Under the Covers With The Tremolo Beer Gut

UNDER THE COVERS WITH... THE TREMOLO BEER GUT

Album out 10th October. Concerts this autumn

“They are here to put the URF! back in surf! They love tremolo, they love beer and they've got guts!”

Denmark’s - no, let’s just say it as it is - the world’s leading surf-orchestra is back with a new, old, album.
The Tremolo Beer Gut is known for doing everything in the old-fashioned way, but compared to most other
bands within the genre, they have always insisted on stepping out of the very schematic and rigid conventions
for surf-music. From the very beginning, it has been film-music and surf-elements, which are reflected
in the more contemporary music that has been the inspiration for the band. When The Tremolo Beer Gut
started on the music scene in 1999, it reverberated around the world’s surf forums: A new band was in the
midst of reinventing the genre backwards. A lot of reviewers on fanzines noted that: The sound is 100%
authentic old school, but the Tremolo Beer Gut writes fundamental original music, which takes the fast
track of the often reactionary songwriting that characterizes the genre.

Marty Tippens plays "Going to the Ventures Dance Party"

Marty Tippens writes:

Rather than work on one song, last April I started to work on an entire Ventures album. It's from their Fender years and my version can be heard by clicking this link.

Marty played all the instruments to the rare album "Going to the Ventures Dance Party". Follow the link to listen to the songs and be sure to read the fascinating album notes. Great job Marty!
