Bix Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 So as you may or may not know, the surviving Beach Boys reunited for their 50th anniversary, recording a new album and going on tour for the first time in many years. Normally, there are three separate touring acts: - Mike Love, Bruce Johnston, and a backing band as The Beach Boys, since Mike is the one who licenses the name. AKA the shitty tour that mostly does really insipid versions of the early stuff. And "Kokomo." Though in fairness they've started to do their own takes on the Brian stuff that, going by the YouTube videos I've seen, are much better than you'd expect. - Brian Wilson with The Wondermints as his backing band, who did the Smile album (well, the Brian Wilson version) and tour a few years ago. - Al Jardine & the Endless Summer band. Which is probably good but nobody ever talks about them. Anyway, the tour ends in late September, and Mike has started booking his Beach Boys dates for the beginning of October. One venue cancelled when they realized what he was trying to pull. Malcom McLaren is looking up from Hell in admiration right now. Well done!

Timbo Slice Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Mike Love vs. Mick Jagger would have sold out Wembley. Or the Coliseum. Maybe both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
