The lineup is set to include Al Jardine, Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and possibly guitarist David Marks. To tell the truth, I am more excited about the Trashmen playing shows now, or the recent shows by Man Or Astroman?, but still, this is pretty newsworthy.

I’ll be heading down to Seattle tomorrow for their appearance at the Triple Sip wine tasting/dinner/concert fundraiser for KEXP radio. I didn’t think I’d be able to make it, but thanks to Victor Vector, I’ll be enjoying a fine Cabernet while listening to “A Mouthful Of Exhaust” and “U-Uranus”
