Since the 1960s the American pop rock band The Beach Boys represented the best of summer. They gained popularity for their laid back harmonies and lyrics celebrating the easy beach and surfing lifestyle of southern California with albums such as "Surfin' USA", "All Summer Long", "Summer Days and Summer Nights" and "All Summer Long".
The reformed band, which includes founding member Mike Love and Bruce John will perform live in Cape Town at the GrandWest Grand Arena on 6 and 7 December, 2010, where they will perform many of their hit songs such as: I Get around, Good Vibrations, Help Me Rhonda, California Girls and Kokomo.
Over the past 49 years, the band's accolades have included more US top 40 hits than any other US rock band (36), being listed 12th on Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, and the number one-selling American band of all time by Billboard.
The current band consists of founding member Mike Love on lead vocals and Bruce Johnston on vocals and keyboards, supported by Christian Love on guitar and vocals, Randell Kirsch on bass and vocals, Tim Bonhomme on keyboards and vocals, John Cowsill on percussion and vocals and Scott Totten on guitar and vocals.
