Most recently played at the Clarkston Surf Fest in Georgia, they are working their way Westward. Going to try to catch them when they hit San Diego in September at the Zombie Lounge.



From Wikipedia:


Daikaiju is a surf rock quintet from Huntsville, AL. The members perform anonymously, wearing kabuki masks, and provide the theme music to Escape Pod.
From the band's MySpace site:

Loud Roken-Roll for earful pleasure!Impressive radiation of hyper-dimensional springy sound, divine psychedelic wind for your special liking.Worship Psycho-surf band Daikaiju daily for good luck and health!



The band's members use the stage names:
Secret-Man - guitarist
Multi-Man - guitarist/keyboardist
Rumble-Man - bassist
Hands-Man - drummer
Electro-Man - keyboardist
Ex-members - E (drummer 1999-2002,2004), Mr. Nein (drummer 2001-2003), Oni (drummer 2005), IV (drummer 2005-2006), Tentacles-X (keyboardist 1999-2000), Captain Kanchou (guitarist/bassist 1999-2001), Brain Conflict (bassist 2002-2006), Dymaxion Lee (guitarist 2001-2006)

Hi trustar,
you really make me look forward to this roud loken loll full impact (even tho anonymous bands isnt exactly a new concept - but just as much anonymous comments aren't -lol!).

I'm always enlightened how you music-blogging-guys (among others greatly so you, Eek and RYP) constantly keep expanding my musical horizon. Thanx for that once more.

Here another try to share some fun, even tho i still don't upload myself. One of my recent finds that might delight your ears is this wonderful lebanese guitarist on a work from 74, combining middle-east folk tunes with surfish guitar and proggy mood-sounds. Check out 'Omar Khorshed', now @

Hey I just bought this album and @#$% LOVED IT. Perfect high-powered surf in my opinion. I've read they have 2 earlier EPs that are now out of print... Any leads on those for me? Thx.
