The digital release on CDBaby.com and other usual channels is on JUNE 15 while the actual little vinyl record will be available hopefully at the Surfer Joe Summer Festival or the end of the month.
The songs titles are surely funny, but the songs have been produced with serious attention and great great sound! Also these songs will only be available with this EP release exclusively, both Ralf and Lorenzo are not planning to include these tracks in any future albums.

Our long-term project band, Forever Surf, has all sorts of news to share:
A bit of history: It all started in 2003 with rhythm guitarists "Reverb Mike" Finney and lead guitarist Deane "Can't Sing" Stanton meeting on a Ventures cruise. They began playing and eventually ran into bassist Dave "DP' Pike right here at the SG101 "players wanted" forum section. For several years we traveled around meeting up for occasional gigs and recording sessions at each other's towns and homes. Additionally, we did many "remote recording sessions" laying digital tracks and exchanging them via USPostalService and CD-R. Eventually, Deane met up with Dave Martin who gracously laid down all of our live drum tracks on the NEW cd. Please stop by our site and give it a listen,
thanks again SG101,
-DP

Wabbit Wanch Studios Announces the New Album Instwoh-Mentals Vol. 1 from The Fabulous Blue Wabbits
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Wabbit Wanch Studios is pleased to announce the release of the debut album from The Fabulous Blue Wabbits, Instwoh-Mentals Volume 1, available from the Apple iTunes Store and other online music services on April 18, 2014.
Instwoh-Mentals Volume 1 is a studio album of 16 originals songs in the electric guitar-oriented, instrumental style made popular during the early 1960’s by groups such as The Shadows in Europe and The Ventures in North America. This musical style is a lighter, more melodic precursor to the more driven “surf music” that later dominated the airwaves of Southern California with groups such as Dick Dale and the Deltones. On this album, The Fabulous Blue Wabbits present the full spectrum of the 1960’s instrumental style from European sophistication to Southern Californian “sun and fun”.
Forty-five years after the original Blue Diamonds made their appearance on the Club 6 television program, the two remaining band members, Mel Patrick (guitars) and Fred Lichota (bass guitar), reformed in 2006 as The Fabulous Blue Wabbits. They no longer perform live, but continue to write and record 1960’s-style instrumental music. Their song “California Longboard” was featured on “A Day At The Beach” on Radio Station KCS in San Diego, California.
Instwoh-Mentals Volume 1 is available now from the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon MP3, 7digital, 24-7, Rumblefish, the Google Music Store, and Shazam.
