“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.

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!

Josh Hickman of The Noble Gasses is recording his second solo album, a spooky affair recalling the Hallowe'en-type kids' albums of the 60's and 70's. It is entitled "This House Is Haunted" and will feature the other Noble Gasses as well as members of Captured Aural Phantasy Theater. So, stay tuned!
West Hawaii Today announced on July 8, 2011 that the Solar Wind Surf Band was given the "Best Music" award in this years Fourth of July Parade, as well as the "Third Place Award" in the Float category for non-profit groups. There were 70 units entered in this years parade.
The band was on a flat-bed truck, driven by Kevin Trager and we also had a Front Car, a 1990 Blue Corvette Convertible, with owner-driver Roger Peterson at the wheel, with his favorite Surfer Girl waving to crowd. There was one White and one Red Longboard sticking almost straight up, behind the bucket seats. Also, we had Martin Ewen, Stilt-walker walking and dancing to our music, along side and all around the truck. We also use a huge bubble machine, too. it must have been quite a site. Martin got "Second Place" in the Marching category as well.

The Man From RavCon Rides Again! is a full on guitar-based Spaghetti Western CD with a twist. Like the latter-day spaghetti western soundtracks of the late 60's and early 70's, the eleven tracks that make up The Man From RavCon Rides Again! incorporate elements of another popular music form of the time: Progressive Rock. In addition to the simple but effective deep surfy single-note guitar melodies present on the previous releases, you'll hear light prog embellishments such as Hammond Organ, Mellotron Strings, Flute and Choir as well as unique time signatures and tempo changes. The new sound has been described as "progressive twang" and it fits.
The Man From RavCon Rides Again! is now available for download at CD Baby. The physical CD will be available soon.
