So let me mention a band that although has some surf spots it´s mostly the kind of 60´sTVserialsoudtrack stuff that was called EUROBOYS and are from Norway . I must say their debut album JET AGE i find reaaaaaally amazing.I Think one of them played guitar in TURBONEGRO, a pretty-well known band from that coutnry. and you can find @ http://www.myspace.com/kareandthecavemen you´ll find the answer to the change of name there....hahaha and there is a band from Mexico that we played with a couple of years ago that really dig live called TWIN TONES that plays a strange kind of mix between Ennio Moriccone(THAT´S MY STUFF;THAT MOVIES) & surf rock + Rockabilly played at a 100 mph.Their cd was sold in a DVD box with a cover like a Spaghetti western movie that was awesome! you can find it at http://www.myspace.com/twintones check them out enjoy! Surf on! Top

CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on Apr 02 2009 09:46 PM I'm pretty obsessed with 60s spy soundtracks and exploitation cash-ins. Aside from that, the usual suspects - eleki, Link Wray, Davie Allan, the Japanese fuzz-punk instro bands that got some recent discussion in the "What'd you buy recently" thread, etc. Oh, and especially The Ventures. tormentos So let me mention a band that although has some surf spots it´s mostly the kind of 60´sTVserialsoudtrack stuff that was called EUROBOYS and are from Norway . I must say their debut album JET AGE i find reaaaaaally amazing.I Think one of them played guitar in TURBONEGRO, a pretty-well known band from that coutnry. I really like that album - I'd been a huge fan of surf for a few years and a huge fan of Turbonegro for a few years when I heard Knut Schreiner had a previous band. I bought the album without having heard any of it and my jaw hit the floor. Never thought there'd be a connection there, that's for sure. Great artwork, too. Some of their later stuff is cool, but it's way more 70s lite-psych. -Warren — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top
