Kimberley Rew first came to notice in the late 1970s as a member of Robyn Hitchcock's Soft Boys.

In 1981 Rew made a solo single backed by American band the dBs before helping to form Katrina and the Waves, and writing 1985's evergreen Walking on Sunshine (produced by Pat Collier and Scott Litt). The Bangles also recorded Rew's Going Down to Liverpool. Katrina and the Waves toured opening for the Kinks, the Beach Boys, and Squeeze among many others. Rew concurrently guested with Ashley Hutchings, Robyn Hitchcock, Julian Dawson and Boo Hewerdine.

In 1997 Katrina and the Waves won the Eurovision Song Contest for the UK with the Rew composition Love Shine a Light.

In 1999 Rew rejoined Robyn Hitchcock for the Jewels for Sophia album and tours. In 2001 the Soft Boys reconvened to rerelease their Underwater Moonlight album (now hailed as a gem from the vaults), and to tour and record.

Rew has released four solo albums in the present century.

"According to a former employee  of EMI "Walking on Sunshine was the crown jewel in EMI's catalog," and that it was one of EMI's biggest earners from advertisers."

John Lennon Exlored:#2

Join Paul Smith and Steve Champagne as they set their fun-loving, free-wheeling sights on the primarily Lennon Beatles songs "No Reply" and "I'm A Loser". Unrepentantly "John is my favorite Beatle", Paul and Steve will address the vocals, the music, the lyrics, and anything loosely associated therewith in a manner possibly best described as somewhere between laughing, crying, and "being condemned to eternal damnation for such blatantly obvious idolatry". High school and long time friend John Bard shows up to complete the John, Paul and Why didn't my mom call me George Steve Champagne. 

Featured hosts, Paul Smith and Steve Champagne gush, ramble, and riff on the Beatles' "You Can't Do That"  is a song written by John Lennon and released by the Beatles as the "b-side"  of their sixth British single "Can't Buy Me Love."

Paul and "why didn't my mom call me George" Champagne take you on a magical mystery tour through the music of John Lennon. They explore the ins, the outs, the highs, the lows and many twists and turns along the way. Two guys coming into puberty listening to Lennon and the Beatles locked in John Lennon as their working man's hero.

Let's just say Smith and Champagne are Lennonists!

Paul Smith and Steve Champagne have been long time friends. Paul comes to us from Bay View Wisconsin. Steve currently resides in Michigan City Indiana. Both grew up in Menomonee Falls Wisconsin.
