When you upload videos, it automatically puts them in order at the end of the post and doesn't allow the option to add text between them. Besides, once you click the vid to play it, the vid title appears. —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

True, the option to put the titles above the video doesn't work when using the attach feature, but you can always make a small list in the body of the post with the band names and song titles, since not all videos do actually show that info. I edited my earlier post to do just that, nothing special, but not a bad idea in my opinion. —-Damon. |

Another group from very early on was The Surfmen. This band featured Sax player Armon Frank who would leave to join Dick Dale in late ’61 and Ed Chiaverini and Tim Fitzpatrick who would became the more widely popular Lively Ones with the addition of Jim Masoner in ‘62. They issued four 7inch singles that included these two songs El Toro and Malibu Run. Enjoy! —BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! Last edited: Feb 11, 2012 17:27:56 |

Cool, by chance I met Armon Frank last summer. He's a real nice guy. He said he wrote Paradise Cove but was not credited. I believe he also said he played on Dick Dale's Miserlou. |

It's eerie how similar Malibu Run and Paradise Cove are. —Jeff(bigtikidude) |

Armon Frank performed at the 2010 convention in the legends jam. That was something! —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Too logical and simple - it'll never work. Here's Bob Vaught and The Renegades' "Surfin' Tragedy." Totally unlike the rest of their stuff (which was trashy sax-led R&B), but a pretty cool diversion: —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

This one just came up on the Ipod.... I really dig The Centurians version of "Intoxica" originally done by another pioneering group, The Revels. The Centurians from Costa Mesa, CA who started in '59/'60 are best known for their awesome tune, Bullwinkle Pt. II which is of course in Pulp Fiction. But check out Intoxica. Good stuff! —BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! Last edited: Feb 15, 2012 15:12:58 |

Another big fave that are respected by fans but unknown to the rest of the world is The Original Surfaris. They had The Surfaris name first but lost the lawsuit to the Glendora Surfaris after Wipe-Out became a big hit. They started out in '60/'61 and cut some really mean sounding surf. Here's Surfari, Bombora, and Exotic. The first clip has some great footage too and the last tune "Exotic" makes me wanna break stuff, haha.
