The Good The Bad honour Tarantino's 50th Birthday

In honour of the glorious basterd Quentin Tarantino on his 50th birthday and on reflection of his extensive groundbreaking work to date, The Good the Bad made a parody of the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds, inserting Tarantino film references as Christoph Waltz presides over his 50th birthday celebrations. Consider it a ligh-hearted gift to Quentin on his special day.

Also as a special experiment TGTB looked at rescoring some less obvious scenes from Kill Bill, Django Unchained and Death Proof with some TGTB music, as a tribute to Tarantino and his inspiration. You too can enjoy our tracks set to QT's films and even download the three songs for free at our website. Enjoy!

Check out Surf Noir

Surf Noir started playing surf instrumentals when they were seventeen, but now they're old and wise and play songs with vocals as well. Surf Noir think that they invented the genre Surf Noir, and sound like Queens of the Stone Age has invited Dick Dale and Chris Isaak to join the band. Kind of. This is dark, but fun music.

Check us out.
