New Radicals was a band that was at the height of its popularity in 1999 in music. The band only released one album, ''Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too'', but was able to produce two commercially successful Single (music) from it: "You Get What You Give" and "Someday We'll Know". The band's only constant members were lead-singer Gregg Alexander, who wrote and produced all their songs, and background-vocalist Danielle Brisebois, who often worked with Alexander (before and after the New Radicals) and also co-wrote the Radicals' second single "Someday We'll Know". All other members changed from recording to touring to video-shooting. ==History== The New Radicals were formed in Los Angeles in 1997 by record producer/singer/songwriter Gregg Alexander. The concept behind the band was a revolving door with no permanent members other than Alexander, joined by a changing array of other musicians. Their first and only album, ''Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too'', was released on 20 October 1998, followed by their first single "You Get What You Give", which became a huge hit with heavy radio airplay and rotation on MTV and much media attention, in large part focused on the celebrity-slamming line ''"Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson/ Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson/ You're all fakes run to your mansions/ Come around we'll kick your ass in"''. When asked about it in an interview, Marilyn Manson replied he was ''"not mad that he said he'd kick my ass, I just don't want to be used in the same sentence with Courtney Love"'' and would ''"crack his skull open if I see him."''[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1430072/19981202/story.jhtml] Alexander later explained the line, along with the lines directly before it, ''"Health insurance rip off lying/ FDA big bankers buying/ Fake computer crashes dining/ Cloning while they're multiplying"'' was an experiment to see if the media would focus on the real issues, or on the celebrity dissing.[http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/513079/03251999/new_radicals.jhtml] To promote their album, the Radicals embarked on a tour through the United States, starting in fall of 1998. Apart from many concerts and festivals the tour also included several live performance on the radio, an appearance at the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and a performance at the House of Blues in Chicago on New Year's Eve 1999 (which is probably the only New Radicals show of which bootlegs are circulating). They also opened for the Goo Goo Dolls on their tour starting 30 March 1999. When the band canceled their appearance at RockFest as well as their UK tour (sheduled to start on 17 May 1999) rumors started they would break up, while MCA Records claimed a member of the band being ill was the cause for the canceled shows. The Radicals went on to shoot the video for their second single "Someday We'll Know", however even before its release, Gregg Alexander issued a press release on 12 July 1999 announcing he disbanded the group. He stated that ''"the fatigue of traveling & getting three hours sleep in a different hotel every night to do boring 'hanging and schmoozing' with radio and retail people, is definitely not for [him]"'', that he ''"lost interest in fronting a 'One Hit Wonder' to the point that [he] was wearing a hat while performing so that people wouldn't see [his] lack of enthusiasm."'' and that he would go on to form a production company to focus on producing and writing songs freelance for other artists.[http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=49834] His first producion work after the Radicals' breakup was the album ''Portable Life'' by fellow Radical Danielle Brisebois. In the following years he worked with artists such as Ronan Keating, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Enrique Iglesias, often collaborating with producer/song-writer Rick Nowels. His most successful song as a producer/song-writer was the Grammy Awards of 2003-winning "Game Of Love" by Carlos Santana and Michelle Branch. In 2003, a new Gregg Alexander song entitled "A Love Like That" was leaked onto the internet. While it was uncredited, fans immediately recognized Alexander's voice and parts of the lyrics that had already appeared in the booklet for ''Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too''. The song was (as official sites listing Alexander's song repertoire reveal) written by Alexander and Rick Nowels. Also, in 2005 LMC did a remix of "You Get What You Give" which was released as "Don't Let Go" by LMC vs New Radicals. Years after their breakup, the New Radicals' songs are still being used for several commercials and trailers (for example the trailer to the 2001 film ''Bubble Boy''), TV shows (like ''Scrubs''), on soundtracks (like ''A Walk to Remember'' and ''Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed'') and covered by artists such as Mandy Moore and Hall & Oates. ==Discography== ===Albums=== * ''Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too'' (1998) #41 US, #10 UK ===Singles=== * "You Get What You Give" (1999) #64 US, #5 UK, #13 Australia * "Someday We'll Know" (1999) #28 US, #48 UK ===Promos=== * ''Songs from Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too'' (album sampler) # "You Get What You Give" - 5:00 # "Mother We Just Can't Get Enough" - 5:46 # "I Hope I Didn't Just Give Away The Ending" - 6:37 # "I Don't Wanna Die Anymore" - 4:24 # "Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too" - 5:20 * "You Get What You Give" (one-track promo) * "Someday We'll Know" (one-track promo) * "Mother We Just Can't Get Enough" (one-track promo - probably intended as third single) [http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=311851] ===Live recordings=== Two live recordings of "You Get What You Give" were officially released: * "You Get What You Give" (Live at WXPN's ''World Cafe'') on ''Live at the World Cafe - Volume 8'' (1999) * "You Get What You Give" (Live at KBCO, February 1 1999) on ''KBCO Studio C - Volume 11'' (1999) ==Videography== * "You Get What You Give" (1999) * "Someday We'll Know" (1999) ==External links== * [http://www.newradicals.net NewRadicals.net] (fanpage with quite active forum) * [http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=49834 Press release anouncing the band's break-up] on PR Newswire * [http://www.mcarecords.com/artistMain.asp?artistid=62 Band's offical homepage at MCA] * http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/TechnicolorLover/ (fanpage, no longer updated) * http://www.geocities.com/thetiger97/newradicals (partial list of tour dates) American musical groups
==Discography== I think it is not necessary to list all unofficial bootlegs and live recordings in the discography, and neither should cover version of their songs by other artists be listed, as these clearly are not part of the New Radicals' discography. So, unless there are any objections, I'll remove those parts. --User:Fritz Saalfeld 10:32, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC) With any other artist I would agree with you, however given the limited material we're working with, I think it's appropriate. YGWYG at Leno isn't that unofficial either, I mean it was an appearance on a popular talkshow. User:M.C. Brown Shoes 12:05, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Yet, I think we should try to have some constancy in Wiki, therefor leave it out. Plus, if one includes these, we'd also have to include all other live performances there are mp3s of, like the Much Music performance, etc. And the covers also would be a very long list, especially if we include covers on concerts. --User:Fritz Saalfeld ::Much Music performance? There's an MP3 of that? Do you mean the Gregg Alexander interview? And what other covers have there been? User:M.C. Brown Shoes 13:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC) :::No, I don't mean the interview. They also did one song. And there are so much crappy covers of "You Get What You Give" I lost track... Most of them should be mentioned in the forum on newradicals.net. Still I think none of this really belongs on a Wiki article. --User:Fritz Saalfeld ::::Yeah, but they're all amateur covers by dodgy bands like "Full Flavor", I hardly think they'd rate a mention. The Covers section would only be for established artists. Incidentally could you send me that mp3? :p User:M.C. Brown Shoes 13:10, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC) :::Even if one excludes unsigned bands there are still some of them and in my opinion covers fit the songs' articles better (if at all) than the band's discography. Imagine The Beatles' discography listing all covers...
As for the House of Blues and Tonight Show appearance, both are already mentioned in the history section and I think that should be enough. --User:Fritz Saalfeld ::But then, we are hardly dealing with a broad discography spanning decades, dozens of albums and countless bootlegs, as with say Prince (musician). When there's only three covers by established artists and only *one* complete live recording available, I think information about them is appropriate for Wiki visitors seeking information about the New Radicals. User:M.C. Brown Shoes 07:17, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC) :::It's not like the information isn't there. As I said, it already is in the history section. And to keep it in style with the rest of Wikipedia, I'd omit bootlegs and covers by others from the discography, even if these are small section for the Redicals. And there were more than 3 covers by established artists. Ronan Keating for example also did one. --User:Fritz Saalfeld 10:29, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC) ::::Ai'ight, I see where you're coming from. User:M.C. Brown Shoes 13:36, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC) ::Hey also, just out of interest, what other covers are there of YGWYG? I'd be interested to hear them. User:M.C. Brown Shoes 07:20, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC) :::Don't have a list at hands, but - as I said - most of them should be mentioned in the fan forum. --User:Fritz Saalfeld
