My review. Exclusive pics and links on my blog page Kilaueas A new Kilaueas album is always an anticipated and warmly greeted event. They’ve had a long career and earned well deserved love for their over the top live shows and consistently high-quality recordings. Their international touring has helped spread the legend, and Ralf Kilauea has big personality, whether he’s combing his hair mid-song, being an MC at the Surfer Joe Festival or pounding schnitzel with a Fender while wearing a bunny suit in YouTube videos. In social media, he’s outspoken and not afraid to take on surf music’s sacred cows or lampoon elitists. Following Ralf’s lead is an unbelievably talented and tight unit with longtime colaboraters Tom Kilauea on guitar, Jaque Kilauea on bass, and for the first time on a Kilaueas long player, Perzi Perzborn on drums. Perzi is a veteran of the German alt rock scene, and has toured the world over with his band Plan B. He is solid, sure-footed and inventive, as are all the guys. The sense of humor The Kilaueas exude has a way of coloring the band’s music, which bubbles with optimism and unexpected delights. Just look at the song titles and you’ll know these guys keep a positive perspective. Musically, one thing that immediately sets The Kilaueas apart is that the second guitar, rather than playing a straight rhythm pattern, will often play a repetitive riff behind the lead, and engage in frequent call an response with the lead. By not mucking up the sonic space with constant 8th notes, there’s room in the arrangements to hear subtleties. Another trademark is the brevity and focus of the songs, not a shred of unnecessary fluff here. I didn’t review all of the 17 songs here (yes, you get your money’s worth!) but there’s isn’t a dinker in the bunch, this album is a blast!

Wow! Years ago I spoke with Alex (Faide, Los Twang Marvels) when he lived for a short time in Berlin. We talked about surf music productions. He also meant that a big problem for today´s surf music is the often grabby productions. So this keeping in mind I (we) wanted to have a real good production for this album! Also having the recording in mind I bought my white 1963 Jaguar at the beginning of 2018, which brought all my sound expectations! (at last I played this 63 Jag on the complete new album) ok for today. more soon. —Twang cheers! Ralf Kilauea |

Oddly enough, I literally just bought this album yesterday on Bandcamp, and it sounds awesome! Great job! By the way, wouldn't a "grabby" production lead to more Touching of your Alien? Just asking |

The Kilaueas! – Touch My Alien CD An old friend (whom I had met personally only once in my life – in Hamburg - at the first Dick Dale concert in Germany back in March 1995) did ask me to order the first and latest release by The Kilaueas! Ok, soweit beste Grüße
