Blondie Chaplin to Guest with BW on Some Dates

From Blondie's Facebook page:

Blondie Chaplin is pleased to officially announce that he has been invited by Brian Wilson to guest on several dates on Brian's new tour including opening night in Florida, and dates in New York City, Montclair NJ, Las Vegas, LA & Oakland.

This great news!

[Rocky Raccoon]

That is awesome.  I hope he comes with them to Westbury too though!

I wonder what would happen if Brian invited Mike and Buce along for the tour? Brian and the BAD promotional "team"(if such a thing exists) could cover the expenses, and we could have another real Beach Boys tour since Mike and Bruce wouldn't have to worry about the financial issues. Of course, it's not that simple, but it's a nice thought.

[ontor pertawst]

Aw man, am I glad I sprang for decent seats! What an absolute treat! If they do Wild Honey, I'm in danger of transforming into pure energy.

[Rocker]

That is fantastic!!

[Jim V.]

Oh man. I hope there's a chance maybe that he will be added to more dates. I'm going to the St. Augustine show, and I would be floored if I were to see Brian, Al, Blondie, and David all together.

And I know this is gonna upset Stebbins and co., but I'm actually way more excited about Blondie being involved with Brian and Al then I am with Dave. I guess it's because he is the singer of one of my favorite BW tunes.

IIRC, it was Mike who made it clear that Brian wasn't welcome to tour with him. Not sure why it's Brian's job to fix that.

Atlanta, please!

Totally happy my friend Blondie got a gig with the guys. I did all I could to encourage that occurrence... as did Howie. We're both stoked it became a reality. Congrats Blonds.

This Oakland gig is getting better and better!  And have you seen the lady in Jeff's group that will be playing violin and doing background vocals in Brian's band? Ooooooowe!!!  Shades of Taylor Mills!  And Jeff's bass player looks like she's a top shelf player too!

One of the comments on Blondie's page said........."Feel like Leaving This Town to go and see one of those shows."

Taylor who? 

[Mikie]

Yeah, no kidding.  Her presence is missed.

[Wirestone]

Fabulous news all around.

...

And surely this thickens the plot around the naming rights, no? As someone stated, this now means that Brian's tour will feature twice as many Beach Boys as Mike's.

[hypehat]

Sweeeeeeeeet

This is amazing news! I'm going to the one at the Beacon in NYC. It's like another reunion. If we get Ricky, then we have that magic #5. Now invite Carl's kids out

[donald]

Hope to see him in DC.   

As for the mention of Taylor Mills, I would love to hear her perform with the band again.

As for Beck's bass player, I heard from a friend just the other day, that she is quite the talent.

Boy, this tour really sounds like it's going to be pretty special. It would be a real shame if all of us somehow forget posted policies and we all brought along our best recording devices and hit the big red button by accident while aiming them carefully and not coughing or laughing in a weird way by the mic. A real shame.

Yeah, that would be so awful.

[SonicVolcano]

He should have been part of the C50 tour as well. Great news, nonetheless!

Can you convince Blondie to perform October 3 in St Augustine?   Thanks!

[chrs_mrgn]

All this great news but not even a single date with ANYONE near Seattle! 

[SMiLE Brian]

M&B are going to have to call the full "full house" cast to keep up with this supergroup.

Will do!

'Supergroup'? Did someone say 'Supergroup'?  That's just what this is!  


SUPERGROUP!

[Mr. Wilson]

AWESOME..!  I also smell a lawsuit building.!  BW + management could be building a strong case to take BB name away from Mike. Look what is happening. You got 4 BB in one band and 2 in another. And who has the rights to use The BEACH  BOYS name.. WHOA.! Im not saying its gonna happen cause im sure they are tired of wasting money on lawyers..And I know they could vote Mike"s rights away also.. Lawsuit anyway from Mike.. So they are setting a precedent if it went to court. it would have to be settled out of court and force all parties to play ball together.. Also isn't this also a way to set rules for the future generations use of the name.. ?  It"s obvious Brian + Al + David were really hurt by breaking up last year and they are striking back the only way they know how.. Recording + touring.. They all seem to think they will live forever and they got plenty of time.. Im sorry they don't.
