Biography (From Facebook page)

" Dressed in black suits, dark glasses, and fez, Big Fez and The Surfmatics claim to have first hit the scene in 1960, broke up in 1966, and re-formed to bring the sound of the surf into the 21st century. The band includes Johnny Fez (who claims to be from the “Big Island” and is an indirect descendent of Don Ho…his aunt Heidi was Don Ho’s third wife), Donny Fez (former car wash attendant and waxing specialist who hails from the “Long Island”), JB Fez (Marine surfing instructor from “Paris Island”), and Mikey Fez (airplane pilot from “Fantasy Island”).

The Del Mars (San Francisco - California, USA)

Biography (From Facebook page)

" Bringing the beach to you again and again. Bill Rock founded the Del Mars in Berkeley around 1990. The group played nothing but surf instrumental covers from the Rhino Records Rock Instrumental Classics, Vol. 5: Surf. Bill hustled up a lot of gigs for the band.
The original members drifted away leaving Johnny Del Mar and a constantly shifting group. Johnny began writing surf instrumentals, “Party Wave,” “Rip Tide,” and after a false start at a studio at Sound Wave in Oakland Johnny recorded the two instrumentals at John Denn’s studio in Oakland’s Bridgeport Building with Robert David and pressed it on blue vinyl. The studio had a board that had belonged to the Eurythmics and a 16 track Otari reel to reel.
Years later Johnny recorded a full length CD named for the title song, “Surf Monkey.” This included remakes of the instrumentals on the single. The CD is now in its second pressing. In 2016 Johnny recorded tracks at Prairie Sun Studio, started mixing the instrumentals and basically ran out of money. The last work at Prairie Sun was December 28, 2017. Since March, 2018 the recording has been on the back burner at Bill Williams’ Hayward studio but with only a few tracks left to reassemble the recording may be heating up again. "

The Zillatones (Mui Wo, Lantau Island, Hong Kong)

Note: Could not find any live videos - must be a studio band or solo recording artist - anyone know?

Biography (From Facebook page)

The 'Zillatones bring you 1950s B-Movie Surf Rock from Planet Lantau. In 2004 a freak experiment to create the galaxy's biggest reverb tank caused an inter-dimensional portal to appear in the depths of the South China Sea, The 'Zillatones emerged and quickly acquired a vast selection of Hagstrom gear from a nearby cargo vessel. Their only means of returning to their home planet was to create a reverb field by getting everyone on Planet Earth listening to surf music!! In 2013, after mating with Earth-women The 'Zillatones were able to adopt human form and resided in Hong Kong disguised as part-time English teachers. A chance meeting with representatives from Sharawaji Records led to the production of an entire album. Today these shape-shifting reverb-addicted prehistoric space lizards retain a taste for twang, obscure tunings and a penchant for girls in bikinis.
