History
Calling themselves Da BoDeans, the original duo was Kurt Neumann (vocals & electric guitar) and Sam Llanas (vocals & acoustic guitar). In 1984 they teamed up with Guy Hoffman (drums). The trio quickly became a popular band on Milwaukee's East Side music scene. By the close of that year, Bob Griffin (bass), was brought into the group. In 1985 the quartet signed a contract with Slash/Warner Records and shortened their name to simply BoDeans. Under the guidance of producer T-Bone Burnett, they entered Hollywood's Sunset Sound Factory in October to record their first album. The critically acclaimed debut Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams was released in 1986. Kurt Neumann (5 April 1898, Nuremberg, Germany - 21 August 1958, Los Angeles) was a Hollywood film director who specialized in science fiction movies in his later career. ...
