If Frank and The Beach Boys got together and did a Super Session album, it would be a gas.
From Mike Love
Every summer, my grandparents would rent a house on Balboa Island. They had the house next to Bob Hope's. I've been going down there all my life, to that whole area.
There's the historical part of The Beach Boys' music; it's pretty incredible, pretty vast and pretty varied too.
You have to be careful not to get overexposed.
Some people are denizens of the studio. I'm more of a denizen of the live appearance. I love the live thing.
You can't sustain a fan base on a great catalog alone. You must take your music directly to the people.
The studio part, to me, can be pretty laborious. You're inside for hours on end and can be pretty frustrating to get the sound you hear in your head to come out of those speakers.
I actually have heard of acts who only do their new album, and don't do their hits. I've never been in that mind set.
Everybody has their own appreciation of the Beach Boys, depending on where they're coming from with their musical tastes, so we tried to be representative of all eras and of everybody in the band and their contributions.
The Beach Boys was a family hobby that we turned into a profession. We're very blessed.
