cosmonaut Joined: Apr 02, 2019 Posts: 339	Posted on Jan 10 2021 04:50 PM are there many bands that play surf music, but really muck with time signatures and progressive song structures? I love a fender into a reverb unit and those lovely surf drum beats and fills, but my attention span is horrendous these days. I realize the driving danceable rhythms are a huge part of the surf music equation, but I would love something a little different. Top

Not sure if that fits your needs, though. i do love the mermen for sure. when I played instrumental music I tried hard to write in 3/4, 7/8, other shifting time signatures with weird subdivisions. kept my brain focused. would love to find more. or, y'know, try to make some myself. i miss living near my old drummer.

They played here at the convention back in 2014 and for a band with math like tendencies, the crowd really loved them. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo I am now playing trumpet with Prince Buster tribute band 'Balzac' Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19348 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Jan 11 2021 11:23 AM Daikaiju is pretty progressive but you can still hear the surf influences (the occasional use of the surf-beat and tremolo picking for example). I'd start with their Phase 2 album. https://daikaiju.bandcamp.com/ — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

Not exactly Prog, not really Jazz, no Math-Surf, but a very fresh take on Surf Music. I like it a lot: The Break, Church of the Open Sky — Boris Bond @ Bandcamp Last edited: Jan 14, 2021 02:29:40 Top
wipedoutnyc Joined: Feb 10, 2021 Posts: 234 New York	Posted on Feb 10 2021 01:23 PM @cosmonaut, we may not be quite as experimental as you're hoping for, but my surf band really pushes the genre in the direction of punk and even has some metal influence, all while using super clean guitars. You might dig it! https://open.spotify.com/artist/4nBtxEYkPQwYtQAYWlTJLU?si=LfEFyOGqQleTZLDHKXGaxg Top
