Jeff,
Great to have you aboard! Listening to your track Icebeard right now. Like the hard hitting on the drums! Just bought me a download!

Thank You for the kind words and thanks for the purchase!

Hey Martin, welcome to SG101! If you've never visited here before, you will find a tremendous amount of support and information on just about every aspect of surf music there is. Before the next SG101 Festival, if you have the time, catch some of the shows that Big Tiki Dude is putting on at the Doll Hut in Anaheim, and the Surfing Sunday shows down at Huntington Beach.

Hello! Any other Indigenous Métis surf guitarists from the Yukon here? No?

My name is Patrick and I'm working on an album of original surf music to be released this year. I'm currently playing a 1972 Fender Mustang through a reissue Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb FSR Blue Flower edition with a factory Jensen speaker. I'm in the process of negotiating for a vintage Fender Jaguar (I'll let you know more if/when I get it!). I grew up listening to The Ventures, The Surfaris, The Chanteys, and The Astronauts, but have recently gone down the rabbit hole of modern surf rock acts such as The Babalooneys, Black Flamingos, Surfer Joe, The Surfrajettes, Satan's Pilgrims, The Men in the Gray Suits, Bradipos IV, and more. My ultimate goal is for my new record to open doors to play surf and tiki festivals alongside some of these exceptional "new wave" surf bands. I am also a festival producer myself and I have hired The Surfrajettes to come and perform at this year's Atlin Arts and Music Festival in northern British Columbia, just south of Whitehorse, Yukon.

I have added links to my music and various pages now. My band is called The Surfmasters and I'm going as 'Sunny Jake' (a play on my last name). I hope you enjoy it!

hello. not really new here, just visibly new. didn't feel i had anything significant to add until a discovery yesterday that provides access to all the tracks from the four spaghetti compilations [one million dollars label] as well as the morricone tribute. i posted about in surf music general discussion.

as a kid i first got into morricone [my first album was the good, the bad and the ugly], then the beach boys. in the seventies i got into alt-rock. in the early nineties i got into the original and second wave of surf rock. i'd started doing recordings in the late seventies, but in the nineties i got to work on what i called spaghetti/surf/punk: a lot of recordings, a definitive sound, but poorly developed.

i ended up getting sidelined for a long time, in part because my friend/collaborator kind of drifted away from the art, and because of my own detours that in hindsight were pretty stupid.

i've been working on some stuff the last decade. maybe something will come of it.

thanks padraig. where here would you recommend i post a music video?

Heyho! Here el Jevi.

I joined last week, searching for fresh data regarding the typical surfy setup. I am new into this genre, I ocassionally listen to some modern surf-punk bands but I spent the last weeks listening to 60s surf bands and that sound turned something on inside my brain. I specially got inspired by the Surfaris, the Ventures and the Atlantics so since last week I started playing the surf and am practicing the licks and structures they typically use.

Just one day after joining I ordered a surfybear metal. So, this is by now my surf setup: I connect the surfybear into my Marshall jcm900 or my Bugera amp with my Gibson SG. I still need some single coil guitar to reach the drippy tone without splitting the Humbuckers because it doesn't sound bright and punchy at all and can't get the drippydrip I think now I am aiming at a player 2 Jaguar to start (everything I played in the past were H-H only and I am really used to the normal switch system and the accessible truss rod, so...).

I am from Southamerica but currently living in Germany and playing in two bands right now: Blert (garage/punk) and Mythrandir (pagan metal). I am willing to start my surf side-project soon to improve more.

I am an Engineer, enjoy skateboarding, guitars, pistol shooting, motorcycles and open-water swimming.
