Beach Boys-Hyde Park July 7th 2013

[Lowbacca]

Anyone else just looked at that picture of 'the Beach Boys' - the band supposedly behind songs such as God Only Knows, Cabin Essence and Cuddle Up - stood beside JLS and the Gruffalo and just completely lost the will to live? Because I have.

I feel ya. Luckily I don't have the foggiest as to who those people are. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

[Mike's Beard]

I wouldn't be suprised if this is to be televised in the UK. Can it be shown on T:4 so my viewing pleasure is interupted every 15 minutes by stupid, unfunny wanker presenters please?

[Heywood]

The image being used by the Hyde Park event website:

oh god, that's too funny 

  Just what is the Gruffalo? An ill-mannered buffalo? 

That's The Gruffalo, behind Bruce.

thanks for that!
For a minute thought they had a new drummer.

I feel more sorry for Paul Young, who apparently isn't more talented than an anthropomorphised children's character. Still The Beach Boys got equal billing with the gruffalo, that's pretty rough man.

If you've heard Paul Young's singing recently then that's a pretty fair assessment.

Okay, JLS are shite, granted, but don't diss the Gruffalo… my four year old loves him and that just might be my way into a BBs gig his year!

I lost the will to live with Mike and Bruce a long time ago

That JLS guy with the hat on backwards is making me feel violent. Mike should like, come on stage and knock his hat off or something during the performance. Then punch him.

Plus Bruce should pistol-whip him.

Then steal the hat.

Don't judge them for their appearance; judge them for their terrible, terrible music.

That would require listening to it...

Beach Boys have never heard of JLS:

[Emdeeh]

I suspect lots of folks in the US have never heard of JLS.

[absinthe_boy]

I wish I'd never heard of JLS.

Manufactured pop crud at it's worst.

[scooby1970]

Wow, never thought I'd see The Beach Boys play on the same set as any of these other acts. That said, I'd love to go there just too see those Saturdays... Mmmm... And they make great pop records!

The esteemed members of this board could've written the above interview with Mike - the Beach Boys cliche police are out in force  

Like what he says about there being good restaurants in London - this is the Beach Boys Gastronomic Whistle Stop Tour...

[Smilin Ed H]

I hope he does a restaurant review.

[SamMcK]

You know I'm actually feeling pissed off as well as embarrassed to be a fan of the band at the moment, considering I have to explain to just about everyone I know that this isn't The Beach Boys that made Pet Sounds, Good Vibrations and so many of the greatest songs of the 20th century but is in fact closer to a tribute act you would see at a local high school or a carnival. The fact that I've seen more publicity and people mentioning this upcoming gig than The actual Beach Boys 50th anniversary concerts, TWGMTR and The Smile Sessions aggravates me to no end. I'm currently in denial that this current band even exists as it does but seeing that poster again sets me off. Its like seeing a close friend of many years living as a homeless tramp on the streets.

So, who's going to this shindig, then ?

So, who's going to this shindig, then ?

Dumb people who don't know any better or have nothing else to do. So great to see myKe and his tribe get second billing. Better start getting used to it peepull.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

So, who's going to this shindig, then ?

I might go. I love the Gruffalo, JLS and Paul Young!

[MaxL]

I'm going because I love The Beach Boys and quite fancy checking out Paul Young, the Soul Rebels and seeing what else is on show. Guess that makes me a dumb person.

[Pretty Funky]

So is this the same stage the Stones are playing the 6th, which I think is now over in the UK?

[Jurrasic Mark]

My dad is there. He just rang me to tell me Mike and Bruce played "Goin To The Beach"
