The Beach Boys Reunion - Ya es oficial!!!!!
Hollywood, California – December 16, 2011 – The founding members of The Beach Boys, one of the world's most legendary bands in popular music history, will reunite for a global 50th Anniversary CELEBRATION in 2012. Beach Boys Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks will come together for a new studio album and commemorative catalog releases with Capitol/EMI and a 50-date international tour to begin in April with a headlining performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival ("Jazz Fest") as well as other exciting events to be announced.
Brian Wilson says, "This anniversary is special to me because I miss the boys and it will be a thrill for me to make a new record and be on stage with them again."
Mike Love says, "We got together at Capitol Records and re-recorded 'Do It Again.' Brian and I wrote that song which went to number 1 in Great Britain, Australia and elsewhere some 44 years ago. Brian paid me a compliment saying, 'How can a guy sound that great so many years later?' Later on, while working out some harmonies on a new song Brian had written, I got a chance to return the compliment. It was a thrill to be around a piano again with Brian, Alan and Bruce and experience firsthand the brilliance of Cousin Brian's gift for vocal arrangements. I am very much looking forward to David Marks joining us and thrilling with his surf guitar licks. Music has been the unifying and harmonizing fact of life in our family since childhood. It has been a huge blessing that we have been able to share with the world. Wouldn't It Be Nice to Do It Again? Absolutely!"
Al Jardine says, "The Beach Boys were recently inducted into the California Hall of Fame. From our humble beginnings as brothers, cousins and friends, we have been honored to sing the praises of California, and I'm really excited for our fans to be able to see us again in concert on the world stage, and to celebrate our 50th anniversary together with a new studio album."
Bruce Johnston says, "I will be looking forward to singing Brian Wilson's melodies and Mike Love's lyrics once again in concert with many of the original band members, but imagine what we all could come up with vocally in a recording studio atmosphere under Brian's musical direction."
David Marks says, "I'm really looking forward to celebrating this important milestone in The Beach Boys' history with the other guys, and with Capitol Records - where it all began 50 years ago. It means a lot to me that we can all reunite and pay tribute to the fans who have kept the music alive."
The Beach Boys have already recorded several songs for their new album, to be released in 2012 by Capitol/EMI, with more tracks to be recorded before its completion. The as-yet-untitled album, the first to feature all of the band's surviving original members in decades, is being produced by Brian Wilson and executive produced by Mike Love.
The Beach Boys and Capitol/EMI have also teamed up for a 50th Anniversary campaign spotlighting the band's entire catalog, with several new commemorative releases planned for 2012, including a new hits collection and a career-spanning box set.
Roger Faxon, CEO of EMI Group commented: "It's no exaggeration to say that The Beach Boys are one of the greatest and most loved bands that the world has ever produced, and true American icons. We are incredibly proud to take this next step with them as our partnership enters its fiftieth year, and I can't wait to see the band back together doing what they do better than anyone else."
Colin Finkelstein, COO of EMI Music North America said: "We're honored to continue Capitol/EMI's historic partnership with The Beach Boys as they celebrate their fiftieth anniversary. The Beach Boys bring the best of California's sun and surf culture to people all over the world with their music, and we're really looking forward to working with the band on the new album and commemorative catalog releases - a real CELEBRATION of fifty years!"
Quint Davis, producer/director, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival says, "It's an honor to present the original Beach Boys reunion at Jazz Fest 2012. Hosting the greatest artists of our era has always been the primary mission of Jazz Fest, and certainly The Beach Boys are unsurpassed as an iconic American musical and cultural institution. Every spring Jazz Fest is the number-one destination for good vibrations and fun, fun, fun; on April 27th, when The Beach Boys reunite on our biggest stage, it's going to feel like a thrilling homecoming for everyone lucky enough to be there. We're all looking forward to experiencing the magic and the joy."
Founded in Hawthorne, California in 1961, The Beach Boys were originally comprised of the three teenaged Wilson brothers: Brian, Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and school friend Al Jardine. In 1962, neighbor David Marks joined the group for their first wave of hits on Capitol Records, leaving in late 1963, and in 1965, Bruce Johnston joined the band when Brian Wilson retired from touring to focus on writing and producing records for the group. For five decades, America's first pop band to reach the 50 year milestone has recorded and performed the music that has become the world's favorite soundtrack to summer.
The Beach Boys signed with Capitol Records in July 1962 and released their first album, Surfin' Safari, that same year. The album spent 37 weeks on the Billboard chart, launching the young group known for its shimmering vocal harmonies and relaxed California style into international stardom. The Wilson/Love collaboration resulted in many huge international chart hits, and under Brian Wilson's musical leadership, the band's initial surf-rock focus was soon broadened to include other themes, making The Beach Boys America's preeminent band of the 1960s.
In 1966, The Beach Boys were one of the first bands to found its own record label with the launch of Brother Records, Inc. (BRI), with the band's members as its shareholders and Capitol Records as its distribution partner. BRI continues to manage The Beach Boys' intellectual property, including the band's catalog with Capitol/EMI and other label partners, as well as its name, logos, image and likeness.
The Beach Boys continue to hold Billboard / Nielsen SoundScan's record as the top-selling American band for albums and singles, and they are also the American group with the most Billboard Top 40 chart hits (36). 'Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys' is fast approaching triple-Platinum sales status, and 'The SMiLE Sessions,' released to worldwide critical acclaim in November, has been heralded as 2011's #1 Reissue of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and recipients of The Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award, The Beach Boys are an American institution that is iconic around the world.

BRIAN WILSON SAYS BEACH BOYS REUNION ALBUM SOUNDS 'MELLOW'
Brian Wilson is riding high on two new releases -- his new covers album, In The Key Of Disney, along with the pop-rock holy grail box set of the Beach Boys' Smile Sessions. In an exclusive interview, we asked Wilson about that other collection he's been working on -- the long-awaited Beach Boys reunion album. Wilson has recently been laying down preliminary tracks for the still unnamed 50th anniversary project -- which kicked off last summer with him, Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Bruce Johnston teaming up with members of Wilson's and Love's respective touring bands to re-record the Beach Boys' classic 1968 hit single "Do It Again."
We asked Wilson if he was happy with the way the group gelled in the studio after 15 years apart: "Oh yeah, I was thrilled! Not one of those guys needs any work -- they're all great. Yeah, they're all good."
Wilson was asked how many tracks he's been working on for the upcoming Beach Boys project: "About six. It's going to be mellow. It's a mellow, mellow album. A lot of background parts -- y'know, a lot of background harmonies. Uh. . . my friend Jeff, one of my bandmembers, Jeff (Foskett), is singing backgrounds."
When asked if the album would be relying on re-recordings of other Beach Boys classics, Wilson said: "New stuff. I would like to advance on to new stuff. I wanna do rock n' roll. I'd like to do rock n' roll."
Producer Joe Thomas is heading up the 50th anniversary project for the band and previously produced the Beach Boys' last studio album, 1996's Stars & Stripes Vol. 1, along with Wilson's 1998 solo set, Imagination. Wilson told us that he's thrilled to be back working with Thomas behind the boards: "It's a great pleasure to work with the guy. He's such a great genius."
The new five-disc box set, called The Smile Sessions, features a full-on construction of the Beach Boys' version of Smile -- based on Wilson's 2004 "finished" version -- which was compiled by the project's producers and band archivists; Alan Boyd and Mark Linett. The set also features four more discs of session highlights and album outtakes.
Alan Boyd directed the band's 1998 documentary Endless Harmony and Grammy Award winner Linett is the man responsible for engineering Brian Wilson Presents Smile, producing and mixing the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds box set, and overhauling the group's entire catalogue over the past 20 years.
Smile, which was originally slated for release in January 1967, included such legendary songs as, "Our Prayer," "Heroes And Villains," "Wonderful," "Cabin Essence," "Wind Chimes," "Vegetables," "Good Vibrations," "I'm In Great Shape," "Child Is The Father Of Man," "Holidays," "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow," "Do You Like Worms," "Love To Say Da Da," and "Surf's Up," among others.
The Smile Sessions is available in both two-disc, and five-disc versions. The expanded, boxed edition of The Smile Sessions is also released digitally. The boxed set also includes a double vinyl LP set, a poster, and two seven-inch vinyl singles.

Rumores de nuevo disco de los Beach Boys
Hace meses Brian canceló los últimos conciertos de su gira europea porque tenia que estar ineludiblemente en Los Ángeles a finales de septiembre, pues bien el pasado día 29 de septiembre un DJ de Los Ángeles, Joey Scoleri publico en tu cuenta de twitter un par de comentarios, en los que decía que había estado en los estudios angelinos de "Oceanway" donde había estado escuchando a los Beach Boys con Brian Wilson. Incluso colgó una foto junto a Brian. De momento nadie ha confirmado nada por supuesto, parece que todo esto se esta llevando con gran secretismo, aunque siempre hay alguien que se le escapa algo, como en este caso parece que ha sido el tal Scoleri. estaremos atentos a posibles novedades.

En Estados Unidos saldrá a la venta el 1 de Noviembre, y en le resto del mundo un día antes, el 31 de octubre.

THE BEACH BOYS’ LEGENDARY ‘SMiLE’ ALBUM SESSIONS TO BE RELEASED NOVEMBER 1
BY CAPITOL/EMI -- ART AND TRACKLISTS UNVEILED
The Beach Boys Never-Before-Released SMiLE album
1966-’67 Album Sessions Compiled for 2CD and Digital Packages and Deluxe, Expanded Box Set;
Special Packages to be Available Exclusively from TheBeachBoys.com
The news came fast and furious today when Capitol/EMI made the annoucement that SMiLE would be getting the "all star" treatment, with an overwhelming wealth of information.
Although the mythical album has a storied background, this Holy Grail of releases has the full participation of original Beach Boys Al Jardine, Mike Love and Brian Wilson. Capitol/EMI has, for the first time, collected and compiled the band’s legendary 1966-’67 sessions for the never-completed SMiLE album. The announced release dates for the multiple sets are November 1 in the U.S., and October 31 internationally.
Initially titled Dumb Angel, Brian Wilson had The Beach Boys recording a bounty of songs and drafts between spring 1966 to May of 1967 for an album that was intended to follow the band’s 1966 masterpiece, Pet Sounds.
Wilson was working with lyricist Van Dyke Parks. Together, the pair set their sites on creating a true musical exploration of the white man's movement to the Wild West, and the deconstruction of the American Indian. The subject matter was so vast that the Beach Boys had difficulty understanding the overall vision. Vegetables, animal sounds, the elements and humor all became a part of the SMiLE vernacular, leaving the album in brilliant pieces of recordings and completed works of pure wonderment. By any standard, SMiLE represented psychedlic Americana agriculture at its best.
Ultimately the album was shelved due to several factions that will be explored in the December edition of Goldmine Magazine (issue #808, street date, Nov. 1), and in the "all SMiLE" special edition of Endless Summer Quarterly (available in November).
The SMiLE Sessions’ 2CD lift-top box, double vinyl LP, digital album, and iTunes LP formats feature an approximation of what was intended to be the completed SMiLE album, compiled from The Beach Boys’ original session masters. Additional session highlights and bonus tracks are also included, including demos and stereo mixes.
An expanded, boxed edition of The SMiLE Sessions will also be released physically and digitally, featuring the main SMiLE album tracks, plus four CDs of additional audio from the legendary sessions, a double vinyl LP set, and two 7” vinyl singles. The deluxe box will also contain a 60-page hardbound book with rare and previously unseen photos and memorabilia from The Beach Boys’ archive and newly-written essays by Beach Boys Al Jardine, Mike Love, Brian Wilson, and Bruce Johnston, as well as by Beach Boys historian and author Domenic Priore and many other inner-circle participants.
The multiple collections have been produced by Brian Wilson, Mark Linett, Alan Boyd and Dennis Wolfe in Los Angeles. The SMiLE Sessions’ physical and digital configurations include an assembled collection of core session tracks, while the box set delves much deeper into the sessions, adding early song drafts, alternate takes, instrumental and vocals-only mixes, and studio chatter. The SMiLE Sessions provides a "fly on the wall" experience as Brian Wilson leads the way guiding his fellow Beach Boys, singer Mike Love, drummer Dennis Wilson, lead guitarist Carl Wilson, rhythm guitarist Al Jardine, and newest member Bruce Johnston (who'd replaced Brian Wilson in the touring group during 1965), through the legendary sessions.
Artwork for all of The SMiLE Sessions’ physical and digital configurations has been created with and inspired by Beat-Pop artist Frank Holmes’ original 1967 LP sleeve art and booklet designs intended for the SMiLE album.
Several special SMiLE Sessions packages will be available for purchase exclusively on thebeachboys.com, including:
• The SMiLE Sessions 2CD edition paired with a limited edition SMiLE t-shirt (available November 1 for $39.99)
• The SMiLE Sessions 2CD edition paired with a limited edition autographed lithograph (available Nov. 1 for $99.99)
• The SMiLE Sessions limited edition box set with light-up SMiLE Shop window on lid, autographed (available Nov. 1 for $699.99)
• The SMiLE Sessions limited edition box set with light-up SMiLE Shop window on lid, autographed, paired with a custom-made SMiLE surfboard by Hobie is available for $5,999.99
Also accompanying this release, The Beach Boys have generated an official music video contest for "Good Vibrations" and "Heroes And Villains" by partnering with Tongal, the leading creative social platform. In Tongal’s first-ever music video initiative, fans can now collaborate to create the official music videos, as the project begins today (August 30) on Tongal.com, and consists of two phases - a concept phase and a video phase. The concept phase calls for fans to conceptualize the music video for “Heroes and Villains” or “Good Vibrations” in 250 characters or less. In the video phase, Tongal users can select one of the five winning concepts from phase one and produce a music video based on it. Cash prizes and special items, including an autographed custom Hobie longboard, will be awarded to the top submissions.
Beginning with “Good Vibrations,” The Beach Boys’ best-selling record in a long string of hits, Brian Wilson had begun to construct songs in a modular form, crafting individual sections that would later be edited together to form a coherent whole. In several intense bursts of creative energy, Wilson, drawing on the talents of the finest studio musicians in Los Angeles and utilizing the best studio facilities available on any given day, laid down dozens of musical fragments, all designed to fit together in any number of possible combinations. No one had done this before in pop music, and his next endeavor would be an album-length version of this unique and luxurious songwriting parlance: SMiLE.
In addition to this release, The Beach Boys and Capitol/EMI will celebrate the band’s 50th Anniversary in 2012. Plans for commemorative releases and other anniversary activities will be announced.

1. Our Prayer
2. Gee

The Beach Boys, Madrid, 15-07-2011 - La Crónica
Veranos de la Villa
Puerta del Ángel, Madrid, Spain
15 de julio de 2011
Beach Boys presentes:
Mike Love (percusión, voz)
Bruce Johnston (teclados, voz)
Banda de acompañamiento:
Scott Totten (guitarra solista, guitarra acústica y voz)
Randell Kirsch (bajo, voz)
John Cowsill (batería, percusión, voz)
Tim Bonhomme (teclados, voz)
Christian Love (guitarra rítmica y acústica, voz)
Tras tres horas de viaje en AVE, llego a Atocha a las 13:30. A las 14:00 ya estoy en el hotel. Rápidamente me dirijo al Hotel NH Ribera del Manzanares donde se hospedan nuestros héroes, y donde ya hace rato que varios compañeros del foro están haciendo guardia. Me dicen que han podido hablar con Christian y les ha dicho que Mike está en otro hotel. Decidimos ir a comer. De camino al restaurante nos topamos con Scott, que seguramente viene de la tintorería, ya que va cargado con varias camisas. Rápidamente reconoce a uno de nosotros. Nos atiende con amabilidad y además nos avisa de que Bruce estará en el NH Ribera a las 19:00.
Tras una buena comida, volvemos al hotel para descanar y luego seguimos haciendo guardia en el NH Ribera. Van llegando más miembros del foro. Mientras estamos tomando un refresco, vemos desde el bar al mismísimo Bruce en el hall, que parece que nos ha visto. Al llegar al hall Bruce ha desaparecido, pero acto seguido vuelve otra vez, cargado con una percha y vestido con camiseta y gorra blancas y pantalones cortos. Nos dice que en ese momento no puede hablar. Se dirige a la recepción donde habla unos instantes con una recepcionista del hotel. Una vez acabada la gestión se acerca a nosotros. Lo primero que nos dice es que apaguemos las cámaras. Una vez apagadas entablamos una amena y distendida conversación mientras nos va firmando autógrafos en todos los discos de los que vamos provistos. Entre otras cosas nos habla de que el Pet Sounds hay que escucharlo en mono, ya que Brian tenía problemas de oído, y si lo escuchas en estéreo te estas perdiendo algunos sonidos. También nos habla de cuando fue a Londres a presentar el disco a Lennon y McCartney, de las reacciones de éstos al escuchar el disco, y de los trajes blancos que ambos llevaban. Como suele ser habitual reniega de sus discos en solitario, nos dice en castellano que sólo los hacía por dinero. Cuando le preguntamos si puede haber una reunión de los Beach Boys y si se van a grabar temas nuevos, nos dice que es posible, pero no se muestra muy entusiasmado.
Es tarde. Las furgonetas ya están esperando. La organización apremia. El resto de la banda y el resto de comitiva que les acompaña va saliendo a la calle. Es hora de despedirse de Bruce, no sin antes hacernos las correspondientes fotos en él. Una de las cuales nos la hace el bueno de Tim, para que podamos salir todos en la foto. Suben todos a las furgonetas y se van para el escenario.
Aún emocionados por el encuentro con Bruce, nos dirigimos hacia la Casa de Campo paseando tranquilamente, mientras vamos hablando distendidamente sobre todo lo referente al grupo. Una vez en la entrada del recinto donde se va a realizar el concierto nos encontramos con mas foreros y también conocemos a otros aficionados llegados de todos los rincones de España. Un forero nos comenta que también ha podido hablar con Bruce y que éste le ha comentado que para el año que viene tienen previstas cuatro fechas en España. Veremos si es cierto o sólo era una declaración de intenciones.
Como aún falta un rato para que abran las puertas y estamos algo sedientos, nos dirigimos en masa a unos chiringuitos relativamente cercanos a tomar un refrigerio. Al volver alguien grita: ¡¡Que os atropella Mike!!, mientras nos adelanta un imponente Mercedes, con Mike de copiloto. Al unísono todos nos ponemos a correr para que no se nos escape en la entrada al recinto. Llegamos justo cuando baja del automóvil. El propio Mike abre la puerta trasera del vehículo de donde sale su hija pequeña Ambha, con un vestido realmente espectacular, y una amiga de ésta. Mike, que va vestido con americana, tejanos y una gorra blanca, se nos acerca sin más dilación y empieza a firmar todos los autógrafos que le pedimos. Incluso algún afortunado consigue hacerse una foto con él. Cuando alguien le sugiere que vuelva a trabajar con Brian, Mike pone cara de sorprendido, pero unos instantes después responde que están hablando de ello. Se acaban la firmas y Mike entra al backstage.
Las puertas ya están abiertas, así que nos ponemos en la cola y accedemos al recinto. Como aún falta un rato para el comienzo del concierto, nos dirigimos a la zona del village, donde entre animadas conversaciones comemos un poco para reponer fuerzas después de tantas emociones.
Faltan escasos minutos para el inicio del concierto y cada uno se dirige a sus localidades. Estamos en platea y parece un buena zona, tal y como podremos comprobar durante el concierto.
Son las 10 de la noche. El recinto está lleno a rebosar con un gran ambiente y la temperatura es agradable. Los músicos van saliendo al escenario colocándose en su sitio, y de golpe empieza a sonar la versión original de Surfin’. Mike y Bruce hacen su aparición por la parte izquierda del escenario ante el fervor de las gradas, alentadas aún más por el propio Bruce levantando las manos hacia arriba.
Empieza el concierto…..
Setlist:
01 Surfin'/Catch a Wave
02 Hawaii
03 Little Honda
04 Do It Again

Desde la platea el sonido es espectacular con todas las voces claramente audibles, así como los instrumentos. Mike está en plena forma vocal a pesar de algunas de sus últimas actuaciones donde su voz no sonaba del todo bien.
A destacar los limpios y académicos solos de guitarra de Scott Totten, y la energía que imprime John Cowsill desde la batería.
Bruce se deleita con Disney Girls (ésta muy próxima a la original) y God Only Knows.
Nos sorprende la inclusión de Kokomo tan pronto, ya que generalmente la tocan la penúltima o antepenúltima.
Como sorpresas rara vez tocadas en directo destacan: Cool Head Warm Heart, The Ballad Of Ole' Betsy ó Heroes And Villains.
El concierto empezó a las 22:00 y se acabó a las 23:50.
---------------------------------------------
Suenan las ultimas notas de Fun Fun Fun. Se acaba el concierto mientras la banda saluda al publico. Nos reunimos todos en la zona de pie delante del escenario y comentamos las primeras impresiones del concierto haciéndonos algunas fotos de grupo. Decidimos ir a la entrada del backstage. Justo al llegar sale Mike mientras una auténtica avalancha de gente se agolpa encima suyo. Los miembros de la organización meten a Mike como pueden dentro del conche y éste arranca rápidamente. Seguimos haciendo guardia mientras la gente se va dispersando. Bruce y los demás músicos van subiendo a la furgoneta. Un miembro de la organización cierra la puerta lateral, pero acto seguido un par de tipos algo bebidos la abren pidiendo a gritos la salida de Bruce para hacerse una foto. Rápidamente aparece Tim, que si bien por la tarde hacía de fotógrafo improvisado, ahora hace las veces de guardaespaldas de Bruce. La furgoneta arranca con dirección al hotel. Los únicos que no se han ido con el resto de la expedición son Christian y su espectacular novia Mina, con quien nos haremos unos fotos de recuerdo.
Ya es más de la una de la madrugada y estamos cansados de una día realmente mágico, pero a la vez agotador. Nos despedimos. Con algunos nos veremos al día siguiente para cenar y hacer un karaoke. Otros por el contrario volverán a sus casas al día siguiente por mañana. Como siempre que nos reunimos ha sido un auténtico placer. Esperamos que pronto nos podamos volver a reunir con motivo de un nuevo concierto.

The Beach Boys Reunion.....
Despues de mucho rumores de reunión, ayer Al Jardine confirmo que este próximo sabado se unirá a Mike y Bruce en un concierto de celebración del centerario del nacimiento de Ronald Reagan. Tambien decía que Mike habia invitado al concierto a Brian.... veremos...
Este es el comunicado de Al:
"The Beach Boys will be performing this Saturday (Feb 5) at A Concert for America – A Tribute to Ronald Reagan. We played at President Reagan's 2nd inaugural and thought it would be appropriate to honor him for his centennial birthday celebration in light of our anniversary coming up later this year. Brian and I were both invited by Mike...more details soon on how you can watch this concert online!"
El concierto será muy reducido, unos 20 minutos, ya que actuaran mas artistas. se podrá ver por webcast.
Para acabar, un comentatio sobre el tema del propio Bruce en Beach Boys Britain:
"We're playing an extremely short set Saturday night (20 minutes) but the program is two hours long.
I'm glad we were asked to be there and it will be fun to play with Al. I hope Brian is part of this event......"
Un saludo.
