Someone else here will surely school me. 1st wave = 60s era surf bands 2nd wave = 80s & 90s surf bands drip = the 'pingy' sound spring reverb units make, listen to the Astronauts & you'll see. dip = the lowering of note pitch made when a tremolo is used splash = bad movie with daryl hannah, heh heh —Plus!

1st Wave - 60's era surf bands 2nd Wave - anything from 70s - October 14, 1994 3rd Wave - October 14, 1994 - present Drip- the sound produced by a Fender Reverb tank when hit with strong attack by a clean guitar Dip- less than a 1/2 half step tremelo bar movement Splash is like Drip, but even more excessive with the Reverb Hodad- if you have to ask, then you might be one Face Palm- Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp |

According to various web resources a Hodad is a guy who hangs out on beach but can't surf. Also some references to greasy haired dudes so i'm guessing they were Fonz types? |

Well...we had a wiki for a while, but no one was really interested in working on it. If a new guy just hangs out a while I think he'll pick up on most of the lingo. But a cheat sheet might be convenient, I suppose. There are already threads about the "wave" nomenclature and what hodad actually means. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Welcome jefcon1! I'm relatively new here too, recently deep diving in the world of Surf/Instro, and already learning a lot by osmosis. The great thing is so many of the active members are the real deal - records, shows, and in some cases decades of "living the dream." This community is a real goldmine of knowledge of the history, people, music, and gear. Take the time to read through the old threads - loads of great history & knowledge out here. I also HIGHLY recommend the podcasts. Surfs Up! —Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation |

I framed that question poorly; wasn't intended to be rhetorical. I get the Pulp Fiction "era" as a point of demarkation. Take 2... Did you reference Oct 14, 1994 as the marker date because it: was the US movie "general release" date (vs. previous screenings)? Or did the date coincidentally tie out with the soundtrack entering (or cresting?) on the billboard charts, since it was released a few weeks prior to Oct 14? Or did DD do a promotional performance of Misirlou somewhere on this day? ... just wondering if you've named the date of the 3rd wave of surf music based on the broadly viewable film release date or because of a milestone event around the soundtrack? (( Sorry to be getting to content in the suggestion box area! Just didn't want to start a new thread )) —Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation |

I love Pulp Fiction but I strongly believe there is WAY TOO MUCH EMPHASIS on it creating a so-called "third wave". I'll agree it caused a small spike in exposing surf music to the GENERAL PUBLIC for about two seconds, but by using the release of that film as a benchmark makes it seem that it's the only reason bands fron the 90's started playing surf which is definetly not the case. —BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! |

I suspect Ferenc citing that exact date was a bit tongue in cheek. It's generally accepted that the 3rd wave was a result of the movie. Not that lots of bands started after it, but that existing bands became more popular and entered into a more public consciousness. —Danny Snyder Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |
