Just so happens that disc was in my car CD player when this thread started. I agree they're a great band and look forward to playing with them in August (in PDM)

Thanks Danny! We're looking forward to it too. And hopefully another trip north to play ( and hopefully with PDM or MBP). The last trip was years ago with The Lava Rats and CHUM at The Hotel Utah and Ferenc got himself a Detonators tshirt during the product toss. It pays to be tall!

wooza
And that version of "The Wedge" is waay too cool. Thumbs Up

Definitely ... Bill & Ted, any chance you guys are gonna start playing that one live again?

-Warren

That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.

Absolutely Warren!
Our slow motion "Wedge" version is on the setlist.
I can't wait till we all hook up together, party, eat carne asada and jam some surf music with my Surf Brutha's!
You guys rock!

cool deal,
I'd like to see the Dets the way you guys used to play back in the early 2000's

good times and goods shows back then,

The Detonators blow most surf bands out of the water! I've only see them a couple of times, but they do something that most bands in this genre don't do... entertain. They make you smile when you're watching them, make you feel good! Yeah! Isn't that what it's all about?

The Detonators are definitely a lot of fun to watch. I'm looking forward to playing with them again at the South Bay Surf Stomp later this month Rock

That sounds a lot like another band I know... The Pyronauts Very Happy

Thanks for the kind words Serpico!
Our lead guitarist your talkin' about is Rob Woolsey. It's an honor to play with him. He's a great guitarist and a super nice guy.

Billy plays some lead too, and all the above can also be said about him.

I love to see the Pyronauts play. I think they share the same ideals we do...which is surf music is a tough sell to non-surf geeks. "Normal" people start to glaze over after the same sounding songs in A Minor at the same speed are done by guys staring at their fretboards. Goofy surfed up arrangements of non-surf songs with some dorky stage moves and banter to involve the crowd go a long way. I have seen the Pyronauts play to the apre ski crowd in Mammoth and win over a bunch of yuppies North Face wearing skiiers with their own style of surf. It 's great to see. I am sure they wouldn't do as well in front of the lodge crowd by playing obscuro tunes only members of Surfguitar101 would recognize. I thing the Det's belong to that school as well. Not to mention the Pyronauts rip....

UnsteadyFreddie
and I will add that Billy has become a dear friend, and also an enthusiastic supporter of my endeavors

I am most grateful to him, and his band-mates

UNSTEADY FREDDIE

Freddie rules!
Are you comin' over for the SG101 bash in August?
It's gonna be off the hook!
Not to mention, Pollo, (with Danny Snyder), and Madeira, are gonna be in town to rip it up later that night
It doesn't get any better than that my brother. You can crash in the mo-ho, but I have to warn you. I snore.
Did you ever see chainsaw massacre? ;D

I just had to chime in here. The Detonators are in my top 10 favorites for surf bands. You guys are doing a great job.
"Liquid Chaos" is one of the best surf jams I've heard in years. The first time I heard it, I just had to learn it.

Thanks guys, and keep rockin'!

That's funny. Token in English has several meanings. I was using it to mean having one of a certain ethnicity to make a requirement. As in "he's the token white guy on the basketball team..."

Yes, and it can also be used in this context: That dude has been token too much off the wrong pipe Wink

Ahh ... don't fall for that. He's just messing with you. Twisted Evil
