Shout out to any surf/psychedelic instro space rockers out there ?
I'm in Brighton on brisbanes northside. I havent gigged in a year or so (originals bands) but I think its time to take steps towards forming or joining in with anyone surf instro orientated. Practising alone without a live gig goal is near impossible for me and the blues jams are fun but done.
So anyone keen to work on a set list? I play 6 string, lap steel and harmonica.
Just throwing it out there.

Good luck with this Waterman, I'd love to see a surf band in Brisbane. I'm in your area but have no musical skills what so ever to help out.

J_T get a theremin!! , you can contribute with any tool you think, just jump in the water and you will most likely swim well.

If you want a true dearth of surf musicians I still say nothing compares to the state of Delaware, 40 miles of white sand beach and the total supply of surf players consists of me. That and I just bought a Moog Etherwave Theremin, you gotta get one, much too cool.

Not much surf music in the 'surf town' of Byron Bay. If you get some gigs together let us know I would come up to Brisbane for it. (weird - 10,500 beaches in Australia and almost no surf music!)
