Two Beaches, One Performance! Beach Boys Return To Airlie Beach

Get ready to ‘Dance, Dance, Dance’ as Australia's best and biggest Beach Boys tribute band surfs back to Airlie Beach for their 5th performance at the venue.

The band, consisting of five male members and one female, delivers a live performance where every member sings and plays their own replica instruments. Their attention to detail extends to their costumes, creating an authentic experience. The band also focuses on achieving a powerful wall of sound, ensuring their performance closely resembles the original Beach Boys records.
The Beach Boys Tribute band is Will Siska’s 8-year brainchild. The band promises an authentic Beach Boys experience from their performance. Will asserts, “People get a real Beach Boys experience, they can hear the songs as per the records.”
Will acts as one of the lead vocalists and on rhythm guitar.
With him is Greg, with lead vocals, Gerry as vocalist and the band's drummers, Michael as vocalist and lead guitar and Ian on bass guitar.
The crew also enlist the powerful presence and vocals of Anita, who is backing vocals and feature vocalist.
When asked what the band’s favourite song to play is, Will answered, ‘Don't Worry Baby’:
“It is the first song that the Beach Boys produced which had a big wall of sound and instrumentation and orchestrations.”
“That song has always resonated with me. It has this beautiful feel, beautiful harmonies, and beautiful vocals.
“However, Under the Boardwalk and Kokomo are massive crowd favourites. They just put this energy into the audience that is amazing.”
The band will be flying in on Thursday and will remain in Airlie Beach until Monday. They’re all looking forward to immersing themselves in the beauty of the Whitsundays during their stay. Will, in particular, is thrilled about the experience and has expressed his excitement about enjoying his time in the luxurious suite at ABH. Coming to a regional location is a different experience for bands who often play in big cities, but Will said the band love coming to play in Airlie Beach:
“I love playing regional gigs, because the people are very appreciative of a big band coming to the regions, because a lot of bands don't do that, it can be a bit financially difficult for regions to get big bands to come out.”
“We try and keep prices down as much as we can so people can still enjoy some real good quality live shows,” Will added.
Audiences can expect a lot of fun, nostalgia, great music, great harmonies and a great time:
“We always have a good time when we perform and that shows and people just get into it and have fun!”
“It's About Time”, you head on down to Airlie Beach hotel for some “Good Vibrations,” with the Beach Boys.
