I set up a show with Frankie, King of Hawaii and The Delstroyers tonight and I couldn't go because I am hooked up to a machine that makes noises when I am bad. So Ferenc and the band came and played a whole set in my front room. Unreal generosity from Ferenc, Karen and the rest of the band, I was speechless.
The ReR Megacorp have released an 8 CD boxed set of experimental surf music: ALAN JENKINS The Experimental Surf Music BOX.
This may not necessarily be of interest to surf purists.
