2 biopic movies about the Beach Boys

Worth a mention in the article I think;

Summer Dreams: The Story of the Beach Boys - TV Movie (1990) - www.imdb.com/title/tt0100715/

Love & Mercy movie (2014) - www.imdb.com/title/tt0903657/

Feel free to add more biopic movies if there are some. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.210.174 (talk) 21:20, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Candix bankruptcy

I've removed the claim that the success of "Surfin'" bankrupted Candix as they released nine more singles after it, finally closing their doors late summer 1962. Andrew G. Doe (talk) 19:14, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Brian and Al as current members

Brian and Al haven’t toured with the band for over 26 years (except during the one-off reunion), so I think it’s fair to say that Brian and Al are still shareholders of B.R.I. but aren’t members of the band anymore. It happens in a lot of bands where members aren’t physically in the band but remain as owners of the band. Also Brian is as far as concerned done with music.
