Title: Mike Love & The California Beach Band
Post by: SurfRiderHawaii on October 14, 2007, 03:20:26 PM
I'd never heard of this Mike vehicle.  Anyone seen them?

Quite the 'humble' bio for Mr.  Love

By the by, YouTube has songs atributed to the Beach Boys that sound like ML rubbish.  One is "Sun City" and another is "California Beach".  Any info on these AGD?

Unless Andrew wants to step in and correct me -
"Sun City" heralds from the unreleased (but much booted) 1982 sessions between Mike and Adrian Baker, whilst "California Beach" (also re-recorded under the title "Skatetown USA") - a Love/Jardine composition - appeared a few years earlier during Mike's 1978/79 solo sessions ...

Appeared too at his live solo concerts from 1981.

Thanks!  Knew "California Beach" sounded familiar, but different.

Though Mike's usually not the most humble guy on the planet, I think this is a very fair bio. Apart from the part about him playing the sax solo in Kokomo, I can't find any lies or even exaggerations.

If a potential client of grabow.biz stumbled on this...

...just who/ what Beach Boys would they be getting?

A little short of honesty here IMO.  >:(

Wow...I wonder how much one would have to pay for ML/CBB to perform at their wedding or Christmas party...

Does anyone know which of the band members are in this band, and how often they perform?  I haven't received any setlists from any of these shows.
