You love them or you hate them or you may not know who the hell they are. Back in 1986 in order to cash in on the resurgence of the popularity of The Monkees due to MTV re-airing the episodes on their 20 year reunion. Straybert Productions, headed by Steve Blauner along with the other producers of the original show, Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, held an American Idol type of audition in both New York City and Los Angeles to re-create the Monkee magic. The New Monkees consisted of Larry Saltis, Jared Chandler, Dino Kovas and Marty Ross. I was only familiar with Marty Ross at the time because of him being a member of a popular group, The Wigs. This New Monkees television show was sold and aired in syndication, unlike the original Monkees television show that aired on NBC during the primetime slot. This could have been one reason of the lack of the popularity for the group and the show. Another reason may be that many fans of the Monkees show did not warm up to these guys. Their situation was not helped when Micky, Davy and Peter publicly blasted them at every interview given in 1986 and 1987. Dont get me wrong, I am a Monkees fan. But, wouldn't it have been great to see a cage match between these guys two made for TV bands. Sans Mike Nesmith, of course! Ha! Ha! Monkees jokes, I cant get enough! Hey! The New Monkees did do an episode where they were in Sumu wrestler outfits! It could have happened! Personally, I like their sound. In this video, much of the credit is due .... + Informações

The term Pilot is misleading because this in fact was the 'presentation' to sell the show to distributors. This was never aired. In 1986 (which I affectionately call 'The Regurgitation Period' of televison) Straybert Productions held auditions, much like you see now on American Idol or Making the Band, to create a new television show. And this piece shows that process.. + Informações

From the notes on the tape, this was video shot during a photo shoot. Obviously bored and under some kind of influence,..I'm talking musical (perhaps, perhaps not),... they try to make the best of the situation. Marty sings about KYLE, who I think was the 2nd Assistant Director and in charge of wrangling the guys and never giving them any privacy :). + Informações

I wanted to make this video back in 2008, but did you know that the world of music suffered a great loss with the disbanding of a group called the New Monkees? The New Monkees was a late 80s reinventing of the Monkees, a 60s group which was developed to mirror the fun and sounds of The Beatles, who, by 1966, had departed from their carefree, mop-top days that skyrocketed them to worldwide success and gave birth to Beatlemania. I really think the New Monkees had what it took to be successful had they not been thrown together by a company under the Monkees name.. + Informações
