Sounds like a classic movie scene science fiction revival 50s 60s & 70s, full of intensity and energy, to fast to futuristic melody all entities terrestres. Mega-Tones (megatons) is a band South of Mexico City taking their training in mid-2012 (June) being of the few instrumental bands charged science fiction that currently exist in Mexico, making the sound remembrance experimental space, garage, and rock.

Just seven days of launching the second track is scheduled Ibero 90.9 FM in one of the most important stations nationwide in Mexico UILI Damage (LOS ESQUZITOS leader, one of the most important bands in the scene instrumental-surf in Mexico) has shown interest and confidence band before announcing good for future projects including them in his radio program, now Mega-tones being part of the programming in RAW POWER 90.9FM IBERO as Mexican band playing between groups such as Sonic Youth, Nofx, La Polla Records, Holy Cobras, Carbonas, Cause for Alarm, Youth Brigade among others.

Recording two tracks in serving as producer Ivan Almanza with a fantastic result and quite out of everyday sounds, a clear sign that the - rushing sound combined with film gives a fairly powerful nuclear result.

The Sneaky Tikis return to the Valley floor after a bunch of performances in the foothills and join Sacramento's own Lava Pups for a night of instrumental surf and garage rock.  The Sneaky Tikis are four precocious young musicians (ages 13 to 19) who were mentored by Dusty Watson and Paul the Pyronaut.  They combine the styles of Dick Dale and Slacktone to classic and modern surf songs.  The Lava Pups put their spin on traditional and original surf and garage music with some irreverent fun.  Shine is an intimate, comfortable venue that features coffee, teas, beer, wine, and food.  This promises to be a fun night!

February 16 at 8pm.

The Surfing Pharaohs will be preforming at The Keystone Lounge in Flint MI. Sat. Feb 9th. Check us out at Facebook for more directions.
