It's for sure that Eugene, Oregon is not the center of the surf music scene. But there is one group of musicians in Eugene trying to keep the traditional surf sound of the 60's alive. We are the Men From S.U.R.F. (secret underground retro fraternity). Love to know if there are any other N.W. surf bands around. If so, give a shout out. SG 101 handle is montecarlo71. Check out our website at menfromsurf.com.
Thanks

Nice to hear that there a few surf lovers in the N.W. Thanks for the replies. There is a good chance The Men From S.U.R.F. will be playing a gig later this summer. Would enjoy meeting all of you. I'll put out a post on the SG 101 message board when we find out the date.

There are a few surf bands playing in Portland (including The Insanitizers!). The Planet Crashers play shows every now and then. Wavesauce is surfy + theramin band. Satan's Pilgrims play one or two local shows most years (rumor has it they're coming back again this summer).
I think we (The Apollo Four)are probably the surf band that gigs most in Portland. We had a good show last week at Dante's in downtown Portland, and we have a few car shows lined up for summer.
