These are great, as usual.

Have they ever covered In The Back of My Mind?

Thanks for the head up. They are great performers that really duplicate the BB sound

Finally something new by those guys! Marvelous. Good to see some of the big league joining them - the Fendertones deserve no less. Happy for them.

Excellent, as usual. I notice they didn't hold the suspended 4th at the end of the chorus of You're So Good To Me - I wonder why.

Pretty cool.
Funny how on Shut Down the lead singers imitate the original double-tracking small mistake on "and now the 413".

It's like they do the backing vocal "break up" on Sloop and the "woaWOah baby" on kiss Me Baby

Smashing! Love these guys. I'd love to hear them do some Wild Honey and Friends stuff.

I noticed the same thing! right away! .....

these guys are extremely great, I love how they have most of  the 'tones' of the instruments down pat....

would like to hear em do 'in the back of my mind' too .... 'surfer moon', 'soulful old man sunshine' 'til I die' etc

With the exception of the last cover, everything is jolly good, "Sloop John B" especially! I like 1 moment in the video where John Cowsill holds his cell right before him & the band performing as if he wants to capture this in camera. Also, the younger-looking guy with glasses who stands at the mic reminds me a lot of our own Wrightfan. If you saw his soundcloud page, you'd agree with me.
 
Maybe it's only me but I like seeing rehearsal stuff more than I do live shows. Sth. about friendly enclosed atmosphere paired with the rule that studio videos always have a sharper quality than the concerts. And NO handclap/cheer noises.

Good stuff.  Have they released any recordings?  Youtube is ok, but I can't jam out in my car to YouTube (well, don't want to anyway).

Get a YouTube downloader and make some mp3s out of the YouTube videos. I don't think they've released anything.
