Alan Parsons Interview - Alan Parsons Live Project - Live Photos

The Alan Parsons Project debuted in 1976 with Tales of Mystery and Imagination, an LP inspired by the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe. 1977's I Robot put the band on the map charting at number 9 in the US, spawning hits such as I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You, Breakdown and Don't Let It Show. Sirius, a track from 1982's Eye In The Sky LP is a fan favorite at several NBA arenas as the background music for NBA player introductions.

Alan Parsons discography alone puts him in the class of classic rock royalty... yet his talents do not begin and end there. His career in the music industry began as an engineer. At the age of 18 he began his career with EMI. He then earned a post at Abbey Road Studios where he worked with The Beatles as an assistant engineer. He subsequently worked with Paul McCartney as the engineer on McCartney, Wings Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway. Parsons also was involved as an engineer on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

Todd Park Mohr Interview
Rib America Festival
September 4, 2005

Todd Park Mohr, lead guitarist and vocalist, formed Big Head Todd and the Monsters with a couple of buddies almost twenty years ago. Todd Mohr, bassist Rob Squires, and drummer Brian Nevin have spent most of their adult lives together making music and touring the United States. Their debut album, Sister Sweetly, should have made them superstars but Todd didn’t want to go that route, he wanted his life and legacy to be about the music, and not burdening himself and the band with having to live up to early excessive commercial success. MusicPix had the opportunity to sit down with Todd backstage at the Rib America Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana, to talk about his choices, his band and his music. Read on:

"...there’s something about it…when artists become over-played….that kind of success doesn’t last long and bands are always trying to keep up with their initial success and it falls apart. Like I said, our fans believe in us more than any record label has and so they’ve been the ones who have determined the longevity of our career." -Todd Park Mohr
