SamDBL Joined: Sep 19, 2016 Posts: 225 Tampa	Posted on May 11 2018 08:37 PM I'm always waiting to hear about that break through surf band that's going to bring the genre back to the masses. Lol. People seem to be posting about this band, non-stop, on social media. And I see they have a ton of 'likes'. Not that that means anything, but I have my fingers crossed for them. Killer band. Anyone seen them live? How was it? — Guitarist for Black Valley Moon & Down By Law Top

shake_n_stomp Joined: Jan 09, 2014 Posts: 600 Vancouver BC	Posted on May 12 2018 09:41 AM Kudos to them for bringing the 60s go-go and beehive instro garage rock aesthetic and making some cool, chill sounds. Not all instro/surf has to be Dick Dale machine gun riffage at 175bpm. Hopefully, they'll make it to the west coast some time. I haven't been able to go on the Hang-ten Hangmen travels to Toronto for the festival shows so I have yet to take in one of their live shows. I wish them all the success. I remember having to take my daughter somewhere and while we were driving, Toxic played on the radio. Once I heard that short exotic riff I got her to write down "make a surf version of Toxic" on a notepad but I never pursued it. Glad the Surfrajettes did! In fact, I have a similar story of "White Rabbit", but I never pursued that either once I heard their version. So, I certainly do enjoy their taste in music! — Lorne The Surf Shakers: https://www.facebook.com/TheSurfShakers Vancouver BC Canada Top

PolloGuitar Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 5080 San Francisco	Posted on May 12 2018 11:30 AM More than 3 million views of their video on Facebook definitely makes them the most "seen" surf band in a long time. If you were their manager what would you do? It's almost impossible to foresee or manufacture a meme. They probably should've ve had a studio recording of their version of "Toxic" ready for download before they released the video. Strike while the curling iron is hot. Something they should think about before their next video. Right now, they should be trying to get on TV shows. Long term? They've said that they are a surf band and won't get a singer, so that will limit them. But, if they keep it up, they could have success on the level of Los Straitjackets, I think that's about as far as you can go without vocals. They have a careful and well thought out presentation, from the mid-century look and sets, and they are fine players with a sense of humor. I hope they don't change their sound or cave to what some producer or label thinks will make them a success. Their instincts are right on. It's going to be fun to watch their career blossom. — Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp Buy Spin the Bottle @ Bandcamp My Blog- Euro Tour Blog Pool Boys on Spotify INSTAGRAM Frankie & The Pool Boys on FB Pollo Del Mar on FB DJ Frankie Pool Boy on North Sea Surf Radio Last edited: May 12, 2018 18:48:18 Top

Will be interesting how many people will come if they do a USA tour. They have played a few USA one off shows. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

I went on to watch several performances and I think they are great. They really get surf music, the whole vibe is fun, and they have an authentic sound. Top

JObeast Joined: Jul 24, 2012 Posts: 2762 Finknabad, Squinkistan	Posted on May 13 2018 04:33 PM I like this tune and a lot of tunes Britney Spears sings. Richard Thompson did a great cover of ‘Oops I did it Again’ some time ago. Her tunes have a heavy dose of perversity and dissonant hooks that work well for surf. Maybe she could kickstart her sagging career by hiring the Surfragettes to back her. tonybologna wrote: I was just reminded of the first surf version of "Toxic" I heard.

JObeast Joined: Jul 24, 2012 Posts: 2762 Finknabad, Squinkistan	Posted on May 14 2018 05:52 PM But not the least likely. They don’t even let singers like her write their own tunes. I think those two Swedish babyboomers who produce all of Madonna’s, Taylor Swift’s and Katy Perry’s songs also compose Britney’s.
