Well, a lot of people said Animal Collective was Beach Boys-esque when Merriweather Post Pavillion came out.

This song in particular could be an artsy-modern interpretation of a Beach Boys song:

The 8/24 date has been on the top post schedule for awhile. I'll add a notation to the Windsor show reflecting a postponement.

Thanks!

I like the Light Album, but it suffers from a mishmash of musical styles.  I found this alternative light album on youtube.   Just brilliant IMO -

Personally, I really like the song but feel is suffers from some mediocre vocals.   What if Mike, Al or Carl took the lead?   Could have been a huge hit!?

What are everyone's favourite modern (90's and beyond) bands that sound like or take heavy inspiration from the Beach Boys?

I've been compiling playlists, mostly with chamber pop bands like the High Llamas and Olivia Tremor Control. There's also newer bands like the Explorers Club and The Lemon Twigs.

I'd like to know what others have found over the years!

 

Another new date, PS show:
Aug. 24 -- Birmingham, England, UK -- Digbeth Arena

Also, Lee's prediction was correct -- the Windsor, ON show has been postponed, new date TBA, due to the labor strike.

I’ve heard it.  It’s actually Carnie and Wendy singing lead with Brian on backing vocals.

Nope. Not bad. Just how life goes.

She’s a critically acclaimed R&B leaning pop musician (lots of mid 70s Stevie Wonder sound imo) with about a decade of semi-popularity. “Tightrope” from around 2010ish was her breakout and maybe biggest hit. She has also collaborated with Prince, Of Montreal, Erykah Badu, Big Boi of OutKast...I forget who else.

She has also acted some, but I’ve never seen anything she did.

Is it bad that I have no idea who she is?

You're not the only one.
