This showed up in my email inbox today The last entry is a short blurb on the Surfrajettes EP. It starts with "I am about to piss off all the surf dorks yet again," but press is press, right?

It is very cool that they are mentioned! Love that band, they rip and indeed have brought some much needed attention to the genre in recent years. Hell, even my 62 year old Bee Gee's lovin' sister knows who they are, and it's not because of me!

Ha more than anything I'm amused that our militancy left an effect on her. In the article she linked it was a bunch of garage groups called surf. No qualms whatsoever with The Surfrajettes though.

"better suited for the retiree" That would be me. What the writer may not comprehend is that all because the outside is all beat up and wore out doesn't mean the mind isn't full of life in ways that many never get to achieve. Surf is an expression of what the voice can't always convey.

Her condescension did succeed in mildly irritating me, but I consider the source. The reaction we have seen to Surf Music doesn’t seem to be confined to any particular age group. If there is any difference, I would say that younger audiences seem to be more impacted by hearing Surf than audiences that are older. The last his we played, I would venture that the only people who had Surf in its earliest presentation, in the early ‘60s, were the band members and two friends of the drummer; and we were just barely old enough to have been exposed to Surf in that era.
Rather that trying to pigeonhole the demographics of the Surf audience, I would prefer to point out that this is well-conceived, well-arranged and well-executed Surf Music. This is not a novelty act among Surf bands; these are competent musicians whom more than appreciate the nuances of Surf.
