So, this is just to discover and find surf rock and instrumental bands who have issued x-mas albums.

I know the Ventures have at least two, as well as Davie Allan & The Arrows, and Los Straitjackets.

Anyone know of any else?

(I know it's early to be thinking Christmas, but Surf rock Christmas albums are pretty badass)

I believe Los Straightjackets have a Christmas album. I know they were on David Letterman, a few years back, performing a surfed up version of "Here Comes Santa Claus," complete with their go-go dancers in mini skirted "Mrs. Santa" outfits. It was that performance that turned me on to Los Straightjackets.

I think it was "Sleigh Ride" on Conan.

I have that on VHS tape somewhere.

The Martini Kings have a christman album called "the Kings of Jing-a-Ling". It is not surf but it is swingin'. Other than the Charlie Brown christmas album it is the only christmas album I own.
