07: Into Something Good With Peter Noone
We’re kicking off this episode with some exciting Cowsills news! Rhythm of the World, an album where we’ve mixed 20 songs together, is now complete and mastered, so stay tuned! This episode we’re talking about our first ever cross-country tour, flying for the first time, and going out to Los Angeles to perform. We reminisce about the trip and what an eye-opening experience it was for us as kids never having been outside of New England before.We welcome Peter Noone onto the show, and he joins the conversation, telling us about his first tour around England with Herman’s Hermits, when he was just 16 years old. He talks about the success he had at such a young age, and the fact that he had his first hit record when he still lived with his grandparents!Peter tells us about a chance encounter he had with The Beatles and how much it motivated him. He started rehearsing and performing 24/7 with the Hermits, and because people saw them so often, they became convinced they were good. And they most certainly were! Herman's Hermits sold more than 60 million records, and 7 of their albums reached gold status, all before Peter was 25 years old. Song of the Week: "There's a Kind of Hush"
