I don't really like the Famous Monsters that much, just that song.
The voice dubbing over on their CD gets really old really fast.
There's also no bass, just two guitar and drums.
The bassist in my band was talking with the bassist from this other
SD surf band, the Creepy Creeps, and this guy is appearently friends
with some guys from the Bomboras or something and he said that both
the Bomboras and the Ghastly Ones are dead. One guy who was in the
Bomboras at one point played with the Creepy Creeps earlier this
year, but has since then quit. That's all I really know.
