Take a look at who shows up in the Fendertones latest Beach Boys cover.  Holy crap.

Hey, that was fantastic!

And some quality headphone-adjusting in there from the man who writes the songs Wink

Really though, kudos to those guys for that.

Should surprise no one.  The BB's did the background vocals for the Surf's Up album, and shared lead by Carl, Brian and Al.  And on the college/university/ other venue setlists.  Brilliant.

Lovely and brilliant. Congrats to those guys. BTW, you can't beat Mike Love singing those bass vocals. There's plenty of singers with a louder voice, or more adept technically or whatever; but none sounds nearly as human yet cool and expressive as he does in that range.

Where'd they get the footage of Mike singing? He doesn't seem to be in the same room with the rest of them, or even in the same house

Thanks for the nice words, everybody. To answer the question of where the footage of Mike came from, we went to him... it was hard to coordinate all of the schedules. Mike was recorded in a hotel room on Long Island, and the rest of the Beach Boys came to my living room in Pennsylvania. Darian recorded in two locations in LA, and Probyn recorded in LA as well. Scott sang his lead vocal in Florida, and the Stockholm Strings were recorded in Sweden.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

That was the best youtube video I've ever seen. It seems like there is now peace between the camps. Perhaps another reunion? With members of the Fendertones?

Maybe I'm being too hopeful… The NPP tour will most likely be Brian's last, but imagine if Mike, Bruce, Al, Dave, Blondie, and Ricky toured with the member of Brian's band, Mike's band, and members of the fendertones!

So where are all the Mike haters at on this one?  2 members of Brian's band appearing in a Fendertones video with members of the touring Beach Boys?  For me in my opinion that video is hands down the best cover on YouTube of any Beach Boys song.  This video shows that its "all about the music" that's why we are here.  First class vocals by all, first class musicianship by all, first class attention to all the minutia of Surfs Up.  I agree with the previous sentiments this is hands down the best recreation of a BB song my hears have ever heard.  Keep up the excellent work Fendertones!

Nice work, but I'm insane and still prefer their take on "The Monkey's Uncle." Man I love that song! I would probably explode if I heard that live.

 But good job, people. Excellent job weaving it all together, Edwin. The strings were a superb touch. Dedicated musicians doing their best on some of the greatest music ever composed has to make ya grin. So enough with the Cousin-based drama on this thread at least!

Let's not make this another BW vs ML thread, please. Instead let's discuss The Fendertones and their rendition of SU. I was very surprised to see all these big names in the video and it is evident The Fendertones' star is rising. They put a lot of time and effort into covering one of Brian's very best songs and the end result is something out of the ordinary.

Thumbs up to all the talented musicians who made this possible. Keep the songs coming, Fendertones.

I so wish I could sing like Darian. Drinking Buddies
