pictures they came in handy.

Wow...I have finally landed on my favorite internet site! This has GOT to make Kyle, Van, Wayne and Bryan very proud to see the continued support! The Producers are my all-time favorite group. I am a keyboard player that spent many hours picking out Wayne's keyboard tracks. I was extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to play in a band that opened for The Producers on one of their last shows with Kyle back in '84 down in Pensacola, FL. We were at the club doing our sound check on the afternoon that they were to arrive, and as I looked around I saw some of the band members coming in. Kyle was playing Space Invaders on an arcade machine, (remember Kyle?) so I managed to introduce myself and slip him my name and number if he ever needed a keyboard player in the future. Kyle, Van, Wayne and Bryan....you guys were incredible together! Thanks for some really great music!

Love The Producers. Didn't know they were still around, or that they had a 4th album. I'm glad I found this web site. I too was in a cover/original band that did Breakaway and Certain Kinda Girl, although I love all their songs. I remember seeing the She Sheila video on MTV. I've only seen them live once but it was for a sound check where I was helping a freind with the lighting for the show. This was at a place called the Graduate in San Luis Obispo. They also did a promo autograph signing at a local record store. I hope they come back to our area so I can see them again.

I first saw the Producers when I was sixteen. It was at a sma;; bar across the street from what is now the Gold Club. I thiknit was called the Horseshoe Tavern or something like that. The band played two shows - with and without alcohol. Being only sixteen, I remember thinking it was cool to be in a bar. The show was great!!! Does anyone know if they ar eplaying anywhere in ATL in 2000?

Is there any live tapes? The Producers were an great live! The group MUST have recorded something???Burn them onto a cd, I'd buy it!!!!Also did the Producers play overseas??? Or just here?Someone please answer :--)

i ran across you site by accident and was totally floored to see that there was a producers web site!!! they used to be one of my favorite bands of all time. i often wondered why they never got bigger than they were. i graduated hs in 83 so for me and a select group of buddies, they were really influential in the music we played(im a guitarist. a bad guitarist, but a guitarist nevertheless) and the memories i now have. i have several copies of their albums and snag them anytime i run across them at record shops. my copies of ymth look different than the ones on your site. they do not have the red "the producers" in such bold letters like your picture does. i still listen to them this very day and have them on home made mix tapes for my road trips back home to el paso from dallas. i have had the pleasure of seeing them live and remember the whole night as if it was yesterday. i bet there is a shit load of 35 year olds out there that would love to hear them play again. i would.your buddy,rob flores

Back in 1982 I was working at a record store and my manager brought The Producers "You Make the Heat" album to out attention. We had heard that they were going to be playing a show in our town shortly, so we started listening to the album and giving it a lot of in-store play. It wasn't long before the entire staff was hooked, and we all went to the show. They were awesome !! The vocals were executed perfectly, Wayne was jumping all over the place, and Bryan was a Terry Bozio knock-off. I was so impressed, that a few days later I drove to San Francisco to see them again. A few years later, I was playing in a cover band and I talked the band into performing She Sheila. We knew the audience wouldn't recognize the song, but it always was well received. It's a shame that The Producers didn't go on to become more well known. I think of myself as being fortunate for being one of the few that had an opportunity to see them and to have copies of their music. In fact, as I write this, I am transferring "You Make the Heat" onto my hard drive so I can preserve it on CD. In closing, I hope that the band will read this, and that this letter finds them all well. Keep playing guys, there are always a few enlightened listeners out there who will come hear you and will be supportive of fine musicianship. Take care, God bless, and know that you are always welcome in Modesto !

I was in a garage band in the early 80's in Phoenix and covered many Producers songs. They always went over well at gigs and we were always amazed that they didn't have better commercial sucess. My wife fell in love with me 15 years ago watching me play the drums to "Sheila". A bunch of us saw The Producers OPEN(!?!) for the Del Fuegos at The Devil House in Tempe AZ 3-19-86. I still have the ticket stub, autographed by Van and Bryan. I stood front row,center and Van's guitar pic landed in my beer. (Still have that,too) We didn't even stay for the "headliners". Of course, I have had all three albums since '86 and always check the cd bins just in case...

I know it doesn't help the band, but because I can't find ANY record store that has any Producers albums, you can download some of their songs on the Napster. If anyone ever hears about the Producers playing anywhere, please let me know. I saw them once in Austin, Texas and they were awesome.

I have converted to MP3 the first LP and "You Make The Heat". They were "burned" from very clean LP's at 160 kbps, so the quality is awesome. I am up on Napster most evenings and just about all weekend, so do a search and you may get lucky!!! If any of the band members see this and get a bit upset, I am truly sorry, however all of our vinyl and cassette copies are shot by this point (it has been close to 20 years), and this seems the only logical way to keep this wonderful music alive. With the absence of Producers CD's on the market it is a safe bet that there are no royalties coming in, with the exception being the compilation CD's that we already have. This way, when the stuff finally (if ever) does become commercially available on CD, there will be a whole new legion of fans wanting to buy a true digital copy. If anyone has questions on how to work Napster, let me know. I have been fortunate to have my LP's sit in storage for close to 20 years, now I want to share these clean copies with others. Take care!Paul in San Diego

Napster is a great resource for finding old music out of print. I was one of the misguided souls who bought everything on cassette for my car in the early 80's, so you can imagine the shape my Producers collection is in. Anyway, the Producers have a notable absence on Napster - Everyone should convert their songs to mp3 so we can share. Let's get the Producers well represented in the digital music revolution. It sure would help me (and a lot of others I suspect) out.

When I heardthe Marvelous 3, I thought the Producers were reincarnated. Thanks dude for making this site!I've been on Steve's (99x) case on finding out when a greatest hits CD was coming out.He had mentioned that that might be a possibility. Anyhow, cheers to this site!

I am glad to see a Producers site, finally. I have been friends with Bryan for many years now, and I love the Producers. I have had the honor of opening a few shows for them, both with Tim and with Kyle. (so cool how that was such a smooth transition from one to the other and back.)Anyway, thanks to the web master and all the fans for keeping the music alive. I believe there is a place for it.

Atlanta, GA USA -

After listening to "way too short" clips from the unreleased albu, it occurs to me that the band should re-record these tunes and release them. I really think they were onto a killer album, the best of all the Producers "sounds". So many artists that have gone to other labels now do alt versions of tunes previously recorded on other labels so that their new label can "cash in" on the older songs. Bryan, can't u guys go back and record it again? PLEASE!

Just wanted to say THANK GOD THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO REMENBER GREAT MUSIC!!! I have been a Producers fan from the first album and was blown away when I found this sight and realized there were other fans out there too. I think it is great that the band is still going strong. "She Shiela " is in my cassette deck in the car right now. My four year old's favorite song in the world is "What's he Got!" He knows every word...cool. Also love "Domino", "Certain Kinda Girl", "You Go Your Way", "Dear John"...well you get the picture, everything. I still remember playing those songs back in high school with my band and every time I hear them it takes me right back again. I am dying for a copy of the video "She Shiela" and "Whats he Got" and I am willing to pay to get them. Please E-Mail me if you have a copy of either and would like to make some extra cash. Thanks!

I HAVE NEVR SEEN THEM LIVE, BUT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT OPPURTUNITY SO TIME, GO WEST PLEASE.. THEY MADE A IMPACT ENOUGH I STILL LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC.

While I'm here, I figured I'd give a plug to another incredible band that seems to never get the respect they deserve - but a have a core rabid following of fans.Great guitar/bass/drums/vocals... A bit heavier than The Producers but superb nonetheless. And they're fans of the Producers too! :-)KING'S X... Been around since '88 (officially. Maybe some of you know them already. New CD due in May! :-)

I've always loved The Producers music. I only had the first two releases but really loved everything on them! I first found out about them through a friend back in my Air Force days - 1983 to be exact and I got their first tape in Denver, CO. Don't remember where 'You Make The Heat' popped into my hands but I'm glad it did. Great stuff. Bad thing is the tapes are so worn out, they're not even worth copying. :-(Love the guitars, vocals and, being a drummer, the drums as well! :-)Hopefully Sony will release at least the first one on CD one day. 'Til then, I'm on the hunt for the LP or tapes.Great site!

I saw them on the Run For Your Life tour in Palo Alto, CA at "The Keystone". Great Show, though (as a bass player) I was sorry to have missed Kyle. I also met a security guard in Woodland, CA at a place my band at the time played frequently, who claimed to be the brother-in-law of Wayne Famous. The way the conversation came up was so random that I was pretty sure he was telling the truth. Wayne and his wife were said to be coming in to town that weekend, but Wayne never showed up at the club to play "She Sheila" with us. So, Wayne, do you have family in the Woodland/Sacramento area?

I wont forget that show Cuz they were my idols at the time and it is the first and only time I have ever seen anyone break a piano string from pounding on the keys so hard like Whane did it was awsome!

I was also a big fan of the Producers in the early 80's at Tech. I would love to buy their first album (or all) on a CD. I gave up on vinyl years ago, but this is the first time I have wanted something which dooesn't appear to be available in CD form. You would think we could cut a deal with CBS to bootleg a few copies.

"She Sheila" has finally made it into the digital world!!! Renaissance Records has released a compilation with this track, called "Heard it on the Radio, Vol 3". Their website is www.renaissancecds.com I ordered my copy this morning. They are a record company specializing in re-releases by bands that never made it huge, but made great music nonetheless. I am also into bands like 707, Charlie, Box of Frogs, and New England, and all their CD re-issues were top notch. Our boys out to look here in getting their CD's to the masses.

Stood in line in a torrential downpour for an hour but it was worth it. What a killer show! My band used to do What's He Got and Certain Kinda Girl. Also saw them in Jackson Hole in 1984 doing a soundcheck for some spring break college gig and got to meet em! Great guys. Does anyone know where i can get a cassette copy of the debut album? I must have it. I'll pay good money for a good copy. Thanks. Jeff

LOL!) at Lakewood with John Waite and Rick Springfield. AWESOME set I thought, but way too short! Man was it a real blast from the past to hear those songs I grew up lsitening to in high school.

I first heard the Producers in 1981 when a friend of mine in Wisconsin hooked me up. From the start, I was a huge fan. I have all three albums and all are great. I've seen them play here in Atlanta three times. Once at the Masquerade in Atlanta, once at a small club (I think it was Green's) in Atlanta and one other time (can't remember where). This group should have hit the big time. Don't know what happened, but there must have been some politics at Portrait/CBS. I anxiously await the day their music is put on CD... they should do a boxed set. Anyone who gets one will surely want them all. I went to school in California and when I played them for my friends out there they loved the band. We did air guitar to She, Sheila in a dorm air guitar contest. The drums kick on that tune. Would love to hear of future events.

Atlanta, GA USA - Sunday, November 14, 1999 at 15:38:18 (EST)

Take heart - one of my brothers is a long time Atlanta resident and fan, who has become friendly with the band. At a recent gig, while talking with the sound man, he noticed a Coelacanth cd (complete with cover art) lying on the table next to the mixer. Though much begging and ass-kissing ensued, he couldn't even "borrow" it for a little while (personally, I'd have swiped the sucker, then returned it after duping).Anyway, looks like something may be brewing on that front. Obviously, Paul has a copy, too.Maybe we'll all have one soon.Bill

I've browsed a bit and before I go on, let me thank those who keep this site going!Although I was an avid Mtv watcher from the outset to about 1988, I don't recall ever seeing their videos. Are they available on VHS? A friend of mine played me their debut album in the EARLY 80's and I was hooked! I have all three albums - YMTH with the "alternate" cover described elsewhere in this site - and all in great shape (I made a cassette tape for myself).I saw them live at The Graduate in San Luis Obispo, CA. touring in support of YMTH. Great to read that the group is still playing together (wish they would tour and come to CA again)! I will have to ask at my local purveyor of finely grooved wax (okay, plastic) for the new cd!The quiz asked if we knew of other groups that sound similar to The Producers - for me, The Tubes (circa Completion Backward and Outside/Inside) have that same, cleanly produced, tight sound and energetic feeling.Thanks again!

You Make the Heat is an all time classic. Living in the North East, I never got a chance to see them live in the 80's, but I wore their first two albums out. Run For Your Life was kind of a bum out, but the sound samples on this site for their unreleased album struck me as sweetness. I had a crappy synthesizer in the 80's on which I spent hours trying to get that She Sheila sound. Never quite pulled it off.

This is in response to the "person" in Texas who doesn't have the courage to include your e-mail address when you talk poorly of The Producers. First, the band didn't put together the website, Paul did. Why did he do this? Because he is a fan of The Producers, as a lot of us are. Secondly, no one forced you to the site(unless it was the guy you used to beat up in High School). If you don't like the contents, go somewhere else to pass your day. Thirdly, as I said earlier, don't pass judgment on others if you don't even have the balls to even include your e-mail address. No wait, I just figured out why you didn't put in your address. You had to go to your mommys' house and use her computer because you obviously aren't smart enough to use one yourself. Lastly, The Producers are going to be around for awhile longer, so be on the lookout!!

Bryan, Cant you guys just rerecord these tunes and release them yourselves? The sound of the recording really mixes the first two records vibe together...I remember you guys playing these tunes when you played thru here. Great to hear those samples.

When I found this website I went YEEESSSSSSS!!!! I'm crazy about 80's music, and The Producers are one of the best 80's bands without question. I have their first two albums on cassette (somewhat worn out, unfortunately), and like many fans I am worried about those albums not being made on CD. I see, however, that the band has not been forgotten. That is great news. Of course, a CD would be tops!One interesting piece of information: the local rock station here in Puerto Rico has played "What She Does To Me" a few times, which again proves The Producers live!!! Producer fans are welcome to E-mail me if desired, or you could also join in on the MSN web community called "Late 70's and Early 80's: The Best Music" at http://beta.communities.msn.com/Late70sEarly80sThebestmusic

My wife and I finally made it up to Atlanta from Jacksonville to see (and hear) The Producers. It's been many years since I've been able to hear my favorite band play live and I'm here to tell you... they have not lost a beat! Unfortunatly being the openning band of three they only played a short list of 8 songs starting with "Merry-Go-Round" and right into "What She Does To Me" second. I always thought that the little guitar solo thing in "What She Does To Me" should have been done twice on the original recording and I was blown away when it was done twice this time around... live! "What's he Got" was next and done to perfection. We were surrounded by people who frankly didn't know who the Producers were but were bouncing around in their seats as though listening to their favorite song! "Operation" was next followed by a brief announcement about the possibility of a CD. "I Love Lucy", "You Go Your Way" and "She Sheila" wound up the brief but VERY enjoyable show. I am very much looking forward to any upcomming smaller, more personal show... one that would include non-stop dancing from beginning to end, after all, you can't just sit and listen to these guys... you just can't do it! Oh yea, there were two other acts after our boys but for the life of me I can't remember who they were... :)

We saw The Producers at Lakewood Ampitheater this past Friday night. It really amazes me how these four gentlemen who only see each other when they show up to play, can be so tight as a band onstage. The energy is still there, the fun is still there and the talent is definitely still there. The reason the band only sees each other at shows is that they all live in different areas. It was brought to Bryans attention that they should get a show for New Years Eve, since that will be their 20th anniversary! It's hard to believe that 20 years have passed since the guys first got together. I know that negotiations are ongoing to get the Best of The Producers out on CD. It may have to turn into a 2 CD set, simply because there are so many great songs. I have obviously been a Producers fan since day 1 and will continue to be a Producers fan for as long as there is still a Producers band. Bryan and I have been friends for over 25 years, so I know what a hard worker he is. If anyone can negotiate the CD it is Bryan. I'd like to hear comments from other fans. Hello to Susan in Memphis. It's been a long time since I've seen you. John McDaniel

WOW! I just spent the last two hours reading all these posts. I would just be repeating words to state my emotions here. Paul, thank you for your talents. To the Producers, thank you for all the great music you've "produced", and I hope you continue to create for the rest of your lives.- Here's my addition to this wonderful exchange for people with smart taste in music. ha.1st time I saw the Producers was in 1982-San Antonio, TX, a club called "Rockys" with opening act "14-K" - a band I was familiar with from Austin. The Producers defined the word: "TIGHT", on that night. Much credit due to Bryan Holmes style of punchy, correct, and aggressive playing. I think his quirky facial movements actually inspired my drum playing, well... I know they did- I practiced to the Producers so much, one bandmate called me the human metronome, all credit to Bryan of course. ha. I've seen the band in Austin several times at the Steamboat. The other noteworthy trivia I might add here for readers is when I saw the band perform at Six Flags Amusement Park one summer. I can't remember the year- must have been '83. Anyway, I was in the crowd with my Producers t-shirt on and Van noticed me, told Kyle cause they both stared down at me from Van's mike position. I think they may have been wondering- "where'd he get that shirt?" Then later Kyle swung around from his amp, and not looking, walked right into the mic and busted his lip. OUCH! Like a trooper, bleeding on his shirt and instrument, he continued on without missing a note, or a line. You remember that Kyle? That was my new definition of professionalism. The show must go on. Bryan was playing a Simmons kit that gig, and I'm not sure if he knew it but the dynamics were way off. But I did wonder if the Simmons kit was inspired by Prince. In fact that he was wearing a Prince 1999 t-shirt. And... as wild as Wayne is on-stage, he has to be one of the most humble persons I've ever seen in receiving compliments. What a guy. What a Band! LONG LIVE THE PRODUCERS!!!!.. If not on the airwaves, then definitely in my stereos and on my steering wheels.

SAW THIS BAND IN EARLY 1980'S IN NEW YORK. I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THEY SEEMED TO HAVE FALLEN OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH CONSIDERING THAT THEY HAD 3 VIDEOS THAT RECEIVED A FAIR AMOUNT OF AIRPLAY ON MTV, WHEN MTV WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT OUTLET FOR NEW MUSIC.YOUR WEBSITE HAS SOLVED A LOT OF THAT MYSTERY, WITH THE STORY OF THE RECORD COMPANY FIASCO. SOUNDS A LOT LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO CYNDI LAUPER'S FIRST BAND, BLUE ANGEL. ANYWAY, ONE OF THE RECENT COMMENTS REFERENCES A NEW PRODUCERS CD BY CHRISTMAS. IS THIS TRUE? IF SO, WILL ANY OF THE SONGS FROM THE FIRST TWO ALBUMS BE INCLUDED? ALSO, DO THESE GUYS EVER PLAY OUTSIDE THE SOUTH ANYMORE? I LIVE IN THE BOSTON AREA AND I WOULD THINK THE BOSTON TO NEW YORK CORRIDOR WOULD PROVIDE A NUMBER OF APPEARANCE POSSIBILITIES. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THESE GUYS USED VERY CATCHY PHRASING IN THEIR LYRICS. EXAMPLES WERE THE USE OF "CERTAIN" IN CERTAIN KIND OF GIRL, AND "WHATS HE GOT" IN THE SONG OF THE SAME NAME. THIS KIND OF WIT NOT EASY TO FIND IN A POP BAND. WOULD LOVE TO SEE THESE GUYS AGAIN, SO KEEP ME POSTED.

Bryan beat me to the punch. Was just in Atlanta and saw the ad for the John Waite/Springfield/Producers show. Very exciting to hear about a "real" release. Bryan, sneak a song or two of unreleased stuff if possible. Do you have the rights to the orig. recordings or will you have to re-record them?...nice to hear from you on here. Hope you guys make it back to the triangle sometime soon...its been a long time.Randy O.

For those of you that read the outragous comments about Wayne and Alan Hunter at the 1981/82 MTV New Years Eve Ball...Please know that not one thing that was said was true! I'm disapointed that anyone would post such GARBAGE on our website. On the otherhand, please also know that we really love reading entries from our "real fans" that post great comments about how we have been a part of their lives in the past! We currently are in negotiations with investors to get out a "best of The Producers CD out by Christmas! Also, we will be performing at The Lakewood Coca-Cola Amphatheater on Sept 10th with Rick Springfield and John Waite! ROAD TRIP?

Standard Story!! I was in a band called "Man About Town" in the 80s in Springfield, MO and Doug P. of The Edge (now KingsX) turned me onto their debut album. I think I wore out 2 or three cassettes of it and their second album. I am a huge fan and have been waiting a long friggin time to get some of their music again. I would say they are up with my top 3 fave bands of all time. Thanks for the site, it rocks!!!

I am 31 years old and grew up in Baton Rouge. The first time I saw the producers, I was 15 years old. It was at an old club in Baton Rouge called Trinitys. It's now a healthclub on Perkins road. I saw the Producers there, the LSU union, the Baton Rouge State Fair and many other places from 1982 thru 1985 (trying to recollect). All in All, I saw the Producers 18 times in the B.R. area. I remember when Smith from Baton Rouge high joined the band, it was the talk amongst high school age kids and the college crowd. The Baton Rouge advocate had a big article on it. If I remember correctly, he wasnt too far removed from high school when he was asked to join the band. I saw the producers only once with him and that was at the Baton Rouge state fair. I believe that is the last time they played in the area. Anyways, I've got all three albums and I was going through my collection yesterday and It brought back many memories. It prompted me to do a search on the net and find this sight. What is the cost of hiring the band per night and what would it take for these guys to spend a week in Louisiana. They could play a few gigs in New Orleans, a show in Baton Rouge and then make their way to Grant Street dance hall here in Lafayette. By the way, the best time I ever had at a Producers concert was during my senior year in high school. The concert was on a school night (I believe a wednesday) and it was either the Fall of 84 or the Spring of 85 at the LSU union ballroom. We snuck in on fake I.D. and my friends and I were trashed.. Met a girl, had fun.....those were the days......COME ON GUYS. COME BACK TO SOUTH LOUISIANA (NOT JUST NEW ORLEANS).

Here at TBP Studios, the Producers are one of our all time favorite - we never get enough of this stuff. We had all three albums at their release, and taped them to cassette immediately, then shelved the vinyl. After nearly 20 years of continuous play, the tapes were dangerously worn, so we recently copied them via 24-bit digital to CD (Not for sale- for our personal listening pleasure). They get played nearly every day. It's rare to still get real pleasure from some music over such a period of time - 20 years later, this stuff still fires me up.Bill

Thanks Paul, for this great site, dedicated to one of the finest bands, ever! I, too play in a band that covers the Producers. We do "She Sheila" and "Operation". The band I'm in now does nothing but 80's pop songs (no hair bands!), and it's going over BIG TIME! Man, there was some GREAT music made back then! Anyway, here's hoping those first two albums get new life as CD's some day!Peace to you all!StevieD

Wow!!! Looks like I am not the only Producers fan out here. Been hooked since I first heard "What's He Got" on WRNO in New Orleans. Shortly thereafter, Uncle Sam decided I should go to Charleston, S.C. (U.S. Navy) Fortunately, our heroes played many shows there and they had quite the following. I too was at the College of Charleston show, when they encored in their underwear, doing "Shiela" for the second time that day. Shortly thereafter, my uncle decided again that I should move, this time back to Southern California. Of course I was happy, as this was where I grew up, but lo and behold, when I asked people about the Producers, they all went "who"???? So, I managed to turn a few of my friends on to them, one of which still has one of my vinyl copies of the first LP. Not one to sit still and have our heros go unnoticed, I made a trip over to KROQ (yes THE world famous KROQ 106.7 in Los Angeles) and actually talked to the afternoon jock and asked why they weren't playing this great music! Of course he gave me the standard answer, "It isn't on the playlist" along with a bunch of other garbage about research and demographics. I have dubbed these fine albums onto Mini-Disc so whenever I need a fix I crank them up. But, I need these on CD!!! Come on Sony, get hot!!!!

man, I have been entering the Producers in my search engines for 2 yrs., and just now found the site. This is GREAT!!! I saw the band in concert in a club here in Nashville back in the 80's. I love every song they have.I was in several local bands in the 80's that played severalof their tunes. Man, they never, ever got the respect they deserved!!!! I have the kyle henderson christian vinyl album mentioned elsewhere in the site. I'll double check the name later and post it. Has anybody every seen ANYTHING on cd at all. GREAT SITE

Did get to see them live, back when I lived in Wisconsin, Kenosha to be exact.We saw them at a club called "The Pirate's Den" in Racine, WI. (Now some other bar!) It's great to see this support for them! Thanks for the site!Keep it up! Oh, FYI, Tim Smith also played with "Jellyfish" near their end. Got to see them here in Mpls. another GREAT/fun band.Thanks!

Yet another person who was shocked to discover that she wasn't the only person in love with The Producers!!! I saw them play several times when I lived in Orlando (Brassy's in Cocoa Beach, The Peabody tennis courts, Fern Park Station, and at Univ. of Central Florida, my old campus). My favorite memories include Wayne wearing a "Happy New Year" hat which he threw to me after the show! (a souvenier I still have) At another show, I waited patiently to have Van, Wayne, Bryan, and Tim sign a cassette cover, which I still have and will always treasure! I also clearly remember one show where Van introduced a new song called "Right Man For The Job" (I still remember the melody and chorus!)that was going to be released on their "next" album..... Alas... it never came to pass, as we all know. So I am very excited to find this site and know that The Producers have not been forgotten by their fans! Someday, I hope to see them perform again; in the meantime, I will enjoy logging on to this site on a regular basis!!! All together now.... CD'S PUUULEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!

I've recently burned the first 3 lps onto CD so I can at least hear the old stuff more conveniently. I remember seeing the band just before the MCA album was to be released. They played a lot of stuff off of it and sounded awesome. Wish they would sneak a tape out to us fans. Anyway, hope van's writing career is going well.

I saw them dozens of times, both here in Texas and in S. Carolina. I have a retro-80s band now and want to include some producers stuff in my set, but I can't find the singles or LPs locally for What's He Got and Sheila. If anyone has ripped an mp3 of those, I would sure appreciate it if you could send it to me. Wayne Famous is God!

Wow, great site!!! I just got turned on to The Producers. I graduated in 1982, but was never exposed to them until recently. I friend of mine and I are getting into the MP3 scene, and he has their original album. He bought it for "What's he got?". He digitally recorded all the tracks from the album, and converted them to MP3's, and he gave me copies. I was blown away!!! I fell in love with their sound instantly. In fact as I'm typing this I'm listening to the whole album, and have been for over 3 hours straight. I immediately did a Net search on all the CD sites online, and was coming up with a big fat zero. The found your site. Glad to see there are so many others out there like me, that don't want to see this music fade away in time. This page will PERMANENTLY bookmarked. My friend and I are going to convert the original .wav files to CD so we can jam The producers in our CD players. I'll come up with a cover for it too. (I'm into the graphics scene too) Anyway thanks for a great site, and keep it going no matter what.Griz

My Brother turned me on to them in the early eighties. They're catchy tunes made me a fan quickly. I can remember a high school buddy of mine, who I had made a fan also, around 83 had fake ID'S made to see them at a bar in Nashville, I think it was called PUG'S, anyway we were so excited and got to the door and were turned away. So I contiuned to listen and in the spring of 86 I was a freshman at Alabama and we drove over to Mississippi St. where they opened for Jason and the Scorchers, They were great, it was at the time Run For Your Life was out. After that I transfered to Jacksonville State (AL) where I saw them numerous times at Brother's Bar, the last time around 89. Since then I have heard nothing until my brother, still a fan, found the web site. It would be nice if there were a listing of any upcoming dates so the fans in the South could make the road trip. Thanks for the site. Jeff

Just like everyone else on this list, I am a huge fan of The Producers.I gave up a long time ago on waiting for their albums to be released on compact disc.What I did instead, was to convert my own albums
