With all the nonsensical quarreling and entanglements which Von Kreep had to endure with a certain So Cal band for releasing that LP, he’ll be happy to know that there are still fans out there like yourself!

This was a pretty good comp. Great songs Lord Hunt! I have heared a little about this bad blood feud you mention. A good friend of mine told me of a very intoxicated Dave Klein confronting Von Kreep about something that had to do with the Ghastly's drummer, but no one knew what he was getting at.I think he more or less just really embarrased himself. Do you still hang out with Dave? What is the deal with the comp and the feud?

bigtikidude
yeah what band had a problem with the guy/lable that put out the comp?
and why? what was that all about?

I'm lost.

Bigtikidude, I apologize for not responding sooner. I was saddened to hear what was posted here. Doublecoil apparently has some inside information that I’m not privy to. I was aware of some conflict between the Ghastly Ones and O’Neil, the producer of that comp, and was shocked to hear what it devolved into. Anyway, it’s nothing I want to explore further as it’s really none of my business. I just hope for god’s sake these people get some help. Any further questions on the topic may want to be directed to the source, Dave Klein. I appreciate the positive feedback on the comp and hope we have the opportunity to do more like it with O’Neil in the future. He’s a great guy. Peace.

Hey yeah, what did happen to them? I guess they are just sitting back for a while. I had a chance to see them about 2 years ago in SF for a Halloween show, I wasn't able to go tho
Hey Greg, just wanted to say that I really love "A Fistful of Terror". Its my favorite tune on that Halloween Hootanany comp. And my favorite Bomboras tune.

Yeah, I think this Double Coil guy needs to chill out. Danny was just surprised that someone in a Surf/Instro group even had a manager. Hey this thread did run off into "What happened to the Bomboras?" that's OK, it also shortly went into Surfin' Bird

Seems a pitty to marginalize someone with such a long history in surf, but give a pass to bandwagon jumpers.

No, but it seems a pity to marginalize anyone who didn't come out of the womb with a Surfer's Choice LP. Sorry if any of us who got into surf after '94 have offended your sensibilities.

Ouch, someone just got Served!!!

If it makes anyone feel better, I know a certain personal manager that took a pedal to the head from across the room!

somehow I have a feeling that "personal manager" means psycho girlfriend,
but of course I could be wrong.
I don't know any of these people personally,

Darnitall Gregg... I looked that song up, it came out on a comp titled, Mr. Snail's Haloween Party. So, I listened to it online, and you sir are 100% correct... I did write that song. I don't think the recording they used on that comp is me, although it is possible. Sadly, I don't believe I ever registered anything, whether it be Invisible Men songs or Ghastly One's songs. In fact, I know a song I wrote for the Bomboras was loosley used as song for that other offshoot band. Shrug.

doublecoil, thanks for the kind words man. i'm pretty sure i remember that comicbook convention as Chuck Barris was there in his customized Barris Member-Only-Jacket. and i couldn't agree more about dave. listen to "love byrd" and count all the rolls... we used to make fun of him about it, but truthfully he's one of the best surf/rock drummers out there. it still cracks me up that he plays organ for the Ghastlys when he is such a superior drummer. (No offense to Norman.)

thanks for the compliment too, i'll bounce it right over to Gregg whom deserves the credit for molding me into a somewhat-decent player. the amount of time and effort he put into working with me was far above the call of duty.

This Is My Boom Stick! Shane and I certainly LOVED that movie. (Trivia: did you know Garret Immel of the GO worked on that movie?) So it was partially a love of that Bruce Campbell attitude and also a reminder to those who gave us grief of how we felt about them. hahah, that album is a bundle of hate pointed at just a few faces.

Actually, it was just Garrett who worked on that one, (as my memory and IMDB serve me) he did the makeup for the scene where Bruce gets cloned, but Garret is very professional about that stuff and I never heard him say a bad word about anyone he worked with. He also got to stuff Marky-Mark's junk in a prosthetic penis for Boogie Nights, but that story is best told by Garret himself.

i wish i knew the answer to your question, sadly enough dave and i haven't spoken in many years... maybe gregg knows?

Here's a question for whoever can answer it, was that song "David's Moods" influenced by a Santana song called Soul Sacrifice? It sounds like it was, just wondering.

Greetings FenderShowman63, David's Mood was some obscure cover song that Jake had on tape and brought into practice one day. I can't remember the artist but it's not the Dave Lewis / Kingsmen song. Paul's being modest - he surpassed me on guitar in 1999. And ditto what doublecoil said: Come Get Some is one badass album.

Bringing the subject of Rob Zombie back, I heared that in addition to The Bomboras and the GOs that The Invisible Men were going to put out records on Zombie A Go Go. Any truth to that?
