Beach Boys founding member Al Jardine is bringing his iconic California sound to Australia in 2025
Beach Boys founding member Al Jardine is touring Australia with The Pet Sounds Band, featuring Brian Wilson's acclaimed touring musicians. These high-energy shows celebrate The Beach Boys' greatest hits including "California Girls," "Help Me Rhonda," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "Surfin' USA," and "Good Vibrations."
After moving to Hawthorne, California, in the mid-1950s, Al met Brian, Carl, Dennis Wilson and Mike Love to form The Beach Boys in 1961. As guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, he sang lead on the #1 hit "Help Me, Rhonda" and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, and in 2001, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy.
"I've been gathering up the troops - Brian's excellent band," Jardine says. "We're all just dying to get back to work, and we're going to have some fun,” other classics include “I Get Around,” “Sloop John B,” and “Fun, Fun, Fun”
Beyond the classics, the setlist includes deep cuts from The Beach Boys' 1970s albums including radio singles and fan favorites." Al has even expanded the 58-second "Ding Dang" with new verses - "I hope that doesn't offend fans, but it really is hilarious."
The Pet Sounds Band represents more than nostalgia – it's a living continuation of a musical tradition. With Al's son Matt Jardine contributing vocals that channel the spirit of classic Beach Boys harmonies, this new formation bridges generations while maintaining the authentic sound that made the originals so special. Music Director Darian Sahanaja of The Wondermints rounds out the ensemble.
Delivering an experience that carries on in the tradition of Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds shows and The Beach Boys' fun fun fun spirit, these concerts promise an essential musical journey for fans seeking to experience the full spectrum of The Beach Boys' artistry, from radio favorites to hidden gems – a concert experience not to be missed.
