BANANA BOY BIO
Today we speak with Shaun Gardener and Tim Rosewarne aka \'Banana Boy\'
Q - Why the name \'Banana Boy\'?
A - Originally we were going to call it \'TWO BLOKES IN THE THROES OF MIDDLE AGED CRISIS PLUS A YOUNG STUNNER WHO SINGS LIKE ARETHA FRANKLIN HAVING A GO AT DANCE MUSIC\'................. but on reflection, it sounded a bit drawn out, and also we don\'t happen to have a young stunner who sings like Aretha Franklin, but we are looking for one to be on our next CD,and that\'s going to be our thing I guess, to change the sound around from project to project.....
Q - I see, but why did you end up calling it \'Banana Boy\'?
A - .....because if there\'s no development then we\'ll get bored, and the whole idea was for us to have a bit of fun....
Q - Great, but why \'Banana Boy\'?
A - ......well not just fun, I mean we\'re pretty serious about moving into full time song writing, and all the songs we record,we`d also like to pitch at publishers, managers and other artists if anyone else wants to have a go at them....
Q - Yes, but could you just answer my question?
A -..... I mean let\'s face it, we\'re not going to be playing in cover bands for the rest of our lives are we,Shauns been at it for years and I know he\'s had a gutful, he used to be in that great original band LA FEMME you know....
Q - That still doesn\'t tell me WHY BANANA BOY?!!
A - .....and he\'s released heaps of CDs of his original songs with other people, whereas my experience of original releases has come from bands like BIG PIG and CHOCOLATE STARFISH, and in both cases, there was a surplus of writers, so it was a struggle to get any songs on those records...
Q - Well I\'m thrilled, now will you just answer the %*#&!@ QUESTION?!
A - .....but in this case the two of us seem to complement each others talents, and I suppose our time together in the cover band \'2120\' has opened our ears to many different styles of music.....
Q - WHY THE #%*& ARE YOU $&%**$ CALLED BANANA $*%(%$& BOY?!!!!
A - oh, no reason really............ make something up if you like

A great album I recommend for your cd player.
author: un aller simple
I bought this cd after I'd heard Shaun Gardener's work with another band, and I'm glad I did - it's a great album that I should have got round to reviewing sooner. Fantastic music and one of those annoyingly good cds that you can't get out of your head after every listen. For me the highlight is the last track, just kiss me, a song I never tire of listening too. The song writing and lyrics are fantastic, and if you like the samples you can listen to here then I strongly recommend adding it to your cd collection. If you don't, buy it for just kiss me anyway!

p.s - I also found out why they choose the name Banana Boy, ;) hehe
