Brighton Beach Boys

Biography

“Amazing tribute”
The Guardian

Get the ‘Good Vibrations’ flowing at your next event by booking the Brighton Beach Boys, the best Beach Boys tribute band this side of the Atlantic. The Brighton Beach Boys have been going strong since 2002, entertaining crowds with their surf songs and Beach Boy bops. The Beach Boys are also available for online events.

Formed in 2002 in Brighton, UK, this ten-piece band includes vocals, keyboards, guitar, bass guitar, organ, accordion, drums, percussion, congas, timbales, saxophones, flutes, glockenspiel and French horn.

They have played on and around the South Coast of the UK for the many years now, from Dartford in Devon to Herne Bay in Kent. They play over 40 Beach Boys songs at the last count. Recent additions to the live set include ‘Surf’s Up’ and ‘Catch A Wave’.

In May 2005 they performed the whole of Pet Sounds live at the Komedia, Brighton. In May 2006 they performed the Pet Sounds and Sgt Pepper complete albums live in St George’s Church, Kemp Town, Brighton as part of Brighton Festival Fringe. For this show they were augmented by a string quartet, an extra clarinet/sax and a tabla player.

In May 2007 they repeated the Pet Sounds/Sgt Pepper experience in St George’s Church on two nights to huge public acclaim. They won two awards for this show, an Argus Angel for “artistic excellence in the Brighton Festival”, and a Latest Festival Award for “Best Music Event”.

The highlight of their career to date has to be when Stevie Kalinich, lyric writer of three Beach Boys songs from the sixties, passed them a mobile phone just before they went on stage in Herne Bay, Kent in August 2006. On the other end of the line was Brian Wilson, who said: “I hope you’re gonna do California Girls!”. Luckily, they were!

The Brighton Beach Boys exist to bring Brian’s music and the sounds of the Beach Boys into the world, and what a marvelous job they’re doing.

Book Brighton Beach Boys to bring the sounds, sun and style of the Beach Boys to your next event.
