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.

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..

Good Vibrations are Jeff Celentano and the guys from Tripsitter.

Chris Farmer also has a new thing going with the "The OC Beach Band" . . .

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.

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...

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story

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  Smiley).

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).
