The Me Gustas "Quarantine Demo Wednesdays"

Like everyone else, we are stuck in insolation, but we are not letting that hold us back from creating new music and coming up with some new/fun things to do. We have a number of recording devices and this mandated stay at home situation has allowed us to go through these and we are coming across pieces we have completely forgotten. The thing about these are they are usually first takes, rough and unfinished. Chances are we will not revisit them again, but we wanted to share them with you.

We have them up on our Facebook page and also via our email if you are interested in giving them a listen. We missing playing live and we had big plans to enter the studio this summer, but with that on hold we thought this would be something to keep us occupied.

We know we are not in quarantine, but thought it sounded better than Social Distancing Demos! Hope you will give em a listen and enjoy them. Stay safe and until we meet again, reverb, set, go!

Girl Over Planet debuts with EP release

image

Link

As these tunes are catching on and getting played on radio shows and podcasts, I wanted to formally introduce ‘Girl Over Planet’ to the surf community.

From far inland Russia, they bring a precise and finely tuned melodious collection of surf tracks. A good example of how they’re taking surf music and making it reflect a regional influence is their cover of the Tetris theme song (it was originally a Russian folk song before used by Nintendo). This EP is a great listen, especially when we’re all stuck at home in quarantine. It’ll lift your spirits!!!

THE SURF GUITAR BOOK

After thinking about it for quite a long time, Martin Schmidt aka Rob Razorblade or The Incredible Mr. Smith finally did it!

He wrote a book about Surf Guitar that explains the style in details.
