Hey SG101,
I'd like to offer an idea to this group which would be interesting to
see kicked about. We all see a lot of camaraderie on contributions for
compilations by individual bands.a wonderful thing!
But there are alot of individual PLAYERS on this list and others, many
quite talented, committed and in remote areas with no Surf "scene".
Enter, new paradigm: Virtual Surf bands.
Modern bands do not have to be physically all in the same place anymore
to compose recorded music. Many "bedroom musicians" have home studios
that are computer based, using drum machines, multi-track recordings,
etc. Those of you with software-based editing tools like Cakewalk Sonar
would be in a position to start some VERY interesting remote
collaborations if the bug bit you. I encourage your discussions on this.
I don't have the equipment or software personally, but I could get with
someone who does, for example. You could too. Even go to a local pro
studio. It's also a way to find and collaborate with musicians in or who
study OTHER genres, eh? For instance, in the case of that Surf drummer
you "can't seem to find".
One of the early experiments in this realm of Virtual Surf bands came
with the release of New World Relampagos in year 2000. A lesser known
production story surrounds this album whose tracks were contributed by
the players with sequential editing. If I am not mistaken, the New World
Relampagos "band" never played in one place at one time together. I
think either Ivan Pongracic or Mark Huber could enlighten us on those
details if they so choose. A great piece of Surf music trivia!
Kick it around; others with experience doing this?

I've done an entire instro CD this way, Dave. One band member was in Milwaukee,
another was in Boston and myself in L.A. We collected our various instrumental
parts over the internet and mixed 'em into a purdy good collection of tunes.
I now look to the next virtual band horizon...the virtual jam session where I
can put on my headphones and jam real time with a musician in N.Y. and another
in Texas and another in Vancouver.

Yeah, it's only a matter of bandwidth right now, Dave.
