The Beach Boys at The Royal Theatre, Canberra
It’s hard to believe it’s been over 52 years since The Beach Boys were introduced to the world with their first major hit. Founding member Mike Love and life member Bruce Johnston entertained a capacity crowd in the nations capital for over two hours last night.

Love cemented his stage presence from the outset with an opening 7 song medley including ‘Surfer Girl’ and ‘Surfin’, to name just two.

His very suitable successor comes in the form of Lauren Hammel (Fear Like Us) and with Damo’s blessing “she’s a bloody shredder!”

Northlane have put their own spin on a cover version of Tame Impala’s ‘Let It Happen’.

The studios are best known for the John Peel Sessions which included live session recordings by artists such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie.
