Go Marty, go! That's a fun song, especially when someone can tear it up like Marty does in this video. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. |

I have an acquaintance here in Michigan who completely by accident happened to be at this show, while vacationing with his family in SoCal! He still brings it up every time we see each other - he absolutely loved it! And he even remembers all the players in the band by name - impressive. So, are the Surf Rockets now kaput? Fantastic job not only by Marty, but by all involved! —Ivan |

That's great to hear Ivan! Thanks for that! It's kind of funny how 3 bands kind of fizzled simultaneously. Rob Woolsey and I, were in all 3, The Surf Rockets, The Detonators, and The Men of Mystery. It was a busy time. All of a sudden, Marty Tippens had to leave the bands. (Went back to College). That put a screeching halt to Surf Rockets, and Men of Mystery, then Ted Thompson had a beautiful baby girl, and he quit The Detonators. All 3 bands just went POOF! Gone! Then out of nowhere Mike Nisito, bass player from BANNED from the BEACH, called Rob and myself and hinted around about a BFTB re-union after a 10 year hiatus, and boom, here we are. ;D \ —Be careful following the masses.

Hey, my ears were burning! Thanks for dusting that one off, Billy (I'll get the check out to you in the morning) and for the nice words, Ivan and Noel. Billy, you and Rob were the real heart of that group and it's great to see you guys tearin' it up with Banned from the Beach. -Marty —"Hello Girls!" |

Hey Marty, you're a great guitar player for a drummer... OR .. are you are great drummer for a guitar player? |

You funny guy, Doug!...as well as ace all around musician. In celebrating the Billy and Rob pairing that has existed for almost two decades now, I wasn't casting you among the cold cuts. I look forward to seeing Neptune Cocktail soon, the demos sound great! -Marty —"Hello Girls!" |

Hey Martin, to your question, I can say with certainty that there's nothing like a great singer and I'm nothing like a great singer! Hope I get the chance to see you perform again soon. -Marty —"Hello Girls!" Last edited: Oct 21, 2014 15:40:02 |

Oh yes. By the way. I found this very, very, educational yoga video while viewing Marty's video. Oh yes. Very educational. I think I found our new Surf-a-go-go-dancer for the stage. ;D Be careful following the masses. Sometimes the "M" is silent........................... Last edited: Oct 21, 2014 21:43:10 |
