Overcome by backyard chillness and dreamy pop history, people relaxed on the ground too. Squeezed between warm bodies on a couch, I fell half asleep except for the music entering my consciousness—meditating on a Beach Boys cloud by way of bands that didn’t announce themselves. Tonight, the bands sought to be one with the Beach Boys. They became appendages of the Beach Boys, fingers, toes and instruments with minds of their own. Victoria Williams stands out from the bunch. Her voice crackled like a crispy chip entering a baby’s mouth. The Chapin Sisters’ harmonies took on those of the Beach Boys with ethereal results. Charlyne Yi tried playing the saxophone for the first time in middle of her keyboard solo.—A solo focusing on the keys that trigger a man’s voice saying “3” and “4.” Dustbowl Revival did a street jazz edition standing in the audience. The tuba resonated as a compelling interpreter of 60s surf, sand, and girls. Leslie sans Badgers played with house band Parson Redheads as back-up, but My Pet Saddle, Red Cortez, and many others took full reins of the sound and transformed the songs with karaoke musicianship skills. All the money raised goes to the Sweet Relief Musician’s Fund in Vic Chestnutt’s name, which is a nice thing to do because it sucks to be a poor artist. It sucks even more if you get sick and don’t have insurance. It sucks that the world is mostly set up wrong. Those who missed the show also missed Beach Boys as The World Record, Hi Ho Silver Oh, Blank Tapes, Big Search, Whispertown, and The Tyde. They also missed comedy between long band breaks by Steve Agee (best), DJ Dougg Pound (second place), and Howard Kremer (…his joke revolved around the fact a band was on stage…).

In honor of the Tribute To The Beach Boys, WHEN YOU AWAKE made L.A. RECORD an exclusive mixtape of songs those guys notoriously covered. Say thanks to Jody, who has established a sweet union between tribute shows and charity events.
