IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10331 southern Michigan	Posted on Jan 24 2010 04:25 PM A cool song! Let's see, Mastodon adding surf parts to their songs, Brian Setzer and Brad Paisley recording full blown surf songs, and now Midnight Oil guys forming a full blown surf band. It's nice to see that our little genre still gets some love and attention from bigger guys.... — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top

IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10331 southern Michigan	Posted on Jan 24 2010 04:51 PM Paisley IvanP Brian Setzer and Brad Paisley recording full blown surf songs I didn't know about that!! Thanks for the heads up; I'll be checking that out for sure. Looks like the year is off to a good start! Brian Setzer's is on his new album "Songs from Lonely Avenue" - it's called "Mr. Surfer Goes Jazzin'", and it's really good. (There's also an accompanying song called "Mr. Jazzer Goes Surfin'", which is much more of a jazz tune...) Brad Paisley had a mostly instro album called "Play" where he did a track called "Surf'n'Turf" or something - I don't have this, so it's strictly from memory.... — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top

I just checked out the Brad Paisley song, it's called Turf's Up. Pretty decent, sort of reminds me of Squad Car. — The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. Top

I missed this thread and I really dig their sound. Now I get to be a fan of Midnight Oil again (probably won't get to see them in my town this time though).

Richard Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 1683 Georgia	Posted on Feb 18 2010 05:15 AM I bet you can't eff with this band either. Seriously, how many other surf bands have there been with musicians that are extremely well known for other projects? The Heartbreakers/Blue Stingrays come to mind, and the guy from The Raveonettes/Tremelo Beer Gut too. — The Mystery Men? El Capitan and The Reluctant Sadists SSS Agent #31 Top

pointbreakspy Joined: Aug 24, 2006 Posts: 204 Newcastle... Australia	Posted on Feb 18 2010 08:58 AM This is BIG!! and for me it is close enough to see live. I can sense a major resurgence happening down under. I hope they get enough support to keep this going. Top
empty_glass Joined: Nov 30, 2008 Posts: 134	Posted on Feb 18 2010 12:20 PM Wow... maybe I missed this blog because I started one yesterday Anyway, to me it almost has to be good stuff because Midnight Oil is one of my favorite bands. Part of me would like to see Peter Garrett with them again for one more world tour but I guess this would be good as well. Midnight Oil ---> extremely underrated. Top
