乐队资料

The Beach boys(海滩男孩)是60年代的美国迷幻摇滚乐队。

1966年5月16日,发表专辑《宠物之声(Pet Sounds)》。1970和1971年,乐队发表了两张专辑的合集。1993年,《Pet Sounds》在“泰晤士报百大专辑”排行中排在榜首。2003年,《Pet Sounds》在“滚石杂志五百大专辑”排行中排名第二。

2012年,乐队重新聚首,展开成立50周年的全球巡回演唱会,这是乐团超过20年来的首度巡回演唱会。6月5日,发表专辑《That's Why God Made The Radio》。

早年经历

The Beach boys出身于加州洛杉矶南方郊区,滨太平洋海岸的小镇Hawthorne。由于Brian对50年代的合声团体兴趣使然,三兄弟常一起练习合唱。表哥Mike Love也常不预期地加入他们,而Brian在高中的美式足球队友Al Jardine的参与,则使他们有了第五位成员。原定团名为Pendletones,在与Capitol唱片签约后,才正式改名为The Beach Boys。

演艺经历

1962年10月1日,Beach Boys发行了首张专辑《Surfin' Safari》,专辑内的同名单曲于同年6月发行后进入了排行榜前20名,专辑在发行后达到了美国公告牌二百强专辑榜的32位,并在榜单上停留了37周。

1963年3月4日,发售单曲《Surfin' U.S.A.》,后继了单曲《Surfin' Safari》的风格,初次进入了公告牌单曲榜的前十名。在这之后,于3月25日,专辑《Surfin' U.S.A.》也发售了,这张专辑在上榜后拿到了亚军位置。9月16日,发售专辑《Surfer Girl》,在专辑榜达到了7位,继续进入前十,专辑的同名单曲亦在单曲榜取得了相同的名次。10月7日,发售专辑《Little Deuce Coupe》。年底时,在1963年公告牌的单曲年终榜上,The Beach boys的《Surfin' U.S.A.》排在第二,而在全年发售的专辑中,《Surfin' U.S.A.》和《Little Deuce Coupe》分别为乐队首张被美国唱片业协会认证为金唱片和白金唱片的专辑。同一时期,乐队还持续展开着巡回演出。

1964年2月3日,发布单曲《Fun, Fun, Fun》,在公告牌上排名5位。之后,收录此曲的专辑《Shut Down Volume 2》在发售后登上专辑榜13位,虽未进入前十,但获得美国唱片业协会金唱片认证。5月11日,发布单曲《I Get Around》。6月6日,这张单曲在公告牌登场为17位。7月4日,这张单曲取代了Peter and Gordon的单曲《A World Without Love》夺冠,成为Beach Boys的第一首冠军单曲,并蝉联了两周冠军。另外在英国,这张单曲在6月登上了英国单曲排行榜的7位,为他们首张在英国进入前十的单曲。10月19日,发布演唱会专辑《Beach Boys Concert》,成为他们首张在专辑榜夺冠的专辑,并蝉联四周。11月9日,发售专辑《The Beach Boys' Christmas Album》,在专辑榜达到6位,由Brian Wilson和 Mike Love创作的单曲《The Man with All the Toys》也于同日发售,并取得了单曲榜的3位。

1966年1月,前往日本巡演时,Brian中途因为精神分裂不得不返回家中,歪打正着,他在家中养病时产生了创作《Pet Sounds》专辑的灵感。5月,他们发售了《Pet Sounds》,虽然仍然进入前十名,但却是他们从初试啼声后,第一张没有拿到金唱片的专辑。相反地,这张专辑却在美国之外的世界市场取得成功。在英国,这张专辑不但拿到了第二名,而且在NME杂志的年终票选上,他们也拿到了年度最佳团体。

1966年10月,发行单曲《Good Vibrations》,年底时成为他们的第三首冠军单曲。从1966年底到1967年初,Brian Wilson投入下一张专辑制作,原订为《Dumb Angel》,后改名为《Smile》的计划。当《Smile》的录音工作进入1967年春天后,Brian Wilson工作时数也减少了。之后,Brian Wilson正式放弃了这个计划。

1967年8月,发布《Heroes and Villains》,取了部分《Good Vibrations》的风格,未进入排行榜前十。同年秋天,团员们聚集在Brian Wilson住处所改装而成的Bel Air录音室,替《Smile》计划中的歌曲录制了另外的版本,并加入一些原创作品,最后便成了《Smiley Smile》这张专辑。1967年底,发行了回归基本路线的专辑《Wild Honey》。

1968年,发售专辑《Fiends》。一年后,Beach Boys改与Reprise厂牌签约。

1976年,发行专辑《15 Big Ones》,继续进入了前十名并成为金唱片。1978年,发售专辑《M.I.U. Album》。1980年,Dennis Wilson和Carl Wilson离开了Beach Boys,发展他们的单飞生涯。1985年,Beach Boys发行了同名专辑,以单曲《Getcha Back》再度进入排行榜前四十名。1988年,为电影《鸡尾酒》献唱的单曲《Kokomo》再度拿下排行榜冠军宝座。

The Beach Boys are an American rock band formed in Hawthorne, California in 1961. The group's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and their friend Al Jardine. They emerged at the vanguard of the "California Sound", initially performing original surf songs that gained international popularity for their distinct vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a southern California youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance. Rooted in jazz-based vocal groups, 1950s rock and roll, and doo-wop, Brian led the band in devising novel approaches to music production, arranging his compositions for studio orchestras, and experimenting with several genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic and baroque.

The group began as a garage band managed by the Wilsons' father Murry, with Brian's creative ambitions and sophisticated songwriting abilities dominating the group's musical direction. After 1964, their albums took a different stylistic path that featured more personal lyrics, multi-layered sounds, and recording experiments. In 1966, the ‘Pet Sounds’ album and "Good Vibrations" single vaulted the group to the top level of rock innovators and established the band as symbols of the nascent counterculture era. Following ‘Smile's dissolution, Brian gradually ceded production and songwriting duties to the rest of the band, reducing his input because of mental health and substance abuse issues. The group's public image subsequently faltered, and they struggled to reclaim their commercial momentum in America. The continued success of their greatest hits albums during the mid 1970s precipitated the band's transition into an oldies act, a move that was denigrated by fans and critics. Since the 1980s, much-publicized legal wrangling over royalties, songwriting credits and use of the band's name transpired.

Dennis drowned in 1983 and Carl died of lung cancer in 1998. After Carl's death, many live configurations of the band fronted by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston continued to tour into the 2000s while other members pursued solo projects. For the band's 50th anniversary, all the current surviving members briefly reunited for a new studio album and world tour. Even though Wilson and Jardine do not perform with Love and Johnston's band, they remain a part of the Beach Boys' corporation, Brother Records Inc.

The Beach Boys are regarded as the most iconic American band and one of the most critically acclaimed, commercially successful, and widely influential bands of all time, while AllMusic stated that their "unerring ability... made them America's first, best rock band." The group had over eighty songs chart worldwide, thirty-six of them US Top 40 hits (the most by an American rock band), four reaching number-one on the ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 chart. The Beach Boys have sold in excess of 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling bands of all time and are listed at number 12 on ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine's 2004 list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". They have received one Grammy Award for ‘The Smile Sessions’ (2011).The core quintet of the three Wilsons, Love and Jardine were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

Jardine, Marks, Johnston and Love appeared together at the 2014 Ella Awards Ceremony, where Love was honored for his work as a singer.Marks sang "409" in honor of Love, and Jardine performed "Help Me Rhonda". They closed the show with "Fun, Fun, Fun". Wilson's long time band associate Jeff Foskett also appeared, but not Wilson. On May 15, 2014 the touring Beach Boys (Love and Johnston) announced a tour celebrating "50 Years of 'Fun Fun Fun'", named for their 1964 single. The tour featured the addition of Foskett, who replaced Mike's son Christian.Foskett left Wilson's band because of encumbering responsibilities, and hopes that Wilson and Love's band would someday converge, believing that the two Beach Boys do not "personally have a problem with each other." As of September 2014, Jardine has maintained that a continued reunion with the Beach Boys is "really up to him Love ... He claims he didn't, that he fired us after the reunion ... He’s a brilliant songwriter, and unfortunately he has brilliant lawyers. We wish him all the best, but doggonit, you know, we’d like to be Beach Boys, too. There you go." As Jardine restates "Love doesn’t really want to work with us", biographer Jon Stebbins speculated that Love declined to continue working with the group because of the lesser control he had over the touring process, coupled with the lower financial gain, noting: "Night after night after night after night, Mike is making less money getting reminded that Brian is more popular than him. And he has to answer to people instead of calling all the shots himself."

In 2015, ‘Soundstage’ aired an episode featuring Wilson performing with Jardine and former Beach Boys Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar at The Venetian in Las Vegas.In April 2015, when asked if he was interested in making music with Love again, Wilson replied: "I don’t think so, no,"later adding in July that he "doesn't talk to the Beach Boys or Mike Love."On July 25, Love said: "If you get Brian and I, we might go to the piano. But with every band there are cliques that are formed with management, wives, agents, publicists — and the tendency is with some people is they tend to lionize or make one person more important than the others. ... the Beach Boys and all these bands that ever existed are a team. I learned as captain of my cross country team that you don't put a person down to get their best efforts, you encourage them."
