We are indeed a tight trio and have a long history together. But I'd love to meet up and see what's up. — www.myspace.com/theendlessurfari CHECK IT OUT!!! Top
Spud Joined: Jul 23, 2007 Posts: 666 Oz	Posted on Dec 05 2007 03:47 AM Hey, no problem and welcome to the site huh! I don't know about you, but I was searching for 'surf' music and stumbled over this place a few months ago. Good music, great topics and a decent bunch to hang out out with, you can't ask for much more. If you want to have a bash, PM me and we'll hash something out. Top
theendlesssurfari Joined: Nov 30, 2007 Posts: 15 Central Coast Australia	Posted on Dec 05 2007 04:27 AM For sure, I'm only new to the site. Been into surf for years but only just got a group together. This site is awesome cause like you it's hard to find like minded surf people around here — www.myspace.com/theendlessurfari CHECK IT OUT!!! Top
Spud Joined: Jul 23, 2007 Posts: 666 Oz	Posted on Dec 15 2007 07:53 PM echobeach Spud down like a lead balloon. Isn't that similar to what Keith Moon said to Jimmy Page when he formed the New Yardbirds I think you're right, he came up with a variation - Led Zeppelin - the rest they say is history. Top
Waxhead Joined: Oct 07, 2007 Posts: 43	Posted on Dec 18 2007 08:14 PM Great to see people linking up on surf music in Australia. Anyone near Wollongong?, I'm just south of there. Back to Midnight Oil and Surf music, their instrumental 'Wedding Cake Island' may have helped put them into the genre, a superb tune and worth covering. The Living End are another awesome Australian band and do a great Hoodoo Guru song 'Leilani', it has an excellent surf sound. I loved seeing Hoodoo Gurus live, one particular gig had them and INXS and sooo many other bands playing an outdoors gig at Engadine, 1984-85 I think. The wind was blowing when Hoodoo Gurus came on. They had their mohair jumpers on, hair blowing everywhere. INXS came on and it poured. Cruel Sea and Dan Rumour who are also on the Delightful Rain compilation Spud mentions also have a strong surf link, with 'Down below' sound so good. The Sunny Boys were another Australian 80s band that had a few tunes with a surf influence. I wonder if it is that so many Australians live quite close to the coast and that the surf culture is quite strong? Waxhead Top

Spud Joined: Jul 23, 2007 Posts: 666 Oz	Posted on Jan 04 2008 03:46 PM Hey Marty, I'd sure like to get together with someone else who can play surf music, nothing much happening around here at the moment. I suppose you're planning a 600 mile trip about as soon as I am this year huh, well you never know how these things work out. Good luck from a 48yr old Jazzmaster playing rhythm sometimes lead player. Cio dude Bruce Top

Fuzzmeister Joined: Jan 06, 2008 Posts: 163 Canberra, Australia	Posted on Jan 16 2008 02:01 AM Sorry i don't live in Brisbane, but as this thread has become a bit of a roll-call of SG101 members in Australia, i'd like to join the party! My name is Alex and i have a surf/instro band in Canberra. We have a myspace at http://www.myspace.com/spacepartysurfband at the moment it only has a few demos on it so i haven't been plugging it too much, there will be new recordings on there in the next couple of weeks. — http://www.reverbnation.com/spaceparty4 Top
Waxhead Joined: Oct 07, 2007 Posts: 43	Posted on Jan 20 2008 08:31 PM Hi Alex, Good to hear from you. I live down on the South Coast at Gerringong. Seems like we are all seperated by a few hours. Cheers Top
Fuzzmeister Joined: Jan 06, 2008 Posts: 163 Canberra, Australia	Posted on Jan 27 2008 05:15 AM Thank you - Gerringong, i'm sure i've been there, near Kiama isn't it? We have some new songs on our myspace now: http://www.myspace.com/spacepartysurfband The first 2 songs are new stuff we recorded at a friend's studio, just mixed them today. — http://www.reverbnation.com/spaceparty4 Top
Waxhead Joined: Oct 07, 2007 Posts: 43	Posted on Jan 29 2008 05:30 PM Hi Alex, 10 minutes south of Kiama. I'll look forward to checking out your myspace. Have fun Waxhead Top

theendlesssurfari Joined: Nov 30, 2007 Posts: 15 Central Coast Australia	Posted on Feb 06 2008 05:45 AM Noooooo! Have another go. It worked for me. I'll have some more up really soon. Can't wait to have the whole thing finished. It has been a lot of fun recrding. — www.myspace.com/theendlessurfari CHECK IT OUT!!! Top
oestmann Joined: Mar 06, 2008 Posts: 584 Adelaide	Posted on Mar 31 2008 07:49 AM Add me to the Aussie -who- likes- surf -guitar list - from way down South Australia; let me know if you're passing through! I was very very fortunate to see 'live' Midnight Oil, Hoodoo Gurus, Hunters and Collectors (even got to be a roadie for them one night - friendly people), Paul Kelly and Mental as Anything...and The Atlantics of course (the new line up). I don't think I knew at the time how 'classic' a lot of these bands were. There is a real strong 'surf' element in all these bands. I think it's in our beach psyche (I hope that is how you spell 'psyche') — Tim O oestmann guitar tunes clips Top
Stormtiger Joined: Dec 12, 2006 Posts: 2683 Ventura, CA	Posted on Mar 31 2008 11:35 AM http://www.reverberama.com.au/index_long.html Jim Moginie has this site as well as Jimmoginie.com. He is currently on tour abroad. You guys ever heard of Ebb Tide & The Shorebreakers (members from Midnight Oil - Jim Moginie, Rob Hirst & Martin Rotsey in their alter ego surf band featuring Wayne Goodwin)? I recently listened to Red Sails in the Sunset again and the song Bells and Horns in the Back of Beyond, which I now recognize as hugely influenced by the Atlantics. Top

Waxhead Joined: Oct 07, 2007 Posts: 43	Posted on Mar 31 2008 10:28 PM Hey Oestmann, Welcome. We seem to be moving further from Brisbane with each email. Delightful Rain has some great musicians and covering a variety of genres of music. A worthwile DVD to purchase. Spud tabbed a tune from Delightful Rain (by Les of the Jerseymen??? Going from memory which is pretty bad) and its in the tab section. Have you seen GT Stringer down in Adeliade? Cheers Waxhead Top
oestmann Joined: Mar 06, 2008 Posts: 584 Adelaide	Posted on Apr 01 2008 01:29 AM Waxhead Thanks for the welcome. Forgive my ignorance but I don't know GT Stringer? As we say in Australia "please explain?" I don't get out much nowadays ;) Delightful Rain was a great project. I was privileged to go to the 'Rips and Riffs' concert in Nov 07 where a few of the artists played. I didn't know them all but really enjoyed the show. I did see Spud's Tab (Denverman??) but haven't tried it as yet. I don't have the Delightful Rain DVD but I watched the TV version, which was really nice. I'd just like to point out that after being the only (sort of) surf-guitarist in my circle of muso friends; that I feel like all my Christmas's have arrived on this site! Do go on... — Tim O oestmann guitar tunes clips Top
