This was a recording me and some friends did about 10 years ago. We set up live in the sudio and recorded 5 songs in 5 hours..Never played together but we were all in seperate bands. We called ourselves "The Wavebenders"had an album cover and all, anyway enjoy..more to come from that "surf saturday" Song is Calhoun Surf..Not sure of original band name but the Ventures did a version also. http://soundcloud.com/harlinbrookes/calhoun-surf Harry |

You recorded 5 songs in 5 hours without having played together before? You just setup, rehearsed a bit, and recorded live while you all played, right? And you sound this good? I can hardly wait to hear the other 4. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. |

That's pretty darn awesome. You based it off the Ventures version, yeah? I like how you (and they) they do that key change towards the end. Plus, your solo was perfect. Nothing overplayed - just perfect! —To Boldly go where no Tiki has gone before... |

I know Danny wrote it! Ha. But The Ventures covered it live and then recorded it for their New Depths album. On Danny's version with Los Straitjackets, it stays in the same key for the whole song. The Ventures added a section that modulates up into a different key (and stretches the song out another 30 seconds by adding a solo section). I was commenting that this version seems like it was based on the Venture's version - rather than the LS version. —To Boldly go where no Tiki has gone before... Last edited: May 18, 2013 10:29:26 |

Yes, It was based on the Ventures version from New Depths. I knew it was recorded before the Ventures just didnt know what group. Thanks for the info Brian, Also thanks for the compliment ArtDecade.. Last edited: May 21, 2013 07:20:22 |

hbrookes! Why don't you make a band (or you have one)? I'm a "home player" now, and it's killing me, no volume, no interaction, no audience original compositions (low-level demo stuff /out of tune, etc) myStuff not my best, but i don't like to be in a musician community without anything to show |

It was recorded by Danny's band The Overtones before Los Straitjackets. http://twintone.com/projects/8018.html —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Sorry, not trying to hijack your thread, I just think it is interesting to hear all the different versions. Raybeats version: —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Yeah, I think the Raybeats version came before the Overtones. Brian wrote: — Paul |

Paul, I don't think so. The Overtones version was first, then it was rerecorded by the Raybeats, and then finally by Los Straits. And then of course eventually by the Ventures! (Is there a greater honor for any surf song than to be recorded by the Ventures??) —Ivan |

Curiously Danny doesn't mention explicitly recording that song with the Overtones in the Guitar World article, just that he wrote it then. SG101 == home of obsessive pedantic nerdery —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |
