Title: Mike/Bruce's BB's Band In 2012 Post by: jimmy1949 on January 04, 2012, 11:10:44 PM Since only a few of M & B's band member's are joining Brian's terrific ensemble to back the new tour what will become of those poor guys? I've seen Brian's band several times and know how great they are and I have seen M & B's BB's on You Tube and was always impressed. I kind of feel bad for them... :(
Title: Re: Mike/Bruce's BB's Band In 2012 Post by: Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again on January 04, 2012, 11:17:26 PM Oh, I'd imagine Mike and Bruce will go back to their usual 2 billion dates a year as soon as the reunion is over, without skipping a beat.
Some of their guys might be happy for the break. Title: Re: Mike/Bruce's BB's Band In 2012 Post by: stack-o-tracks on January 04, 2012, 11:21:34 PM I'm sure anybody in the band could find another gig if they need the work.
Title: Re: Mike/Bruce's BB's Band In 2012 Post by: Eric Aniversario on January 05, 2012, 01:00:37 AM The three that were not included were Tim Bonhomme, Christian Love, and Randell Kirsch. I have a hunch they are paid decently and probably will be OK taking a year off, but I could be wrong. Christian has his band 5-Alarm which I'm sure he'd be happy to play more dates with. I think both Tim and Randell are part of that same band too?

As for taking a year off, I'm betting Mike & Bruce will go right back to what they've been doing since 1998 after the tour is done - it's only 50 dates, remember.

I've seen Brian's band several times and know how great they are and I have seen M & B's BB's on You Tube and was always impressed. I kind of feel bad for them... :( I wouldn't feel too bad for "those poor guys" I doubt they'll be shunted off to some grim Dickension workhouse I try to limit my pity to starving children and people who live in Birmingham. Title: Re: Mike/Bruce's BB's Band In 2012 Post by: PongHit on January 05, 2012, 09:00:36 AM Christian was said he's not interested in playing the Celebration 50 tour. Wonder why? Title: Re: Mike/Bruce's BB's Band In 2012 Post by: HeyJude on June 04, 2012, 04:50:37 PM Curiously, looking through the 50th Anniversary Tour program, Tim Bonhomme is listed as the road manager on the tour. Slightly weird, and interesting.

Your post implies that ChrLove was asked to be a part of the tour, then? Title: Re: Mike/Bruce's BB's Band In 2012 Post by: Jason on June 04, 2012, 07:59:54 PM Christian's actually said himself that he's not a fan of the band's music. He's allowed. If he wants to play for a few extra bucks from Michael, go ahead.

If he wants to play for a few extra bucks from Michael, go ahead. Where did you see this? That's kinda surprising, as he also is now part of the California Saga group. Title: Re: Mike/Bruce's BB's Band In 2012 Post by: Emdeeh on June 05, 2012, 11:14:25 AM Tim Bonhomme is working the 50th tour on the management side, so he has a gig.
And the newest ESQ says Randell Kirsch (and Alan Boyd) is working with Dean Torrence on a new project.

I thought the same thing, if he isn't interested in the tour or the music why has he played so many dates with the Mike and Bruce Beach Boys band and why is he with California Saga?? Very confusing. Title: Re: Mike/Bruce's BB's Band In 2012 Post by: AndrewHickey on June 06, 2012, 01:14:00 AM I thought the same thing, if he isn't interested in the tour or the music why has he played so many dates with the Mike and Bruce Beach Boys band and why is he with California Saga?? Very confusing. He's a musician and it's a regular gig. Even if he doesn't much like the music, he's a performer and may well enjoy playing live whatever he's playing. Or it might be as a favour to his dad. As for California Saga, I can't see that being a long-term ongoing professional thing, as opposed to something with a gig every few months at a charity event or something (UNLESS there's a conscious passing-of-the-torch thing going on there -- I could imagine them being given the license to tour as 'the Beach Boys' after the 50th tour is over, though I think it's incredibly unlikely). Probably just an excuse to hang out with some of his extended family a bit.

Title: Re: Mike/Bruce's BB's Band In 2012 Post by: Cabinessenceking on June 06, 2012, 05:53:27 AM imo Christian Love might be in on CalSaga because they are not doing "409" 150 times a year. CL is a young guy, he probably has a greater liking to the post-PS part of the catalogue and as CalSaga is extended family and friends closer to his age it is more comfortable to do it. Who wants to hang out with dad forever, right? just my two cents
