Try The Space Cossacks, Slacktone, and the new one (only one) from the
Nebulas.
One CD that really kills me for raw aggressive power is Jon & The
Nightriders "Raw & Alive '98". That thing smokes! Its a surf super group
featuring John Blair, Dave & Dusty from Slacktone, and Pete Curry (he who
has the most impressive surf band resume ever).
Keep your eyes peeled for the new Slacktone live disc. Should be available
real soon now.
