In this episode of Biff Bam Pop! Presents! Andy Burns chats with the legendary Mike Love!

From Andy: No band defines fun, fun, fun more than the one and only Beach Boys. For nearly 30 years, the band have been one of my all-time favourites; I love everything from the surf and car music they created back in 1961 through their amazing pop classics like their defining album Pet Sounds and their epic pocket symphony, “Good Vibrations.” And that is just for starters. Go listen to excellent albums like Sunflower and Surf’s Up, Love You and their likely final effort, That’s Why God Made The Radio. There’s so much beauty throughout their fantastic catalogue.

The one constant in The Beach Boys for more than 60 years has been Mike Love, one of the group’s lead vocalists and co-songwriters. Working alongside his cousin Brian Wilson, Love had a massive hand in some of the most enduring songs ever. Love has been keepin’ the summer alive and the band on the road for decades, with the current iteration of the Beach Boys, which also feels longtime member Bruche Johnston, currently travelling across Canada for their Endless Summer Gold tour. This Tuesday, they hit London, Ontario, and play Mississauga, Ontario, on April 3.
