A few others there as well, enjoy.

these guys came to fresno years ago, slept on our floor. AMAZING show, Brent Tommy and Richie, are the nicest guys you will ever meet. Brent played a home-finished Gretsch with a mile-thick sparkle finish, and I helped him solder the electronic back to working condition. HE is by far the best guy at the bigsby tremolo... THe next night they did a show with Greenday down in LA... Fresno had no idea what hit it.

I really like their Endsville CD, but I might have to give the other stuff another listen. Musical tastes evolve and listening to some of these youtube offerings has me thinking that there are some gems I forgot about on their other albums.
Endsville is one of those albums that I find myself playing routinely, great music to play in the car while driving. Almost every long trip I take sees it getting played at least once.
I did see them in Seattle years ago at the Off Ramp, great show, more punk than surf in a way but it seemed to fit the crowd.

Saw these guys at the HBISM (the surf museum in Huntington Beach, CA) a long time ago.... Fun show!
Smart Bomb on the "Secret Agent S.O.U.N.D.S." is what I first heard by them...
...where are they now?

I know that Brent and Ritchie are still playing in one band or another (?) Graham-not so sure. I echo all that was said above. They stayed and played with us more than a few times. Sweetest guys in the world, definitely punky, and fun shows. Oh and they taught me what "gaunch" is in Canadian.
