Thank you for visiting the Producers site.

I have always been a HUGE fan and can't remember how many concerts I have seen. They played the Sportspage II bar in Shreveport, LA on a pretty regular basis - it was pretty much standing room only and of course when they played no one would sit down anyway! I have never yelled "Hey!" so much in my life (I went to every one)! I also attended their "final" concert in Baton Rouge (early 90's?) at the club that became the Gold Club strip bar not too long afterward. I have a zillion pictures of the concerts I have been to. Lots of them seem to involve Wayne with his arm in the air, hmmm... I can't say enough good about the band. They were always friendly and willing to spend time with fans (and pose for the millions of pictures that goes along with that), and I have never seen a group of guys have more fun playing together in a band. THE PRODUCERS RULE!!!!!

I have been a fan for many years and still love listening to their music. I used to have the original Producers cassette but it went bad from playing too much. I would love to get the CD "You Make the Heat." I would really love to see them again. What memories!! Thanks so much for your site.

Hey guys, I spoke to a few of the band members about something I had found buried in the vaults of the radio station where I work, I have not dropped the ball, I just had to wait until some new recording and playback gear is hooked up. So in case you wondered, thats whats going on. Best of luck in 06

Kyle played for a while with Derek St.Holmes of Ted Nugent and Big People fame. I haven't heard anything lately. If you are from the Atlanta scene back in the day, go to http://www.michaelmastro.com/. Great pics of Plaid Camel, Rick Richards, Riggs, The Producers, Baby & The Pacifiers. Michael Mastro and Rick Diamond were THE Band photographers of the day. Rick still takes photos and Michael owns his own graphic design company in Mobile.

I saw The Producers a couple of times at Ole Miss performances in 1981 (and 1982?) and immediately became a big fan of their unique music and style. I recall that during the 1981 concert Kyle was wearing a navy Izod shirt with the gator cut out - a kind of "heresy" at preppy Ole Miss, but very cool for that reason. I was living in Charleston, SC in 1991 when their 4th of July show was rained out, and moved from the area in early 1992 - thus missing the July 1992 show there! I hope to see y'all again in the future, and wish each of you the very best!

i finally...after 25 years...had my turntable belt give out. the one lp i cannot give up listening to is the producers--saw the band at illinois state university on a dorm parking lot and that was it. i cannot believe you can't get a cd anywhere! what's up with that? touring? i hope the boys can make it up this way! how about we all put up some $ and do a producers ipo, get the cd's available, get out from under the record/media monopoly, get on the road, get some exercise, see some sights, live love long, prosper, etc. ciader. jj

Wow...so nice to see so much love. Since the band is based in the south and I am stuck up north, I keep tabs on the guys on sites like this one. Like so many others, I have seen The Producers a number of times. My favorite was at Baby Blues in Fayetteville N.C. Nice small club and the band was ON. Funny thing is my buddy I was with loved the band too. We were both pretty much metal heads...Kiss, AC/DC..you know. In fact, Rusty is now the lead singer of Whisper Alley in Arizona. You can see them at www.whisperalley.net We both really appreciated the band and the time they took to talk with us after the show. I see flashes of the band on VH1's I love the 80's once in a while. Too bad they chose to slam Wayne and his Keytar. It was the thing at the time. I guess it is easy to look back and play Monday morning quarterback. NOTE TO THE BAND...GET BACK TO DETROIT!!! I would love to hook you up with a great band, AutoReverse. You haven't heard of them yet...BUT YOU WILL. They are already getting airplay on WRIF and 89-X in Detroit...check them out at www.autoreverse.cc I promise you will love them. Check out their new cd Countless Monsters. Listen to Spent or the song Home. Both should be on every radio station right now. Anyway, enough plugging my friends..lol. Producers...keep the music coming.

Is is just me, or did I just see Kyle Henderson as the host of an infomerical for some company called Star Trader Seminars? I could swear it was him. The have some website like getwealth.com, and he was the host of the infomercial, along with some lady. Anybody else seen this?

as a very young kid I was hooked on power pop/new wave stuff, pushed it on all of my friends at school who otherwise were more rock... and won out. My faves at the time... the Police, the dB's and The Producers. if you liked the Producers check out the dB's http://www.thedbsonline.net/ and thanks for this site.

There has yet to be a any other song that has the awesome prelude that "She Sheila" has. It remainsto be of my favorite songs to date. It incompassess and morphes into every dark place and illuminates its gravity with liquid light. O.k. maybe I crossed the line but I just wanted you to know that I think you guys ROCK and that I still find yer music contagious....and so it goes thanks

I use to play bass in a band called Radio Tokyo in the Mid 80's and we opened for them, I remember that they were really nice guys to talk to and they could really play! Here I am twenty years later and I just saw them play a show in Montgomery AL. on 10/22/05! They were just as good as I remember! I talked with Kyle and Van and they are still great guys! Van said they had a new agent and he might have some new material ready to record soon! Lets all keep our fingers crossed!

I loved watching The Producers at the Iron Horse in Thibodaux, Louisiana. They also played in New Orleans. My friend Caroline and I would travel to see them. It was great meeting them also. I loved the drummer. Does he still keep the beat with his mouth???

Just caught the band for the second time in three months. Why wasn't this band bigger? I spent the late 80s and all of the 90s looking for a copy of She Sheila which I thought was the most underrated song from the 1980s. I finally found a copy in 2000 and every time I hear it, I can't understand why it wasn't huge. Oh wait; I know why: not sugary enough and too complex for American consumption. I mean, gasp, something more than staight-four bass drum and I can actually hear the bass guitar. Anyway, great job guys.

The Producers are awesome! I recognized their talent back when they first hit MTV, bought their album, and recently dusted it off and made a tape of it to listen to in the car. I just love "I love Lucy" But she don't care! I can listen to that whole album from beginning to end. There aren't that many albums you can do that with. I just found out that this was released on CD and I am stoked! And to think that there is another album included is just icing on the cake. Nice site. I enjoyed looking through it, and seeing the clips. That was back when MTV actually stood for MUSIC Television.

i discovered the producers in 1981 when my band played at mr lucky's in denver. we pulled in on a sunday night and the band that was playing was playing some producers songs. i flipped out. i think they did "what she does to me" and "lucy". found out the producers had a huge following in denver. a year later i saw them live at the rainbow music hall. it was pouring rain outside and we were drenched when we finally got in. they had the a/c cranked up and we were freezing. but the minute the boys hit the stage, they heated the place up in no time. also caught them in 1984 in jackson hole. they were playing some college concert and we got to sit in on their soundcheck. anyways, i have always loved their music. it will always have a special place in my heart.

A couple of years ago I bought a Producers CD and have been searching in vain for another one. It was in the Virgin Record Store in NYC in the import section and contained their first record and You Make The Heat. Does anyone know how I can find another one? Virgin Records in NYC no longer has it. I also went on the Sony Music website and couldn't locate it. Thanks.

My sister brought home the first Producer's album after she had been raving about them and their live shows. She had seen them in Tallahassee, Fl several times. I was instantly hooked from the first time I listened to it. They are simply put, too cool. Awesome singers, great songs. I used to have cassettes of the the first 2 albums. I just ordered the CD with these two albums included from Metro City Records online for $24 (including shipping). Someone else said it on this guestbook and I could not agree more. You guys, Wayne, Bryan, Kyle and Van deserved so much more fame then you got. I literally loved every single song on the first 2 albums! I remember liking "Run For Your Life" too, but never owned it. I can't say that about hardly any other artist out there, period. I had the opportunity to see the Producer's in my hometown, Panama City twice in the early eighties, and last year or the year before at the Music Midtown Festival in downtown Atlanta, with Kyle no less!! You guys have definitely still got it. God bless you in whatever endeavors you pursue and thanks for the music.

I have seen The Producers approximately five times. I live in Fort Walton Beach and either saw them at NightTown in Destin or I would drive to Pensacola and see them. NightTown had an upstairs that kinda hung over the stage at the sides. I would always sit up there so I could look down and see Wayne jumping around and Bryan making faces as he whipped his drums. I really miss those days. I would give just about anything to see them again. Are they still touring by any chance? How about a reunion concert guys? There are so many fans in this area. How much would it cost? I have connections to the "The Swamp" which is "the place" here now for concerts. I WANT TO SEE THE PRODUCERS AGAIN! WaaaaaaaaaH!

I worked in a record store when this gem (the debut LP)came to the shelves. It had a strikingly appealing look, so I bought it. I played the bjesus out of that record until it skipped, scratched, popped, and got unbearable to listen to. I don't know. It just had such appeal. I am a songwriter and I tend to get critical of things. This just struck me as the "perfect" record. I turned so many people on to this album. They in turn went and purchased the record. I stumbled accross the videos several times on MTV. They had the look, the sound, but as far as I'm concerned....minimal audience. They deserved much more. I'm sure pretty much everyone saw "The Wonders" showcased in the movie "That Thing You Do". I have seen that movie several times and thought "The Producers should have had the part of the Wonders in this movie". Just awesome guys. Your albums to this day (especially the debut) hang with me through travel and at home. Sincerely, Marc Chauvette (Keyboards/Guitars "The Scintas Show" at The Rio... Las Vegas, NV

In reply to Dave Andersons question, Yes, The Producers have played in California - but that was a long time ago (in 1982 & 1984). They toured California with A Flock of Seaguls in 82 and I forget how it was in 84. They played in Reseda Ca at The Country Club (both times) a great club back then. I agree - it would be great to see them at the HOB in Anahiem. We can only hope that someone will front the $$$ to have them come out here and play. They were all really cool and friendly when I met them. Wrote to Wayne and he wrote a letter back! WOW! Kyle lived in the San Fernando Valley for a few years. Had a chance to meet him once but I couldn't make it. I was going to bring my bass and offer to pay for a few lessions on playing YMTH and The Producers - ahh old memories never die.

Hi Bryan, Wayne, and Van. I was the drummer for Homeward Angel, a band that used to hang out with y'all some in Panama City. Hugh Rodgers was our manager for awhile. In fact, I heard you guys on Hugh's Sony Walkman (they were the latest electronic gadget back then) before the rest of the country. Glad to see you guys are still rocking. You guys are tops! I'm all pretty much settled down but still playing music. Pat Buchanan is a big session guitarist in Nashville. Bill Farris handles Leean Rimes's road show, and Rick and Bob are still in Atlanta. If you read this, drop me a line. I remain a devoted fan. John

Oh yeah. The Producers are one of the biggest influences as a kid for myself. I personnally know Wayne Famous. He and my father Gary Stone played and toured with Billy Joe Royal. Gary Stone is the drummer for the popular kid brother's band. In New Orleans at a show when Bruan was on the road with Kansas. So my dad Gary did the tour. Im a drummer myself and used to play ALL the producer albums religiously. It didn't end. It was hard. Bryan is very good. He judged a drum solo that i did in middle school and he liked me. Although, I must say Kyle is the man. Paul McCartney would be proud. I can hear so much of Paul in his voice Kyle is awesome. I wish they toured more often i never got to see them. THE PRODUCERS----"I need an operation."

Stockbridge , GA USA - Friday, March 25, 2005 at 14:41:46

WOW, that,s all I can say. I can't believe this band is still together. I was just going through all my old cassette's and albums to get rid of them and there it was, YOU MAKE THE HEAT. I played this and the first album to death. I learned to play most of the songs on my guitar. I believe I first saw the PRODUCERS at THE STONE in San Francisco because my girlfriend of 5 years said her brother in law was in a cool band from Atlanta Ga. It turns out her brother in law is none other than Wayne Famous. I remember a band named Chrome Dinette opened and then The Producers were next and after their set, which was FANTASTIC, we were talking to Wayne and the other guys not even noticing the headliner. That happened to be Huey Lewis and the News. We proceeded to go party at somebodys house afterwards, and all the guys made us feel very welcome. I remember they just had a van for them, and all their stuff, so Wayne rode with us to the house so there was more room in the van for the guys, and to catch up with my girlf riend on his family out here.I can't believe I remember this much. Anyways, my albums were damaged and my cassettes are majorly dragging so if anyone can turn me on to where to get any cds of any of their music I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You Steve

Hey...I was thrilled to find this site. She Sheila is one of my favorites of all time. I saw the Producers live at the University of Alabama at Birmingham back in the early eighties. Fantastic. I'll keep an eye out for any dates around here in the future.

It's nice to know they were still around. I hung out with them and saw them at the Rainbow music hall in Denver in '83. Our drummer took lessons from Bryan (Gary - I wonder what he's up to these days). What a great band.

She Sheila IS my favorite song. A lot of memories happened while listening to that song. I played it in a few cover bands back in the early 80's. The Producers should have received more recognition and airplay.They are a GREAT BAND!!! I wish you guys continued luck !! Remember...You are NEVER too old to rock !! BTW....when are you coming to the New England Area? Wayne

I had a Producers tape 15 years ago in college that my then boyfriend gave me. It was lost several years ago in a move and I've been missing the music ever since.

My band once opened up for you guys in Fort Walton Beach but the name of the venue escapes me. It was on Santa Rosa Island but that's all I can remember, except that you guys were very encouraging to us and humble. It must have been around 1985. I'm an engineer now and haven't touched a bass in years... but thanks for the memories.

I just wanted to drop a note of appreciation and accolades to you guys! I have had the pleasure of listening to the Producers since the early '80s when I was a studio musician for Warner Brothers in Chicago and touring in the midwest with various acts. Today I'm the guitar player for a band called "It's a Beautiful Day". We had a little hit in the early '70s called "White Bird", among others, and continue to tour worldwide to this day. Any time I want to hear what a 'proper' 4 piece band should sound like, I pop in one of your CDs. To this day, you guys have been a musical inspiration to me on many levels and I want to wish you the very best in the future. Perhaps we'll cross paths one of these days as we're both on the artists' roster with Fantasma Productions out of Florida..... Cheers!!

Hello Producer fans! Just a quick note that Kyle is still playing (for the time being) @ Margaritaville at Universal in Orlando. I happened to see the Kyle Henderson Project on a Sunday night (12/19/04). That has been a pretty regular gig for quite some time, but it may not be in the very near future. Kyle was great! I went up and introduced myself, got him to sign his CD and Producers CDs. He was very friendly. Playing there, he sang all cover tunes only. He nailed the daylights out of "Tempted" in my opinion. Of course, I had to ask about future gigs and the hope they would play in Orlando. Without going into any details, he said they possibly could play in Orlando in 2005! But that it it not be at Margaritaville. Kyle said it would probably not be in January either. There has at least been some talk. So I have hope for 2005! Kyle also said the shows in DR had incredible response! I have never met the guy before. Sure, I have seen the band several times, years ago, but was a little scared about nagging him with questions. I just wanted to say that he went out of his way. He stopped and spoke to my wife and I between sets. The rest of his band was just as nice and talented. So Kyle, thanks. I know that you hear from Producer fans often and probably heard the same questions a zillion times. I really hope some shows happen in Florida in 2005.

Man, It's been a while since I've written an entry! Well now I'm 9 and I'v been listening to your cds every day! I missed it. I'm going to find out where and when are you playing. Well you may know me as your youngest Producer girl and your biggest fan!! My dad's name is Brian Homiston. Van borrowed my dad's marshall amp for a concert in Appleton- I think. I went to the Waverly Beach club concert. I saw sound check and a little of the concert. Can't wait to see another one of your concerts soon!! - Shelby Homiton

I recently purchased a copy of the MTV concert back in 1982. After watching it several times, it only makes me yearn even more to see The Producers once again live and in person. Haven't seen them since May, 30 2003, at Michael's Pub in Montgomery, Al. Hope 2005 brings on more activity for my all time favorite group.

You guys can't believe how stoked I am to find out that not only was there a 4th Producers album but that the band is back together!! No Freakin Way! My favorite pop band of all time! I've been searching the world for Producers material on CD or otherwise, for 20 years. Every record shop owner would stare blanky and say, "Who?", mind you most of them were 18 year old kids with metal piercings in their head. Every internet search would come up empty; I even bought the first two albums on the compilation CD from E-bay, which is the only search that came up with the Producers. Well I can say this, I'm one happy camper!! I just got Coelocanth and I love it! Amazing that Tim Smith was in the band for a period! I'm also a big fan of his work: Jellyfish, Umajets, Sheryl Crow, etc. I hope that you guys will be releasing some new material soon; we missed you Kyle! Any chance of playing a gig in the San Francisco Bay Area in the near future? I would die to see that. Thanks guys for all the great music and memories!! Love ya,Doug

Was listening to my old music and realized that I never bought a The Producers album. Well when I thought about how much I liked their music I went to a frantic hunt for CDs. As you all probably know, they're very hard to find. Well, I just ordered the 2001 (first two albums on a) CD and can't wait to hear all those songs again. I noticed that the band doesn't have any 2004 gigs. I really would like to see them again.

You can also tell them that I spoke with Tom Werman (their producer) over the weekend and he still thinks they were one of the best bands on the label. And of course, I agree!

I worked stage crew for The Producers twice in Tuscaloosa,Alabama in the late 80s. The first show was a doubleheaderwith The Neville Brothers (I think). I operated one of thecarbon-arc spotlights for that show. The second show was inone of the bars on the strip (I forget the name) just pastwhat used to be Solomon's Downstairs. I had a small stagelighting company at the time, and was contracted to lightthat show. Both shows were immensely enjoyable, as TheProducers is one of my favorite bands. If someone happensto have photos from either concert (especially the one atthe bar) I would *love* to get copies/scans. Thanks!

MY FRIENDS AND I LOVED THE PRODUCERS. PLAYED THE FIRST TWO ALBUMS NON STOP. THE VIDEOS WERE GREAT. MTV WAS GREAT IN THOSE DAYS. WENT TO SEE THEM IN 1983 ( I THINK) AT OBEDIAS ( I THINK) IN DAYTON OHIO. THEY SHOULD COME TO MY NEW HOMETOWN IN FT MYERS FL. WE HAVE A GREAT CLUB CALLED CLUB NEPTUNES. EVERYONE FROM CHEAPTRICK TO WILLIE NELSON HAS PLAYED THERE. I'M SURE THEY'D GET A GREAT CROWD, AND I'D LOVE TO SEE THEM AGAIN.

Jeez, it's been a long time. Why was I writing in caps? I was 12 when I last wrote an entry. I'm 16 now, just wanted to let you guys know that Kyle, (my father) is now playing at Margaritaville (sheesh hope I spelled that right) in Universal Studios Florida and at a club called Black Fin also in Orlando. With cover bands usually under the name "The Kyle Henderson Project". Also, I am now a big time guitarist and vocalist. (puberty is at this time destroying my vocal chords), and I am in a few bands. I'm always the leader, but the one that is significant at this point is called "Mirage". I don't have a site on them yet, but if I do start one up I'll keep the board informed. The tunes are a mix of rocknroll, jazz funk, blues, and power riffs. I'm starting to worry we'll end up like whiteface. ((so dynamic in sound no one could recognize the band)). I recently visited Atlanta with dad to view the first producers show that I had seen in over 5 years. It was hip, sometimes I wonder why we moved down here. If anyone has any questions on info with the Producers or dad's gigs, feel free to email me. Laugh hysterically at every sagging below the ass pantsed male moron that you see,

Finally I found a site about The Producers! I saw them live in Atlanta at Lakewood in 1999 and then at Chastain I think in 2000. Both times they opened for Rick Springfield. I did know they would be at Lakewood but didnt know about them being at Chastain. Now Rick has another show at Chastain May 14 and Im trying to find out if they will open for him again. If so I will go just for them. Do tour dates list them if they are an opening act or only if they are the headliner? Anyone know? Hoping to see and hear them again SOON!

The Producers were one of my favorite "MTV" Bands. I was lucky to have seen them from the front row at Toad's Place in New Haven just a few weeks after She Sheila (82?) came out. The band was really clean and tight and the arrangements were all very clever. That concert remains one of my all time favorites over many of the big name acts. The musicianship of every member of the group is really strong with Brian�s drumming being world class and Van�s guitar voicing making the songs so catchy. I have both records and the CD. This band was amongst the greatest of pop rockers.

We would love to hear from any others.It's great to see their videos and live stuff again. I've only seen them once or twice on VH1 classic ( they actually played a "2 for Tue." of "She Sheila" and "What's he got").I will be requesting "Certain kinda girl" so you guys can get it.I just heard that they are playing a bunch of shows in NYC (St.James theater) starting tonight 2/27/04--can't wait to see them live for the first time.Rich D.

When I was 18 and living in a small town in northern Alabama we were among the first in the country to get MTV. The Producers were in pretty regular but not heavy rotation and I remember two videos: "What's He Got" and "Diana." I heard that they were going to be at a club in Huntsville called Cactus Jack's. I had the opportunity to go there or to Nashville the same night to see a band I'd never heard but had heard about called "The Stray Cats." I opted for The Producers and have never regretted it. I snuck in on a fake ID and met the guys even before the show. I became friends with the opening act, a band called "Radioberlin." I later moved to Nashville to go to college and whenever the Producers came anywhere near here I went to see them. I've seen them at a place called "Ziggy's" which is no longer there, "Mainstreet" in Murfreesboro, TN and the legendary "Exit/In" in Nashville. I even saw them in a large venue at UAH (University of Alabama in Huntsville.) I wish I could remember the dates for you but I can't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday.I enjoyed the site and want to thank you for the memories.

I cannot believe this site has been around and I have not found it!! I am a die-hard fan and have had the pleasure of seeing The Producers perform in Tallahassee, FL several times while attending college at FSU in '81-'83. I have never tired of their sound and am excited to read here that another album/CD was released in 2001!! Marty Sims is a fellow high school classmate of mine and it doesn't really surprise me that he supplied some of the content on this website. We loved this band. My kids (16 and 11) love their music, too! Thank you, Marty!!!! I would be really excited to see The Producers get booked for Huntsville's "Big Spring Jam." How about it, guys?!?!?

I haven't visited this guestbook in a while, looks like I have missed a few things. I made the trip to the last Atlanta show. Bert, you should have made the short trip. My girlfriend and I traveled 350 miles from FL and it took us forever to find the club. I wore my Producers t-shirt and they let me right in. I was next to the "stage" for the entire show with Kyle's son to my right and Kevin, who does Wayne's web site, to my left. Other than the birthday boy bashing Bryan's drums, it was a good show. I got all the guys to sign my Producers scrapbook. Bryan enjoyed the pics of his old drum sets. Wayne spent some time talking with be before the show. It was well worth the trip. I'm looking forward to seeing The Producers in 2004. TheProducersRock!!!

We were at Comstock 2003 & were the only ones @ the stage!!! Where were the rest of you? What a show!!! There were five of us and a few we up to the stage but we got all the free stuff! The conversations with the band were great and they were surprised @ the RFYL shirt that one of us was wearing form the original concert! Too bad for the rest of you!!!!!

I just wanted to say that's it's a shame that all this had to come out. The truth is that this stuff probaly happens all the time anyway. Not with just "The Producers" but with all bands. I know from my own experinces that being in a band with 3 other people is like being married to the other 3. You have your differences fromm time to time but the outcome of everyones input is what makes up a band. These guys (Van,Wayne,Bryan & Kyle) have such mucical chemistry together that can only come from each of their indepent ideas. They might not always agree but that's when the 4 of them get together & talk and make a decision about direction. As long as they still have the same goals, there ways of reaching them should be left for them disscuss in private. As a "HUGE" fan of "The Producers" I hope they contunie to work together & start doing some gigs real soon. esp. in New Orleans. Your fan always Mark

This is like 4ht grade! Dear Band, Do you like me? Please check yes or no. I like you if you like me.Pick up the phone, call each other, call each other names and get back together or break up. In the mean time, would somebody please start booking the band somewhere, anywhere, so it can get going again. Costa Rico or Carbondale, open for ELVIS or open for MC Hammer. Play a staduim, or play a state fair!

Bryan, you are right. This discussion does not belong in a public forum. I was simply giving an honest answer (and you know that is exactly what it is) to Kerry's question. I apologize to you, Van, and Wayne because I like you guys. You must admit, however, that every word of what I have written is the truth. You must also admit that I have privately vented to you several times in the past, you personally have verbally given me your support in the past year and a half and not followed through on your commitments, your usual pattern for returning e-mail or phone calls is to get around to it five days later, and the band's promise to pay me commissions is apparently not worth anything. You have my toll-free number and my e-mail address. After my last e-mail to you and your initial response, you couldn't even pick up the phone to discuss the details of a possible December show in Costa Rica, so I let it drop. I wouldn't have been paid for it anyway, so there wasn't much reason for me to pursue you to dis cuss it.The only reasons why this is posted here are because your loyal fans really want to know what is going on, and because you guys as a band don't have your act together enough to run things as a business. You'll have to admit that things worked pretty well when I was actively booking the band- you worked good gigs for major promoters, deposits were paid, rider requirements were met, routing was good, you got paid what the contract said, promotion was handled properly, you got airplay where possible, etc. How have things been for the past year or so? How was Carbondale? Nebraska? Iowa? Again, I apologize to you but I'd appreciate a public apology from you as well. After I see it, I'd agree that Paul should erase all posts related to these issues. You guys are a great band and are genuinely nice people, and that's what the fans need to know.

I will have Paul erase these discussions if they continue. Our business is NOT for public consumption and I resent yor doing so. Our fans need positive things to discuss, not arguments with people we've done business with. I have email you know and a phone. You can vent to me personally but keep our loyal fans out of the discussion. This is supposed to be fun!

Hopefully, this is just a bump in the road - keep the faith! As always, thanks Paul for keeping this site going. It is appreciated even if things look a little bleak at the moment.

It's come to this? We saw this kind of crazy crap on the "old" Kyle homepage guestbook. I am a large fan of the band, and I sure want to know what is happening with the band. This is the kind of stuff that makes everyone in the band look like jerks even if they are not involved. Leave this crap off the fan pages. Let the men in the band make a statement or cut it. I don't have any personal relationships with anyone in the band. I just want to see the band and hear the music! Screw the rest of it! Paul, thanks for letting us vent!

Frank, you are right. The band knows the story, but I am not sure that you do. You've been duped and taken advantage of by Kyle. Why don't you get the straight story from Bryan or Van? I am sure that they appreciate your good intentions and the hard work that you and Bill have done for the band. I appreciate it, too, and I respect you even though your misguided enthusiasm and your lack of understanding of contracts, ethics, longstanding personal and professional relationships, and the workings of the music industry in general have done more to harm the band in the past year than to help them. It's not your fault, it's the band's. It's a shame, because at least three of the guys are genuinely decent people, and they're still a great band.

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie ---You are just too much !If I didn't know you, I would say you've got some big kahonees ! But, alas........Hey Chuck, did you see the venues that these guys played at last year ? And with the acts ? Main Stage shows with big name bands at big-time Festivals !No offense, but what Wil-son's Promotions did for the band last year, you could have done in the past. But you didn't ! It's called drive, ambition, perseverance.You, on the other hand, did more than your fair share of jamming this band up over the past year. And we know where, don't we ????The guys know the story -- unfortunately, their fans never will.Take heart, Producers fans..........The band is still alive ! Unfortunately, finding ideal venues for this time of the year is tough. However, Wil-son's Promotions is working many leads for next year, as is the band's other promotional company !!See you in 2004 !

I never said that, Mark. I just think that they have some issues that need to be resolved, and they haven't been making much progress, as I see it. They could have been working a lot more in the past year and a half if they straightened things out. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a fan and I like the guys, but they need to run things like a business. Ordinarily, I wouldn't even think of posting this kind of stuff on a public message board, but maybe the guys will realize that they're missing a lot of opportunities, as well as disappointing their fans by not being out there doing shows. I'd still help them if I could be confident that they would handle things in the way that they should be done. Unfortunately, right now that's not the case.

Kerry, if they paid me for previous gigs going back over the past year, I might be interested in getting them some work. It's a shame that such a great band has screwed up their business so much, and that Van, Bryan, and Wayne haven't had the guts to stand up to Kyle. Kyle has ruined what was starting to be a good thing for these guys. It was fun for a while.

Hear The Producers on the radio!! I understand from a reilable source that Sheila is in rotation on the XM 80's station. (You know, XM, the $10/month satellite subscription radio service.) My boss, the reliable source) says if you are a listener, you can call in requests and they will actually play them! There are only about a million subscribers now and those listeners are spread across 100 stations, so you will be one among a small few listeners on any one station. -ps

Cool beans. For years it felt like I was the only one out there. Saw these guys up in Ocean City, Maryland in'84. Can't remember the name of the little venue, but I don't think it had a roof afterwards. THEY made the heat! Those first two albums I just simply wore out. I've turned countless friends onto these cats, who simply end up stunned. Tom Werman did a fantastic job polishing the gems on the 1st two albums. Melodious, chrome-plated,hook-ridden power-pop. Sheets of fat guitars, rhythm section always in the groove pocket, shimmering keyboards. Flawless vocals & harmonizing. What's not to love? Perfect for a sunny, summer drive with the top down. Favorites would have to be Certain Kinda Girl, Back to Basics, She Sheila (Brian, you just kick ass),Operation & Who Do You Think You Are & of course, What's He Got. Ya know, if you threw The Outfield (they'd be unthinkable without the Producers), Cheap Trick & The Ravyns ("Raised on Radio" from Fast Times at Ridgemont High guys--Baltimore band) in a blender, this is what it would sound like. I miss 'em. What's He Got, Certain Kinda Girl & She Sheila deserve a rightful place in the pop chart pantheon. They only thing that stood in the way? Not enough airplay. Shameful is the only way to describe it. Not liking these effortlessly infectious confections is as perverse as not liking the sun. Now, where the hell can I get my hands on the videos for What's He Got?, Certain Kinda Girl, She Sheila & any others I may have missed? Great job on the website amigo. These guys are timeless.

Saw the Producers MANY times in '81 and '82...probably ten shows in all. The BEST was at Six Flags...Wayne Famous literally spinning in circles with his keyboard during Merry-Go-Round...GREAT STUFF. This music is remarkable in that it is such great Power Pop. Some of the best Pop music I have ever heard. Even more amazing is the fact that the band members are such accomplished musicians. My life is a little bit better because the Producers are in the world.

It was a great show at Esposito's. I took my 16 year old niece to meet the band and get her LPs and CD signed. The stage was so small that Wayne had to set-up behind Van. We stood right in front of Van (Private Guitar Lessons!!). They played 2 sets with some surprises. Kyle sang "Mustang Sally" and it was great. From the stage, Kyle said he would look at me if he forgot the words to "Back To Basics" and sure enough he did, then looked at me and I also had a momentary lapse of lyrics. When I told my wife Sheila about it later, she said: "And you call yourself a Producers fan". Oh well. Sorry everyone couldn't be with us. My 16 year old niece told me after the show that it was the best show she had ever seen. The Producers were better than anyone out there making music now. I told her that these men in their early 50's (late 40's Kyle) are better than anyone. That's why I have been a fan since 1981. I am proud to say it and proud to say that I have become friendly with each of them and they are all really gr eat and always nice to their fans. Hope to see you soon.

Nice work, Paul. I first listened to the producers way back 1981 (11 years old!!), and my older brother took me to the second of their two concerts in my country in 1982 (the first one in 1981). They HUGE here and they are very fondly remembered by pepole from my generation. I used to own their first two LP's but lost them in a fire at the reord store where I used to work in the late eighties. I knew about the 3rd album but i never actually got to see it here and i was blown away upon learning about the 4th album being released on CD. By the way, I just ordered today the One Way Records release of producers/you make the heat CD on Amazon. Next in line, Coelocanth. And if you happen to know the they are releasing the run for your life CD, please let me know. Thanks for the memories.Eduardo

Hey Producers!!!! After years of searching for "You Make The Heat" on CD, I found it! And your website. Breakaway is a perfectly written song, and has always been one of my favorite rock songs of all time. Perfect melody, harmony structure, instrumentation and one of the most interesting drum lines ever. (Good job on the crown Bryan) I'm a working musician in Northeast Ohio and it seems that although you didn't have huge commercial success up here, most musicians listened to you guys. I guess we'd consider you a "musicians band." I played in a pop rock band a few years ago, mostly 80's stuff, Police, Pretenders etc... and we covered Breakaway, What's He Got, She Sheila, You Make The Heat and Slow Dancin.' We'd joke that we were a Producers Tribute. Great to see you still jammin and I am looking forward seeing you live if you come up north and to hearing your last cd. I couldn't find your material in any of the local stores and thought it ended with "Run." Glad you're still around. Peace, Love & Musi c, Joe HengesbaughMy Band: www.nightwalkers.com

My first Producer show was a free parking lot concert Sept 1981(2?) at Illinois State University. I was blown away! Several members of Survivor were in the audience next to me. They loved it too! The band was so tight, the entire show rocked! Wayne was a HAM! I spent the rest of my years at school converting most of my friends to fans. I still have the [original] "You Make the Heat" album cover with the 'girl in the window'. They later released the album SANS girl. (I have that one as well). IMO MTV blew it only showing Sheila every so often. My second, and last time seeing the band - - Eastern Illinois University 1985. Good show. Could tell the audience(myself included) liked the first 2 albums (and Kyle) better. The encore of "Hard Days Night" was fitting. I still listen to the double CD to this day while skating at the beach. Great motivational music to work out too. Cool to hear the progression of writing/playing all on (1) disc. I highly recommend it!

Just wanted to add my two cents. I first heard the band when they debuted on Mtv with "What's He Got?". I was awestruck. There have been many bands that never quite got their just rewards due to record company shenanigans and unfortunate business deals, but none (in my mind) quite as talented as the Producers. It's been my experience that as their catalog faded from the shelves, it was fellow musician's, like myself, who continued to sing the praises of the band. Not just because of the great songwriting, but because everyone in the band is such an incredible player/singer . They've never gotten the accolades that they deserve, except among the musician's community. Myself, and many of my musician friends, were never so excited as we were when we discovered the cd reissues. Here's hoping for more. I've never had the good fortune to see the Producers live. I've been playing guitar for the band Berlin for almost seven years now. We play multiple bills with other "80's" bands all the time, but to my frustration we still have not hooked up with the Producers (yet). I very much appreciate this website. Keep up the honorable work, Paul. sincerely, Dallan Baumgarten Berlin P.S.(My favorite song from Coelacanth is the new "Slow Dancing".)

Just went and saw them open up for River-Cade Festival in Ia. They started at 4:00 pm on a Friday and I think 50 people were there in lawn chairs. By the end of the night it was a real decent crowd. They played "everything" and a "Kyle Henderson" song. Musically they were Fanstastic and Kyle Henderson's vocals were great, but Van Temple's voice was absolute toast. They played one show the night before in Wisconsin so who knows but Van's singing cut out all through the show. Overall, if they can get his voice back they sound really really good. Fantastic set list. You name it they played it. I liked merry-go-round the best. You could tell they were bummed out by the crowd but I think they understood playing a 4pm on a Friday was "what do you expect." 4th time I have seen this band. Van Temple w as great on guitar. Now, I could talk all night how awesome BLUE OYSTER CULT played! WOW!

The comments that Bill Spruell from Bowden, Ga. made in an earlier e-mail about the band could not have been said better. You hear some of the junk they play on the airwaves today, and wonder how it gets on the radio. Let's don't give up on The Producers yet. I have a feeling that there are more positive things that are going to happen before they are finished.

The Producers were outrageously popular in Tallahassee, where they always played to a packed house. When I first arrived at Florida State University in the early '80's, I thought they were a home-grown product. Nevertheless, I can't think back to those days without a couple of their songs running through my head.

I am the youngest Producer Girl and love all of their songs. I am 8 and saww them at Waverly and Depere and Van borrowed my dads Marshall. Kyle's song about children is my favorite because alot of kids feel better after hearing it.

I first heard their terrific power-pop around '81 or '82...as they got a fair amount of airplay on commercial radio in Atlanta back then. The one time I saw them live was in Athens, Georgia back around '86 or '87. They definitely were able to deliver the goods not only on record, but in a live setting too. BTW, I just found out today (6-28-03) that *Coelacanth* was finally available and I immediately went to (plug) Barnes and Noble and bought it. I can't wait to hear it!I agree with so many others that The Producers deserved so much more in the way of succ ess than they ever got. Bad luck, bad timing and other things just conspired against them, unfortunately. Bad pop music is so easy to make, and so ubiquitous...but the diamond-hard, razor-sharp pop perfection of The Producers is a *very* rare and precious thing indeed.Thank you so much for establishing and maintaining this great web site to commemorate one of the best power-pop bands ever!

I first saw The Producers at Mississippi State University in Starkville MS in 1980. I still have a logo guitar pick from Kyle and the black and yellow button! I later played in a band around Mississippi called Intensity - we played "What's He Got" and "What She Does to Me". Wow I miss those days!

I lost my cassette tapes of your albums years ago and have never been able to replace them or get your songs out of my head. So when I stumbled onto this website recently it was like finding an old best friend! Glad to see there are others that remember and appreciate how great this band was and is today. The energy in your music and lyrics just never dies! It's incredible to me how many people never heard of The Producers and have no idea what they've missed out on. You guys are rare indeed and 1st on my list. Keep on Rockin'!!(P.S. What's the best way to order your CD's??)

WOW! I thought I was dreaming when I FINALLY thought to try and dig up Producers music, and I came across this site! I have been a fan over 20 years, saw them play live 8 times! Most were in Youngstown, Ohio, where I'm from originally, but twice (OK, 2 days in a row!) were in Daytona Beach Spring Break '83! I have some GREAT photo remembrances of those spring concerts, 2 rolls worth! One of my prized possessions that has made the transition out of the 80's along with hubby and young son to NC is my autographed LP of the first album! Still have it in my treasure chest! Wouldn't dream of letting that go! Oh, the memories of youth...with 40 now appro aching me in a few weeks, it makes all the memories come back. :) Thanks for such a great site! And by the way, all my family is still in Ohio, both brothers live in Columbus!Kathy D.

These spam posts are ridiculous. Let's get back to the music. I have the double cd in my car cd changer, and keep going back to it. My fave's right now are What's He Got, You Go Your Way, and Operation. The kids like to sing Breakaway (especially the part where they can yell "Breakaway!) Their music is timeless, and fits into just about any setting. I was at a reunion of sorts with some high school friends a couple of weekends ago and slid in the cd, and we jammed through both albums. Awesome! Thanks to the band for continuing to play, and I hope to see you guys soon in Atlanta.David

One sunny afternoon in the spring of 1984, I was upstairs at the TKE house at the University of Alabama hanging out, shooting pool. Someone downstairs popped in a cassette tape and cranked it up so we could hear it...the first song I heard was "Operation" from the YMTH LP. I loved it. After listening to a couple more tunes, I went downstairs to see who it was, and then immediately went and purchased YMTH. Within a week, I owned the debut LP as well. I was really excited to find out that these guys would be in town for a concert later that year (fall of 84 at Foster Auditorium at U of A) and loved their live show. I had basically worn the two cassettes out and started looking for the cd versions when the cassette-to-cd transition "thing" started. I thought these guys had fallen off the edge of the earth. I absolutely could not find any cd's anywhere and was heartbroken. NOW, I find this site and am cranked all over again. These guys are awesome and I can't wait to get the cd versions.

I have had several people ask me about my Producers DVD so here is the story. Last year I purchased a DVD of The Producers Live at the Agora Ballroom in Atlanta Georgia, New Years Eve 1981. Besides the really great show (including Kyle's never released song "Hollywood"), it has a 5 minute opening of each of the band members getting hit in the face with a pie (or in Wayne's case --- many pies). I think this was to be shown at Midnight. Plus, the 3 videos (What's He Got, Certain Kinda Girl, She Sheila) direct from a 1 inch Promo field cassette. It cost some $$$, but being a fan since January 1981, was well worth it. I purchased this incredible DVD from a man who was the house video guy at the Agora back in 1981. Here is the contact info of the guy I purchased my DVD from: Carl Marxer of Video Production Services, 770-458-0987. I spoke to him today to confirm he still has the Ne w Years Eve show from 12/31/81 and the 3 videos. He told me that each of the band could get one free. By the way, I purchased tickets to this show back in 1981, was sick and could not go. If you want to see a scan of my ticket, go to www.theproducers.org/gallery2.htm. Everything in this gallery is from me.

Stace England here in Carbondale, Illinois. I played wit h the Implications opening for The Producers at their Carbondale show and I just wanted to second what they posted below. I had not seen The Producers live before and would have described myself as a casual fan, until now. Frankly I was stunned at how good they sounded - no one would ever be aware that they all live in different parts of the country and don't play together frequently with that kind of performance. But the really amazing thing to me was the vocal chops were still right on - it sounded like a bunch of 20 year olds, only better because there was more maturity in the voices. It's a shame they do not play more often because the chemistry is clearly still there. I, too, encourage all Producers fans to drive, get on a plane, whatever to get to their May shows in Wisconsin. Make a vacation or long weekend out of it; it�s beautiful up there. And I also encourage all Producers fans to buy Kyle Henderson�s solo disk, Songs In The Key of Love, because you will not hear more soulful, expressive sin ging anywhere this year (http://www.kylehenderson.com/songscd.htm). I thank the band for coming to our town, and to their management for making it happen.

What a weekend! We opened up for The Producers this weekend and it was fantastic. You all MUST get out and see these guys! Do they still have it? YES! We hadn't seen them since the mid-eighties and they just blew us away. The vocals....still there and better than ever! The chops....still there and better than ever! The songs...still kicking ass! Do yourself a favor and catch these guys live, it is completely worth the travel/trouble/expense...whatever...SEE THEM! We thank the guys in the band for one of the greatest shows and musical experiences we've had. They are one of the best things to happen to American music....period .

I continue to grind your CD inot the ground every day and make as many people aware of the band as possible. Most recent convert, my wife, former lover of anything 50's. Keep it up and come back to the Central PA area soon!

The first time I really heard this band was on MTV in '82. (Back when MTV was about MUSIC) The video was for She Sheila and I was immediately stoked on this band. That song is still today my favorite Producers song. Other faves are I Lov e Lucy and Dear John. I read an interview with Kyle (awesome bass player!)and he said he didn't like YMTH very much. I love it and I feel it's better than the first one IMHO. I was glad to see the first 2 LPs on a CD and picked it up right away. My old vinyl copies are pretty worked from being played so much back in the day.

Back to Basics.I think how many times that song was a staple in my songbook when I went through that phase in my life. It still is a powerful catharsis. especially as I get older and a back to basics philosophy is more necessary. And harder to achieve.

I had the pleasure of catching the guys at the Royal Oak Music Theater (Metro Detroit) as a warm up for Squeeze. What energy!!! I had always heard that the band had never officially split up. I have been trying to replace my albums with CD's, but with the way they keep inventory at music stores it is almost impossible. Now I know where I can find "The Producers" discs. My father is 67 and is a big fan. By the way, he has Wayne's autograph. Will you ever tour Florida?

Kyle, I'm there to get your cd as soon as your site goes up. Bert, what a great link to the interview with Tom Werman! Loved his comments about the Producers and he's right...Heaven Tonight by Cheap Trick is an AWESOME album, one he should be very proud of. I'd love to get my hands on one of his "hits and misses" cds!! Guys, I'm still working on trying to get you a gig out this way. Happy New Year to everybody!

Hey everybody. It's Kyle. My site will be up and running during the first week of January. And I have a new CD of all origin al material. It's called "Songs in the Key of Love," and I'm wayyyy excited about it. It will be available through my site when it launches -- or soon thereafter -- as well as through cdstreet.com, cdbaby.com, amazon.com, etc. If I don't have all the relationships solidified when the site launches, at the very least you'll be able to sample some mp3's. Anybody interested?Kyle.

Finally got Producers/YMTH on CD! As usual One Way did a good job remastering. A great wrong has been righted. One of the major hurdles overcame in the "Getting Vinyl onto CD" wars. Not o many to go now!

Last nights show at Smith's rocked!!! It was great to see that the band seemed to be having as much fun as the rest of us. Those guy's are still the best at what they do. Van, I didn't know what killer blues you could play!! The whole band gave us a great night to remember. Thanks!!

We really enjoyed the concert last night at SOB. It was great seeing The Producers together and playing again. It brought back a lot of memories. In response to Rob from Arizona, yes, my brother saw the same piece that you mentioned on VH1. Was Van o.k? He just didn't seem to be himself.
