I don't care how many people it takes to recreate the sound of the Beach Boys live or in the studio. The point is to keep this timeless music alive. Bravo.

I can remember when in 68 my older brothers came home with new 45s and then got out the old zenith portable record player ,took it outside on the front lawn and then we'd all listen and dance. I miss being young Robert.

@CreekyGuy 3 года назад

Robert Edwards - My father died in 1964. I turn 69 this month, and for our family there wasn't much during this time period to be happy about. New city, schools, fighting all the time. It was hard. The Beaches and Monkees music playing over my brother and my (shared) 7-transistor radio was usually able to brighten things back then. Good music. Good... vibrations.

Brian Wilson was such a perfectionist, which is what probably drove him over the edge. Thankfully he made it back. I'm sure he would love this group.

Man I am a long time fan of Brian Wilson and his music and I am blown away. These guys are FANTASTIC!

I will keep an eye on the facebook page and hope for an upcoming concert.

As a Beach Boy lover from way back I am amazed at how The Fendertones so closely imitated the BB's in every detail ! Absolutely fabulous. Did they ever tour? Are they still around? A lot of work was put into all this---I'll bet they had fun doing it and were so gratified to be able to sound so close to my all time favorite band.
