Hello, I am new around here and I just wanted to introduce myself. I have actually been a member since March, but I have never posted. Shame on me!
I love Surf music! Some of my fav's are The Bomboras, The Nebulas, and of course Dick Dale.
I actually play in a country band, but at home I turn the reverb to 11!

Hey, we're coming down to Oregon next month. Check out our tour dates on http://www.myspace.com/theverb
It would be great to see you out there. I always enjoy meeting forum members.
I am curious about your country band:
Alt-Cou?ntry, Country-Western, 70s country/Countrypolitan, modern/Frat Boy country, or is is modern and decent?

It's actually a mix of new and old country. We play a lot of our lead singer's material, mixed with everything from Charlie Daniels to Garth Brooks. I hope it's decent...
The first one is my personal page...The song is a Southern Culture on the Skids cover. The others are band pages.

I don't really listen to most of that stuff, but it's fun to play. Plus, it's a gig...
The only thing we play that is even remotely surfy is "Runaway," which I sing and play the solo.
I would love to see you guys in Eugene. The Portland show is on my Mother's b-day...

Does your mom want to watch cute young well-mannered young men in suits on her birthday play surf rock? Then bring her out...
I think your tunes are definitely decent. I love good alt-country, and classic country but I abhor a lot modern country which is just as bad as gangster rap music.
Runaway is an awesome song.
I really dig all of your Teles. So awesome. And you are a youngster like us, totally awesome.

Welcome RumorsofsurF.
I like your avatar. The strap on my Strat has the same picture of Rat Fink.
It's an official Ed Roth strap.
Again, Welcome!!
