I was searching for mermen footage on youtube and this band popped up and was intrigued because i like the Rubinoos. One of their members had a credit on the Aqua Velvet's Nomad album.(? i think that was the one). After a quick search on the internet i didn't really find out much about them. They filed the song under a surf keyword, anyone know anything about em? Either way it looks like it'd be an interesting show!

This clip reminds me of an idea I once had. Picture this: a surf band with everyone dressed like those sand people from Star Wars.

Allan from the Mermen told me to check this out. He's playing bass on it, but has absolutely no recollection of doing so, even after seeing it. This was some time back in the mid '80, it was just a one-off kind of gig.
I really like it too!

I couldn't tell by looking at this video, but if the drummer was Don Spindt, he was the drummer in the Rubinoos and the original and long time drummer for the Aqua Velvets.
Is that Allen on bass in this clip? Looks like a tall skinny guy...

Brian,
Somewhere on YouTube there is a clip from Family Guy where Peter is trying to conduct a choir of those guys (Tuscan Raiders). It's HILARIOUS.
