Big Star is an American rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1971 by Alex Chilton, Chris Bell, Jody Stephens, and Andy Hummel.
The group disbanded in early 1975, and reorganized with a new row 18 years later after a reunion concert at the University of Missouri. In the first era, the band's musical style attracted the vocal harmonies of The Beatles, as well as the mesmerizing rhythms of the Rolling Stones and jangling guitars of Byrds. To generate pop power, Big Star added a dark, existential theme, and produced a style that marked alternative rocks in the 1980s and 1990s.
Before it broke up, Big Star created a "seminal work body that never stopped inspiring the next generation" in the words of Rolling Stone, as the "classic American pop band of power" and "one of the most mythical and mythical cult acts influential in all rock & roll ".
Big Star's first album - 1972's # 1 Record - was filled with enthusiastic reviews, but ineffective marketing by Stax Records and limited distribution hindered its commercial success. Frustration took its toll on the band's relationship: Bell went shortly after the first commercial recording progress stalled, and Hummel left to complete his college education after the second album, Radio City, finished in December 1973. Like # 1 Record , Radio City received excellent reviews, but label issues again thwarted sales - Columbia Records, which has taken over the Stax catalog control, also effectively vetoed its distribution. After the third album, recorded in the fall of 1974, was deemed not commercially viable and saved before receiving the title, the band broke up in late 1974. Four years later, the first two Big Star LPs were released together in the UK as a double. album. The band's third album was finally published shortly thereafter; titled Third/Sister Lover , it found limited commercial success. Shortly after, Chris Bell died in a car accident at the age of 27 years.
Big Star discography attracted new attention in 1980 when R.E.M. and Replacements, as well as other popular bands, call the group an influence. In 1992, interest was further stimulated by Rykodisc's release of band albums, complemented by a collection of Bell's solo works. In 1993, Chilton and Stephens reformed the Big Stars with the recruitment of Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow from Posies, and gave a concert at the University of Missouri. The band remained active, toured in Europe and Japan, and released a new studio album, In Space, in 2005. Chilton died in 2010 after suffering heart problems. Hummel died of cancer three months later. This death left Stephens as the only surviving founding member. Big Star was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame in 2014.

Era pertama: 1971-1974
Formasi band
From 1967 to 1970, Chilton was the lead singer for the blue-eyed soul group, Box Tops, who scored a hit No. 1. 1 with the song "The Letter" when she was sixteen. After leaving the group, he recorded a solo album. She was offered the role of lead vocalist for Blood, Sweat & amp; Tears, but declines the offer as "too commercial". Chilton has known Chris Bell for some time: both of whom live in Memphis, each of whom has spent time recording music at Ardent Studios, and each, when aged 13, has been impressed by The Beatles music during the band's 1964 US debut tour. A song written by Chilton almost six years after he first watched the Beatles appearance, "Thirteen", referring to the show with the line "Rock 'n' roll here to stay". Chilton asks Bell to work with him as a duo that imitates Simon & amp; Garfunkel; Bell refused, but invited Chilton to the show by his own band, Icewater, which consisted of Bell, drummer Jody Stephens, and bassist Andy Hummel. Attracted by Icewater music, Chilton showed her three new songs "Watch the Sunrise", and was asked to join the band. Both "Watch the Sunrise" and "Thirteen" were later included in Big Star's first album, # 1 Record . Now the four-piece band adopted the Big Star name when one member was given the idea of ​​a frequently visited grocery store for a snack during a recording session. One of the many Big Star Markets outlets in the Memphis area at the time, had a logo consisting of five-pointed stars lining the words "Big Star"; As well as the name of the store, the band uses the logo but without the word "Star" to avoid copyright infringement.
# 1 Record
Although the four members contributed to songwriting and vocals on the first album, Chilton and Bell dominated as duo who deliberately imitated John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The album was recorded by Ardent founder John Fry, with Terry Manning contributing backing vocals and occasional keyboards. The title of # 1 Record was decided towards the end of the recording session and was revealed, although as a pleasant hope rather than a serious expectation, the chart position will be achieved by the big stars. Although Fry - at the urging of the band - is credited as an "executive producer", he openly insists that "the band itself actually produced this record". Fry recalled how Ardent, one of the first recording studios to use a sixteen-tape machine, worked experimentally with band members: "We started recording songs with the intention that if they were OK, we would get them out..... I ended up being the prime person Do it: I record all the tracks and then they often come in late at night and overdub, one by one, they all learn enough techniques. "
Describing the mix of music styles found in Record # 1 , Rolling Stone ' s Scoppa notes that the album includes "reflective and acoustic" numbers, "even the prettiest songs have tension and subtle energy for them, and the rockers resonate with power". Scoppa found that in every mode, "guitar sounds pointed sharp and full". The # 1 Record was released in June 1972, and quickly received strong reviews. Billboard goes as far as to say, "Each piece can be one". Rolling Stone rated the album as "excellent", while Cashbox stated, "This album was one of the red-letter days when it all fell together as a total vote," and calling it "an important note that should go up with proper handling". The right handling, however, will not come: Stax Records proved unable to promote or distribute recordings with any success rate, and even when the band's own efforts to get the attention aired, fans can not afford it because Stax can not make this available in many store. Stax, in an effort to increase the availability of its catalog, signed an agreement with Columbia Records, a successful distributor in the US, made Columbia responsible for the entire Stax catalog. But Columbia is not interested in dealing with independent distributors that were previously used by Stax and deleted even copy of the existing Records from stores.
Radio City
Frustration at # 1 Record ' s sales is hampered to contribute to the tension within the band. There was a physical battle between the members: Bell, after being beaten by Hummel, retaliated by destroying Hummel's new bass guitar to smithereens on the wall. Hummel takes revenge later on: finds Bell's acoustic guitar in his car without the last treatment, he repeatedly presses it with a screwdriver. In November 1972, Bell quit the band. When work resumed on the song for the second album, Bell rejoined, but subsequent conflicts soon erupted. The master record of the mysterious new songs is gone, and Bell, whose heavy drug intake affects his judgment, attacks the parked Fry's car. In late 1972, struggling with severe depression, Bell left the band once again, and by the end of the year, Big Star broke up.
After several months Chilton, Stephens, and Hummel decided to reform Big Star, and three jobs resumed on the second album. The selected title, Radio City , continues the game on the theme of the popularity and success of the big stars, revealing what biographer Robert Gordon calls the band's "romantic hopes". As Hummel put it,
It may be a bit weak, but in those days putting any word in front of the noun "city" to sort of emphasize the totality and the flaw is just a way of talking people. If someone suggests going to the store but you've got a bad deal there you might say, "Oh no, that place is 'ripping the city'." Calling LP Radio City would be a kind of wishful thinking. I mean, we hope it will be played on many radio, making it a "radio city". Of course not run like that...
Stephens recalled: "Radio City , to me, is just an amazing record.Being three parts really opens everything for me in terms of drumming.The drums take different roles in three bands, so that very fun. [...] Radio City is really more spontaneous, and the show is pretty close to the live show. "
Although unidentified, Bell contributed to the writing of several songs on the album, including "O My Soul" and "Back of a Car". Shortly before the album's release, Hummel left the band: judging that it would not last, and in his final year at college, he chose to concentrate on his studies and lead a more normal life. He was replaced by John Lightman for a short tenure before the band broke up.
Rolling Stone ' s Ken Barnes, describing music style Radio City , opened as recorded as the band's debut background, # 1Note , set it as "one of the leading new American bands working in the mid 1960s pop and rock vein". Radio City , Barnes finds, has "a lot of glittering pop enjoyment", though "the opening opener, 'O My Soul,' is a confusing and widespread funk of fun '; Barnes concludes that "Sometimes they sound like Byrds, sometimes like the beginning of Who, but usually like themselves that can not be described." Radio City was released in February 1974 and, like # 1 Record , received excellent reviews. Record was reported, "Sound stimulates, the music is amazing, and the results are very fast and rhythmic." Billboard rated it "very commercial". Bud Scoppa, then with the Phonograph Record, affirmed, "Alex Chilton now appears as a major talent, and he will be heard again." Cashbox calls it "an excellent collection of material that is expected to destroy this decent band in a big way". But like # 1 Record has been the victim of bad marketing, so does Radio City . Columbia, now in full control of the Stax catalog, refused to process it after the dispute. Without distributors, sales of Radio City , though much larger than # 1 Record , are very limited to only about 20,000 copies.
Third/Young Lovers
In September 1974, eight months after the release of Radio City, Chilton and Stephens returned to Ardent Studios to work on a third album. They were aided by producer Jim Dickinson and various musicians including drummer Richard Rosebrough, and Lesa Aldridge, girlfriend Chilton, who contributed to the vocals. Sessions and mixing were completed in early 1975, and 250 copies of the album were pressed with regular labels for promotional use.
Parke Putterbaugh of Rolling Stone describes Third/Sister Lovers as "extraordinary". He wrote, "Chilton's untidy work [...] beautiful and disturbing"; "very original"; "haunting brilliance":
To listen it is to be "plunged into a vortex of emotional conflict." The song was soaking wet in a string and a sweet one minute sentence, starkly playing and bowed it.No next pop song ever trusted out more than the 'Holocaust', a sad suit sung at the pace of a snail on top of a fake slide guitar piece and moaning the cello [...] On the up side, there's a delicious popuet "Stroke It Noel", anticipative magic "Nightime" ("Caught glimpsed in your eyes and falls through the sky," Chilton rhapsodizes) [...] Big Star baroque, guitar-driven pop reach apotheosis on songs like "Kizza Me", "Thank You Friend" and "O, Dana". [...] Without question, Third is one of the most idiosyncratic albums, deeply felt and fully embodied in the pop idiom.
Fry and Dickinson flew to New York with promotional copies and met employees of a number of record labels, but could not generate interest in the album. When similar promotional efforts failed in California, the album was suspended because it was not considered commercial enough to be released. Fry recalled, "We'll go in and play it and these guys will look at us like we're crazy". At the end of 1974, before the album was named, the band broke up, bringing Big Star's first era to its end. Dickinson later said that he was "nailed for spoiling Alex in the Third Big Star, but I think it's important that the artist be enabled to perform with integrity.However I did for Alex completely eradicate the oppressive production yoke that has she has felt from the moment she uttered a word to the microphone, good or bad. "
Since leaving the band in 1972, Bell spent time in several different countries trying to develop his solo career. In 1978, after returning to Memphis, the first two Big Star albums were released together in the UK as a double album, attracting enthusiastic fans and enthusiastic reviews. Soon after, the Big Star recognition grew when, four years after completion, the third album was also released in the United States and Britain. Until now, the hitherto untitled Third Lover/Sister has been known by some unofficial names including Third (reflecting his position in the discography), Green Beale Street (recognizing the legendary site nearby, was once a focal point for Memphis blues musicians) and Sister Lovers (because during the album recording sessions, Chilton and Stephens dating Les sisters and Holliday Aldridge).
Shortly after the release of Third/Sister Lovers, Bell died in a car accident. He seemed to lose control of his car while driving alone and was killed when he hit a lamppost after crashing into the sidewalks a hundred feet earlier. Blood tests found that he was not drunk at the time, and no drugs were found in him other than a bottle of vitamins. Bell is believed to fall asleep at the wheel or become distracted.

Second era: 1993-2010
Big Star returned in 1993 with a new line-up when guitarist Jon Auer and bassist Ken Stringfellow joined Chilton and Stephens. Auer and Stringfellow remain members of Posies, founded by the couple in 1986. Stringfellow is also known for his work with R.E.M. and Minus 5. Hummel chose not to participate. The first era material dominated the Big Star show, with the occasional addition of the song from the 2005 In Space album; Stringfellow recalled that during the 1990s, "We're working on the set list and we're going to this little cafe, little I know we'll play that set for the next ten years." The resurrected band made its debut at the spring music festival of the University of Missouri 1993. The recording of the show was released by CD by Zoo Records as Columbia: Live at Missouri University. The concert was followed by European and Japanese tours, as well as appearances on The Tonight Show.
Big Star's first post-reunion studio recording was the song "Hot Thing," which was recorded in the mid-1990s for Big Star's Big Star, Big Star tribute album. Like their previous studio releases, the tribute album was postponed for years because its record company would go bankrupt. Originally slated for a 1998 release on Ignition Records, the album was finally released in 2006 on Koch Records.
In Space was released on September 27, 2005 on the Rykodisc label. Recorded during 2004, the album consists of new material mostly written by Chilton, Stephens, Auer, and Stringfellow. David Fricke first pointed out that the context of its release is now "a world that expects the American Beatles to be ideal again- again "from the band that" reaches the power-pop perfection when no one else sees. "In Fricke's estimates, this apparently unrealistic expectation is partially fulfilled:" It's here - in the ice-cream joy and harmony of 'Lady Sweet '"- however, Fricke found that successful songs were inserted with" democratic R & amps "and glam rock-quality demos that had made Chilton's solo recordings as a blessing blend," and that "A Whole New Thing" started like T.Rex old, then nothing special. "However, warming up to" rough sunshine "from" The Best Opportunity ", Fricke concludes," In Space is not Record # 1 , but in the brightest, it is the Big Star in by all means. "
The band appeared in the Fillmore San Francisco Auditorium on October 20, 2007. The San Francisco-based band Orangerer appeared as an opening act. Big Star performed at the 2008 Rhythm Festival, staged from August 29-31 in Bedfordshire, England. On June 16, 2009, the double album # 1 Record / Radio City was reissued in remaster. In the same month, it was announced that the Big Star history movie, based on Rob Jovanovic's biography of Big Star: The Story of Rock's Forgotten Band, was in pre-production. On July 1, 2009, Big Star performed at a concert at Hyde Park, London, England. On September 15, 2009, Rhino Records released a set of four CD boxes containing 98 recordings made between 1968 and 1975. Keep the Eyes in the Sky including live versions and demos of Big Star songs, solo work, and material from previous Bell bands, Rock City and Icewater. On November 18, 2009, the band performed at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple in New York City.
Post-Chilton releases and tributes
Alex Chilton's memorial event
On March 17, 2010, Chilton suffered a fatal heart attack. He was declared dead on arrival at the Tulane Medical Center in New Orleans. Big Star has been scheduled to play at the SXSW Music Festival in the same week. The remaining members, joined the special guest of the original bassist Andy Hummel, M. Ward, Evan Dando, R.E.M. Mike Mills, and Chris Stamey, performed the concert as a tribute to him.
"Big Star's Third " menunjukkan
Three months after Chilton's death, Hummel died of cancer on July 19, 2010. Asked about the band's plans after Chilton and Hummel's death, Stephens told Billboard: "This is the music we love to play, and we happy to play it together, so we try to find a way forward where we can continue to do it. "In the Rolling Stone interview Stephens said that the May 2010 performance of tribute will be the group's final show as Big Star, though not a show most recently with Auer and Stringfellow, stating, "I can not see us out as Big Star... But I hate to add to Alex's loss by saying, 'That too' for Ken and Jon, I can not imagine not playing with them. very fun - but the emotional ties are there too. "
In December 2010, under the billing of "Big Star's Third ", Stephens teamed up with Mitch Easter, Stamey, and Mills, along with the string section, to perform live performances from the Big Star album The Third/Younger Lovers in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Joining additional players such as Matthew Sweet, Big Star's
On April 21, 2017, Concord Records released a live concert documentary Third on two DVDs, along with a three-CD live album, both titled Thank You, Friends: Big Star Third < i> Live... and More . The concert was performed in April 2016 at the Alex Glendale Theater, California.
The posthumous release
In June 2011, Ardent Records released EP Live Tribute to Alex Chilton , and Stephens confirmed on Ardent's blog that the performance of tribute in May 2010 was the last performance for Big Star as a band. A documentary film titled Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me (2012), directed by Drew DeNicola and Olivia Mori, recorded a group solo career and band members. In 2013, the documentary was released in theaters and on DVD, and it had a limited theatrical release in Britain in August 2014. In November 2014, Live in Memphis was released by Omnivore Recordings on CDs, vinyl, and as a DVD of the Big Star show on October 29, 1994, their only known show to be professionally filmed overall. According to Mojo, the DVD documented how the outline of the Star 1990s challenged expectations and lasted for 16 years: "Chilton's musicality was fascinating as he moved the band.... Alternating between lead and rhythm, he played with the mix laser focus and extraordinary coldness. "
The style and influence of music
Bell picked up his guitar when he was twelve or thirteen, but only when he heard the first record of The Beatles he was motivated to play the instrument on a regular basis. He acted as lead guitarist and lead vocalist and rhythm for a series of bands, performing songs by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, the Zombies, and the Animals. Chilton's first musical awareness came at age six when his brother repeatedly played records by the Coasters. His father liked jazz and then exposed it over the next few years to Glenn Miller, Ray Charles and Dave Brubeck. Chilton's enthusiasm for music began when he was thirteen when he first heard the tapes of the Beatles; he remembered getting to know the 1950s rock and roll, but "in 1959 Elvis was a syrup and Jerry Lee was gone, and the rockabilly stuff was over so I was not really caught in the rock scene until the Beatles came."
Chilton took an electric guitar at the age of thirteen, playing along with Beatles songs, then said, "I really like the British mid-sixties pop music [...] for two and a half minutes or three minutes, really an interesting song So I "I always want the same format, that's what I like. Not to mention rhythm and blues and the Stax stuff, too. "Chilton left his guitar playing with The Box Tops, then took the instrument again: he met Roger McGuinn, guitarist for Byrds, and developed a special interest in electric guitars and acoustic folk. enjoying the music of Otis Redding, Isley Brothers, Who, the Kinks, and especially the Beatles Hummel was also a member of more than one band during his early years of music, again influenced by The Beatles and other British Invasion acts.Bassis also plays guitar acoustics for personal pleasure, following the styles of Simon & Garfunkel and Joni Mitchell and using finger-picking techniques to play folk and bluegrass.Most of the songs on the first three albums are credited to either Bell/Chilton or Chilton, but some Hummel praise, Stephens, and others, either as a writer or a coauthors.On only seven live performances in the original era, the last one was a rally um releases second album, all four members contribute vocally.
While largely inspired by the music of The Beatles and other British Invasion bands, which also recognized the pop and power pop animations of the day, Big Star also incorporated dark and nihilistic themes to produce a striking mix of musical styles and lyrics. The body of work generated from the first era was the predecessor of alternative rocks of the 1980s and 1990s, at the same time generating material today regarded as an outstanding example of pop power. The stylistic range is evident from modern criticism. Bogdanov et al., Commenting on their # 1 Record on their All Music Guide to Rock, sees in "The Ballad of El Goodo" a "glowing, melancholy ballad", while John Borack's Ultimate Power Pop Guide single out Radio City ' s "Gurls September" as a "sparkling sparkling gem" of power pop. Borack also noted that the Third Enchanter/Sister was "slower, darker, and more bizarre" than the first two albums, identifying "Holocaust" as "Alex Chilton at his best", but found "Thank you Your friends "cite" the left field gem "is also present where" the hooks are as indisputable "as before. Jovanovic writes that while recording what Peter Buckley has in his book Rough Guide to Rock the term "rock guitar snarling" from the band's first "Do not Lie to Me" album, which considers conventional instruments insufficient for tasks, two Norton Commando motorcycles to the studio and fired the engine to intensify the track's bridge. Bogdanov et al. backup "snarl" for the song Radio City , "Mod Lang"; here Buckley writes that "the power of performances and uncertain mixtures gives a sense of chaos that only adds to the sensation".
Inheritance and influence
Although the first era of Big Star ended in 1974, the band acquired the following sect in 1980 when new acts began to recognize early material significance. REM Peter Buck confessed, "We've been kidding around with greatness, but we have not set a record as well as Revolver or Highway 61 Revisited or Exile on Main Street or Big Star's Third I do not know what it takes to push us to that level, but I think we've got it in us. "Chilton, however, told an interviewer in 1992, "I'm always surprised that people fall in love with Big Star like they do... People say Big Star made some of the best rock and roll albums ever, and I say they're wrong."
In 2014, Paul Stanley quotes the Big Star as an influence at the beginning of Kiss's moment: "We are always about verses, choruses, bridges (...)) It's called a hook for a reason, because it catches your attention, and that's my mentality." Give me a Raspberry. Give me a Small Face. Give me the Big Star. "
Critics continue to quote three of Big Star's first albums as a major influence on the next musician. Rolling Stone notes that Big Star "creates a masterpiece that never stops inspiring the next generation of rockers, from the late-1970s power-pop revivalist to alternative rockers at the end of the indie rock century in the new millennium". Jason Ankeny, music critic for AllMusic, identified Big Star as "one of the most mystical and influential sect actions in all rock & roll", which "impacts the next generation of indie bands on both sides of the Atlantic only surpassed by that of Velvet Underground ". Ankeny describes Big Star's second album Radio City, as "their work - rough and rough guitar pop impregnated with extraordinary intensity and spontaneity".
In 1992, Rykodisc raised interest in the band when republished Third/Sister Lovers and released a compilation of thumbs from Bell's solo material, I Am the Cosmos. In his 2007 Shake Some Action: The Ultimate Power Pop Guide , John Borack ranked # 1 Record / Radio City Ã, 2 in his chart "Pop 200's Biggest Power Album". Rolling Stone includes # 1 Record , Radio City and Third Lovers in All Time and "September Gurls" and "Thirteen" in 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . In addition to R.E.M., artists include Teenage Fanclub, The Replacements, Primal Scream, the Posies, and Bill Lloyd and Big Star db's cite as inspiration, and the influence of the band on Game Theory, Matthew Sweet, and Velvet Crush is also recognized.
- Cover version "Gurls September" appears on the Platinum Bangles album 1986 Different Light . "Gurls September", Borack writes, "is and is a sine qua non of power pop, a glittering gems and glittering with every side cut and shining to perfect perfection.... unparalleled and painful distillation love and longing. 'Gurls September' may not really be the biggest song ever recorded, but for the duration of 2:47 you can be forgiven for trusting it. "
