Los incendiarios is a band from Argentina. They are formed at the beginning of the 2019 pandemic in western Neuquén Looking for a surf garage sound in his own way to understand and experience it. All this experience resulted in a first EP entitled "My dream is to know the sea" which consists of 6 own compositions of the band recorded in bike studios and mastered in crude studio by Gonzalo 'pájaro' Rainoldi
Enjoy!

While looking for a foto (which I couldn´t find) I discovered a magazine from March 1995 in a free magazine (55.000 copies) called "Sonic Press" - Hamburg at Night. I believe I got it from Hermann Reuber who was one of the two agents that booked Dick Dale for a gig at the Markthalle on March 26th, 1995.
I was there like many many other fans of Rock ´n´ Roll and Instrumental Music who came from all over Germany to Hamburg. The concert was gigantic and while on the way home in a car our chests were still vibrating - pure Dick Dale Power Sound.
What I didn't realize back than was the the gig in Hamburg was announced as "The concert of the month" !!! For surf music fans like myself it was the concert of the past three decades - for the first time to be at a concert of the king of the surf guitar himself - DICK DALE.
I remember 17 years earlier in March 1978 Jim Pewter asked me if it would be good to send Dick to Germany and Europe. I replied that he is not that well known in Germany and a concert tour must be prepared. Jim added "meeting djs, shaking hands and so on".
Did you know that today is a special day? It’s the 9 year anniversary of the the world's number 1 surf music station and what an incredible nine years it has been! It’s hard to believe that even just nine years ago there was no radio station dedicated to surf and instro. In July 2013 we made that a reality, for the first time ever, with new bands being broadcast shoulder to shoulder with established acts.
The number of bands in the surf community has flourished too! We would like to thank all the listeners, bands and labels that have supported us. Don’t forget we are donation supported and you can financially support us with a donation or a StreamAd (which is even better if you are a band or label).

The ChuGuysters take you on a journey of 7 stories that tell a little about them and their home: where after the First Warning you are waiting for a Double Trap, where to meet the unknown we will need to accelerate to Fourth Space Speed and encounter the Six Ghosts of the Past, arrange an Escape in Fifth Gear, and resist the unknown and mystical number Seven, but all evil and trouble dissipate when the Third Roosters sound.
All funds from the album will be donated to the needs of Ukraine.
