Thanks for the lead on an interesting band. I am really digging their tunes. Anyone know where to get a proper discography of there material and where there CD's can be bought? Amazon seems to only list the the MP3 downloads and the more I look the more material I am finding with no idea how big their catalogue is. Cheers —I am not obsolete, I am RETRO.... |

Alot of the time, you can get their CD's from www.doublecrownrecords.com In the past 3 or 4 months, he's offered 4 different titles for sale, new. Last edited: Jun 29, 2012 10:15:32 |

Their early stuff is pretty experimental, kinda electronic meets surf. The Phantomatics on Facebook |

Don't forget to mention 'Messer für Frau Müller" (which is the same band). — |

If this isn't the sweetest video ever, I don't know what is. Messer Chups rule! Davidphantomatic is right about their early stuff. Its pretty crazy & experimental. But the last few releases are a lot more surfy (and cool). Heretic Channel is my fave album of theirs, but there are 2 versions of the album. The first version (which the song in this video is from) doesnt sound as cool as the second version to my ears. I think it was re-recorded and re-released or something. Their releases get a little confusing. Also, the second version has a cool song about a fight between Bruce Lee and Christopher Lee. LOVE IT! Last edited: Jun 29, 2012 11:23:50 |

Ha, I was just listening to Messer Chups while checking this thread. I really dig a Surfin Bird mash-up they did (there are several versions only one of which I really like) I have the Zombie Shopping album which contains liberal amounts of Vincent Price samples and horror themes. https://www.facebook.com/index.php?lh=9353f9155b5ff32e14c998495fd00da4&#!/rich.derksen.7 |

Did I put this post in the Gear forum? Oops. Fritz, yes, that's it. I remember hearing it first on the "Rare Surf: Vol. 2" comp that had The Nocturnes, The Revellaires, and a few others. Thanks. Messer Chups are indeed one of the coolest bands in the world, and I agree with the comments about the weirdness of their early stuff. Some of their stuff is very atmospheric and vibey, (I know those are somewhat nebulous descriptors) which I realize more and more is what most of my favorite tunes (surf/instro or not) have in spades. I think capturing some kind of ambiance, the ability to create something that's real evocative in some manner, is what separates some players and songwriters from the pack. The Mystery Men? |
