Surf Music

Yeah. Whenever I go cruising on my 46" surfboard style I will always have surf on.
The Ventures, Dick Dale, The Surfaris, The Trashmen, The Tornadoes, David Marks and the Marksmen. They're all great. Anyone else listen to this?
(Beach Boys don't count)

I listen to dick dale every once and again, good ****.

Dick Dale is my mutherfukin hero. He plays every year on or around my birthday and this will be the first year I'll be of age to go, thank god he didn't quit touring or worse. Im also a huge fan of MOAM, Deadbolt, The Bomboras, Satans Pilgrims, Boss Martians, Space Cossacks, Agent Orange,Ventures, Los Straightjackets, The Fathoms, all that good stuff. As soon as we find a practice space, my surf band is gonna try to play some shows.

Yea, First songs I learned to play were to the "play guitar with the Ventures" records. Love the above bands... The Mermen too!

Rickabilly, you rule!!

Laika and the Cosmonauts are good too

Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!

I look at that friggen box set every time I go into tower, but I can never bring myself to spend the money.

Beach Boys Sssssssssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccckkk kkkkk.
Check out The Sandblasters and The Penetrators. Rockabilly groups like Brian Setzer and the Reverend Horton Heat kick out some decent surf tunes also. Rev Horton Heat rocks, just flat out rocks. Nothing like tunes about fast cars, old cars, classic cars, boozin', bimbos', getting bombed and did I mention broads, sex and drinkin'? Goddamn gotta love it!!!!

I've seen Rev. Horton Heat live, they do kick some serious a$s.

**frank** · 03-03-2005 12:15 PM

rev gets on my nerves. I've seen them a few times, and I dont know why or what it is about them.

Man or Astroman used to be awesome. I havent seen them in a while but whenever they added vocals to the mix it all went down hill. I remember one guy used to run around with a tv on his head

**Rickabilly** · 03-03-2005 03:11 PM

Moam is on indefinite hiatus, which really really sucks. They are one of those bands that maintains repeat listenability while progressing musically. I equally enjoy the straight up surf of the early stuff (destroy all astroman) to the surf alternofuzz (made from technitium, project infinity) to the spaced out experimental weirdness of the last 2 records. I have to say they are probably on the top of my list of all time favorites.

BEACH BOYS ROCK

Sure, they're not like real surf music but they're still cool

I'm now getting into the surf stuff. I've been listening to some atomic mosquito

**TheMarstrander** · 03-04-2005 09:23 PM

Glad to hear it. I just wondered because everyone I've asked at my school says surf is "the gayest thing ever", "gayer than classical", "crappy no-talent guitarists" and "what? surf is music?"

yeah, im gonna go see Dick Dale when he comes to Californy next

**Directive0** · 04-28-2005 09:56 AM

You guys should check out a little canadian group called Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet... they did all the music for Kids In The Hall comedy sketch show..

i'm with you, mellow. granted, you don't actually want to SURF to their stuff... but they're timeless. one of the great early rock bands. i'm not ashamed to say that i jam out to them.... ON VINYL.

yah, sometimes, I haven't done it the past two weeks cause I've been busy. But often times I'll just turn it on in the day cause I have friends who can't keep a music library at work so they just tune into mine. I will accept requests... but I guess you'd need to know my library for that.. hmmmm
