Posted on Nov 17 2008 05:00 PM so say your cruising the web, and come across a band on myspace or their web site, and really dig the tunes. and you think people here might wanna hear/know about them, post the link. Robi of the Bitch boys told me about these guys. pretty good stuff I gotta say. enjoy. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=188501980 — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Nov 18, 2008 10:35:20 Top
MadScientist Joined: Jan 17, 2008 Posts: 2188 Atlanta, GA	Posted on Nov 17 2008 05:19 PM I actually just ran across these guys as well.... they are FANTASTIC. I'm really impressed. That MySpace really is a great tool to find new bands. You can band hop from page to page to page all afternoon and find some serious gems. — Jamie SSS Agent #181 Cartoons drenched in reverb!

JakeDobner Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 12159 Seattle	Posted on Nov 17 2008 05:20 PM I must honestly say I find out about 90% of the bands I listen these day over the web. It is just a huge database of related artists and sound samples and videos. It has allowed me to avoid radio at all times. Although there is a certain lazy aspect about not having to try hard to discover new bands. The negative is outweighed, I believe, by the gift of music. You can find out about many more bands that you wouldn't have known about before the net was a viable option for discovering music. I credit blogs first and foremost to the discovery of new music, not myspace. Top

bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25600 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Nov 17 2008 05:31 PM Tim, thanks for the link to them, I remember seeing vids of a few Mermen covers they did a few years back. I really like these guys alot. what really surprised me was, When the Los Venturas from Belgium were here at my house, they told me that Sebastian the Guitar player of the Tritones used to be in the Los Venturas. do you know if they have a real cd for sale, or just downloads from I tunes? thanks again, — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
UnsteadyFreddie Joined: Feb 28, 2006 Posts: 2979 Hell\'s Kitchen, NYC	Posted on Nov 17 2008 05:42 PM the beauty of having so many many 'friends' in MySpace, and having 2 internet radio shows, means I get a mix of music from so many places bands I find by accident, bands that are 'friends' with other bands I dig, or websites like PHIL DIRT'S REVERB CENTRAL, http://www.surfmusic.com/, http://www.nesmasurf.org/, http://www.surferjoemusic.com/, http://www.infinitetadpole.com/bands1.html, http://music.aol.com/artists/surf, http://www.oberlin.edu/staff/thinders/Surf.html, http://www.surfguitar101.com/, etc etc etc also many artists approach me b/c of the radio shows, reaching out with the hope of getting their stuff heard, and further exposed the genre, for those that dig it, has so many sources to learn more....

bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25600 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Nov 17 2008 07:06 PM sorry to Hi jack my own thread ha ha ha. but I wanted to mention this guys myspace. The Surf Kamikaze from Germany. http://www.myspace.com/schamchusai I don't think he's in a band, but he had a media player that plays some great songs. Most I have but, there is some great new stuff that I haven't heard of. I don't know how long it plays for. and how often he changes the songs. but its really worth checking out. and it has a pop up song title,band label. and a pop down set list. I would assume hes a lurker here but not sure. if so please chime in and say hi sir. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Nov 17, 2008 19:16:48 Top

Ron-Rhoades Joined: Aug 19, 2006 Posts: 958 Kekaha, Kauai, Hawaii	Posted on Nov 17 2008 07:47 PM I came upon this MySpace yesterday: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=391773360 The first beat from the first song made me smile!! It's Sandy Nelson and The Sin City Termites which include Eddie Angel from LSJ on guitar and Billy Favata and Remi Gits from Torturing Elvis on guitar and bass. Sandy Nelson had a huge influence on me as a kid drummer and it's great to see him still doing it. There are some great blogs on their page too which tell the story. CHECK IT OUT IF YOU LIKE SANDY NELSON Aloha you surf dogs..... R-R — The TakeOffs "Kauai's Only All-Instrumental Surf Band" http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-TakeOffs/312866840587 Top

After all, its the music it was meant to play. Top

IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10331 southern Michigan	Posted on Nov 18 2008 01:09 PM Great thread, Jeff!! I'm really blown away by the Space Rangers - top-notch Euro-surf! I've gotta get this CD. I also really enjoyed the Tritons, though they're definitely HEAVILY influenced by the Mermen - I don't think I've ever heard another band sound so much like them. Talk about cavernous reverb! The new Sandy Nelson stuff is fun, too, though maybe a bit repetative. But still worth checking it out, I think, and Eddie sounds really good. I had no idea Sandy Nelson was still active. Very cool. I'd recommend Joao Erbetta: http://www.myspace.com/joaoerbetta Joao has been on SG101 on occasion but I'm afraid his thread may have gotten buried. He's primarily a Brazilian jazz guitarist with chops out the wazoo, living in DC (but shortly moving to NY). His new CD, "The LA Sessions" was recorded by Pete Curry (who also played drums on it), and is one of editor's picks by Art Thompson in the new Holiday 2008 issue of Guitar Player magazine. There are only a couple of 'true' surf songs on the CD, the rest being a mix of rockabilly, latin, country, jazz and all sorts of other rootsy influences. A very diverse CD, and Joao plays like a madman! And the songs are very cool, too. The lead song, Viva Waimea!, is a surf monster! I'd also recommend the Sidemen from Germany: http://www.myspace.com/sidemen Excellent rockabilly-tinged surf. — 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

skeeter Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 2063 Virginia, USA	Posted on Nov 18 2008 02:02 PM I came across this band Killer Filler on the internets a while ago and ended up swapping CDs with them. It's Chris Bess's (former keyboardist from S.C.O.T.S.) band. They kinda look like they might be surfabilly or something like that, but their CD is actually very cool spy/loungy. Excellent keyboarding and guitar pickin' as well as great songwriting too: http://www.myspace.com/killerfiller — Paul Atomic Mosquitos Bug music for bug people is here! Killers from Space Top
