Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: Aegir on April 25, 2008, 09:42:28 AM There are tons of Beach Boys tribute bands. Papa Doon Run Run and the Surf City All Stars are the most well-known because they have people who've played with the Beach Boys before, but Beach Boys tribute bands can be found everywhere.
Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: Mr. Wilson on April 25, 2008, 10:45:12 AM I just googled name of band.. they have a myspace site.. Interesting info..i believe that the guitar player is the new guy in Al Jardine"s band + billy Hinsche jams with them..guitar player"s name is jared..they sound really good.... As far as many tribute bands doin BB music.. Not aware of that.. Never hear of tribute bands here in California.. In fact just gettin a bunch of guys together to play + sing Bb music isnt easy..My experience with it is..Most people dont feel they can do it justice...But thats just my experience..

Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: Mark A. Moore on April 25, 2008, 11:26:42 AM Good Vibrations are Jeff Celentano and the guys from Tripsitter.
Chris Farmer also has a new thing going with the "The OC Beach Band" . . . M. Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: brianc on April 25, 2008, 11:58:24 AM Anyone have that 7" EP by Harmony Beach?
Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: oldsurferdude on April 25, 2008, 02:20:09 PM ...and, of course, the "Mike and Bruce Tribute Band". :lol
Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: Mr. Wilson on April 25, 2008, 02:28:32 PM Didnt Flash Cadillac + continental kids do a tribute song or lp..??? I forget..
Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: dogear on April 25, 2008, 02:34:48 PM The Sands of Time did one.
In Germany die Strandjungs (=Beach Boys) were quite popular about 15 years ago - they specialized in German versions of BB classics. Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: mikeyj on April 26, 2008, 12:19:20 AM What about the Surfsiders and their legendary tribute LP? That one's a classic ;)
Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: smile-holland on April 26, 2008, 12:41:55 AM Gidea Park?
Remember seeing them playing on a sixties revival show somewhere in the early 90-ies with several well- and lesser-known groups, and they did one huge set with Beach Boys hits. Pretty nice, although seeing 6 to 7 musicians dressed like they were going to the beach was almost embarassing. Part of the image I guess... Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: Andrew G. Doe on April 26, 2008, 03:18:59 AM Didnt Flash Cadillac + continental kids do a tribute song or lp..??? I forget.. Sons Of The Beaches - excellent album: CD reissue has bonus tracks. Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: Andrew G. Doe on April 26, 2008, 03:22:00 AM Anyone have that 7" EP by Harmony Beach? Yup... and the CD with the bonus track I 'engineered' (that is, I set the level on the (admittedly broadcast quality) cassette recorder, held the mike up and pressed the record key :)). Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: carl r on April 27, 2008, 10:55:52 AM ...and, of course, the "Mike and Bruce Tribute Band". :lol absolutely, in a sense anyone who is influenced by the Beach Boys up to the late 70s can be a Tribute Band. "Hot Love" by T. Rex uses a similar bassline to California Girls. So my favourite BB tribute band is T. Rex In recent years, UK dance-rock outfit Kasabian had a hit with "LSF" - and the verses on this sound terribly like the verses in Kokomo (I think). Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: Ethan on April 27, 2008, 11:55:38 AM Harmony Beach !!! You guys are making me feel OLD!
Where can we find Graham Dene on the dial now? Info on Rick De Yong... etc AGD? Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: Andrew G. Doe on April 27, 2008, 11:58:58 AM Graham's on the drivetime slot at Magic 105.4 these days. No idea what Rick's up to but he turns up at every Stomp Convention.
Title: Re: Tribute bands Post by: Ethan on April 27, 2008, 12:33:51 PM Thanks Andrew... remember hearing an.. erm' extended H&V played on Capital 95.8 in the late 80's/early 90's thanks to Mr Dene.( not to mention his BB A&B sides on the Saturday morns... 'full sail' etc.)
