I believe in the Beatles | Alex Carlin | TEDxKazimierzSalon

Описание: Alex Carlin talks about the genius of The Beatles, why their ideas and music still remain timeless, relevant and impactful, and expresses these ideas in his song "I believe in the Beatles" which he composed for our event. Alex Carlin was born in Chicago (USA). Alex was an original member of The Rubinoos, a band who charted in the US and the UK in the late 1970s. On the most famous American music television show before MTV, “American Bandstand,” the group sang Alex's song “Rock and Roll is Dead and We Don't Care”.

Alex played in the legendary American band Psycotic Pineapple, whose concerts included co-bills with the Dead Kennedys, Jonathan Richman and Roky Erickson.

Alex founded the Alien Beach Head group, which was invited to the USSR and in 1990 played a six-month tour in the Soviet Union: from Odessa and Kiev through the Urals and Siberia to Transbaikalia and back to Moscow and Leningrad. Soon after this stunning and super-successful tour, the Soviet Union collapsed.

In 2012, Alex created the “ALEX CARLIN BAND”. Today the band includes drummer Denis Matuizo (BY) and bassist Andrei Samoylov (RU). ALEX CARLIN SOLO or ALEX CARLIN BAND plays over 100 concerts a year in Russia and has performed many tours in Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. He also has played many shows in the USA, Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, Ireland, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Romania, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, UK, Ireland, Denmark, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Alex is also known for his duet with the legendary Steven Tyler - “Aerosmith”, and in June 2009, Alex Carlin was listed in the Guinness Book of Records for “The Longest Solo Concert” - 32 hours of uninterrupted classic rock and roll.
