Welcome! This is a great list, and you'll learn a lot from the cats
who frequent it. I did. Didn't even play guitar 15 months ago, now I
play badly in my own band.
Here's a NorCal band I am really groovin' on lately: The Mermen. Check
out their early album "Food for Other Fish." Definately a new wave in
surf, kinda like The Ventures meet Pink Floyd and King Crimson in an
afterhours club.
I didn't known Kahuna Kawentzman was in The Looney Tunes! I love their
cut "Desert Bound" on the Rhino Surf Box Set. I learn something new
and amazing every day on this site.
There really are some great players here.

Check out The Looney Tunes track "A Go Go Dancer" on the MuSick Ventures
tribute album (Swingin' Creepers). Its FREAKING INSANE!!!!!
Its like robots high on speed playing guitar.

I would like to boast a bit and take the credit for that track being
included on that comp. When Art of MuSick first told me of the plans
for the Ventures tribute, the first thing I brought up is that he HAS
GOT to include this track! I don't think he heard it before I played
it for him, but I'm not sure about that. Anyway, I'm pretty sure
that it was at my insistence that this track ended up being on the
CD. It originally appeared on the Looney Tunes CD "Modern Sounds
of.." which as far as I'm concerned is their best work. In fact, I
think it's really a fantastic CD. (Though that track is on the
Looney Tunes CD under a different name - "Swinging Creeper" - I
think "A Go Go Dancer" was mistitled on the German release
as "Swinging Creeper".) Anyway, if you can get a copy of this CD, I
would highly recommend it.

So, where can one obtain "Modern Sounds Of..." by The Looney Tunes?
KK? Any ideas?
Thanks,
