When I read thumb/hand muscle I was thinking right hand for some reason, obviously it's his left hand. Oops! —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 |

Thank you very much! Interestingly enough, when I first started to work on "Bomb Stomp" (which was when I was with my previous band) my intention was actually to do something Bambi Molester-ish. In the end the song took off in another direction (and was also edited for Los Apollos a bit), but I think there is still something left from the original inspiration in the second theme and the buil-up part in the middle. But before I can suggest "Landlocked" I will now have to take another look at "Super Stock" by Satan's Pilgrims since our bass player would like to play that one. We already tried it a little a while ago, but didn't really manage to get the atmosphere right. Probably because it is an Astronauts-style arrangement and we are just a trio... —Los Apollos - cinematic surf music trio (Berlin) |

Been working on surf versions of two non-surf songs. Always was a big Portishesd fan, and thought this one might make a cool, dark surf tune. And this Redd Kross punker from '82. —

That's great! All the best with it. I love that song. Ewa is still too hard for me. I'm getting these ready to play these this year. Phantom Mustang. Theme From Endless Summer. Bunch of early Beach Boys songs. Besame Mucho on Bass VI. And about 5 or 6 really obscure Ventures songs. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

Great idea with doing a Portishead song, Mpoppit! I love that old Redd Kross record too. |
