Which Planet?


Big Ray & The Futuras
Desolation Planet
2001




Review

Big Ray and The Futuras are a high energy instro trio on a mission, a mission in space. "Desolation Planet" is where they land, and oh do they find some exotic life forms. "Glowing Men" and "Los Banditos," and an interesting character named "The Condor." The songs titles are understood once you hear the music, albeit no words mind you, which you would think would make it all that much more difficult right? Nope, wrong answer people of planet earth. Hey, I know all you Cowabunga Web Ring folk know yer shit, just kidding.
Even though this is getting down to basics when regarding musical composition, it is in the same breath complex and diverse in that all flavors and styles seem to pop up all over the galaxy on the CD. It is the mark of a truly talented instrumental (surf flavored that is) group that can reach down and grab those spicy Tex-Mex roots, traditional rock ‘n’ roll and surf foundations, Latino flavorings, and then sprinkles of everything else to give you the full treatment of what great instro music is all about. And dam it, they were just a trio. I speak in past tense because the group is now defunct (thanks for the update Dave Wood).
I really got a kick in the pants from this album. The cover is great, it reminds of the 50’s sci-fi flicks like "Forbidden Planet." I would have loved to see what this looked like in a vinyl gatefold jacket! This is great instro folks, it’s full of reverb and twang that will wet your appetite for more and more, I personally guarantee it. This is a classic rendering of surf-instro, plain and simple. Arrgh! I can smell the sea air already… --MusicDish.com.

The Swamp Coolers
Dry Heat

2005
Re-up


"Dry Heat" Named One Of The Top 12 Instrumental Surf Albums Of All Time By Dan Epstein, Editor Of Revolver Magazine (The World's Loudest Rock Magazine)

Don't know who these guys are or where they come from; but from the desert-baked sound of 2005's Dry Heat, one suspects they might have tried to surf a sand dune or two in their day. That in itself might not be the brightest move, but you can't fault their tasty playing, nor the sense of whimsy and creativity they bring to arrangements of "Hawaii 5-0," "Ms. Moto" (yes, you read that right) and even "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music as well as whammy-licious originals like "Escape From El Diablo" and "101 on the 101."


"Dry Heat" Reviewed at ReverbCentral.com!Phil Dirt, "King of Surf Radio" at California station KFJC 89.7, reviewed The Swamp Coolers' first CD"Dry Heat". The CD received an overall rating of four stars, with "My Favourite Things" scoring all five stars, the highest rating!

Escape From El Diablo This is a richly textured track with a catchy riff and whammy chords. The sound is unique to The Swamp Coolers. While the progressions are simple, they take unexpected turns that make this a very memorable song. Very nice!

Hawaii Five-0 Sleepy island whammy and lush palms swaying bring forth a slithery version of "Hawaii Five-0." The wholly original arrangement of the first verse gives way to a pumped and wonderful arrangement inspired by the Ventures' original. Quite nice, and very refreshing.

Journey To The Stars Liquidy and reverent, this glissando laden rendering of "Journey To The Stars" is solid and fun. The arrangement is a combination of others, with a touch of Thom Starr and a chorus.

The Lonely Bull Sol Lake's beautiful "The Lonely Bull" is very nicely laid down. Lush and shimmering with surf anticipation, this moderately paced take is a pleasure to enjoy on the open road.

Pipeline In some ways, this reminds me of Dean Torrance's 1977 version, at least aurally. The drums play the glissandos a la the Challengers, and the guitars are fairly dry. The duel lead on the bridge is jazzy. The big break is pure rock. All in all, a different take on the Chantays' signature song.

101 On The 101 "101 On The 101" is a rock instro with the shimmer of surf chords. The melody is motion driven, and the feeling of the wind in your hair with the top down is quite pronounced.

Out Of Limits Swirly chants in the distance fade as the classic riff ensues. Slithery, smooth, and unlike other covers of this Mar-Kets' classic. Quite a nice track.

Ms. Moto This oriental-ization of the Belairs' signature "Mr. Moto" is sultry and very cool. Moderately paced and whammied out, this reverb arrangement takes on a new sound and feeling.

Europa "Europa" moves slowly through a European guitar melody styling that's tremolo driven and moody. Very nice.

Route 66 Bobby Troup's poppy TV theme made popular by Nelson Riddle and covered by hundreds including the Rolling Stones gets yet another lease on life. This time out it's saucy and liquid, yet tuff open highway motivated.

My Favorite Things The Swamp Coolers take on "My Favorite Things" as if it was meant for the surf. What a wonderful idea. Playful, smooth, slithery, and too much fun!

Sonora Sunrise "Sonora Sunrise" softly oozes the orange warmth of an equatorial morning. The stereo slither of the whammy chords shimmer in the dawn's light. Quite nice.

Very Fine Guitar Work Here


Seis Cuardas
Solo Guitarras
2006
We have it all here in Huntington Beach! Sun, surf, beautiful bodies and surf bands. What more co uld we ask for. This last summer, the city started Surf City Nights Street Fair. Lots of food, games for the kids, fruit and vegetable stands. What made this so great was the addition of quite a few musical folks spread out along Main Street. One of the special groups were these two young brothers. Simply amazing guitarists. I saw them several times over the summer and was captivated each time. Hope you will enjoy them also.
*
The year...2000, the city...Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Etcheverry brothers joined their talent, passion and love for music to make their dreams come true. SEIS CUERDAS was born and from that time on, the flamenco duo has been a success wherever they play. Their music is flashy, romantic, unpredictable, rhythmically rich, and fresh. As guitarists, the brothers show an incredible technique, knowing how to mix different sounds, going from flamenco to rock, turning the classic and most pure Spanish music into a new and fresh sound. In 2001, Ezequiel and Martin Etcheverry, moved to Los Angeles, California, where they have been living since then. The brothers are performers at the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, drawing people from all around the world. They have three released CDs, Seis Cuerdas (2001), Vivencias (2003) and Solo Guitarras (2006), in all, they have perfectly caught the spirit of their music. Freshness and power, feeling and technique, melody and chops, go hand in hand during the minutes and minutes of their soulful and inspired music. In fact,SEIS CUERDAS is music from the soul to the soul.

Surf! Surf! Surf!


Aqualads
Surf! Surf! Surf!
2004


Biography
by Mike DaRonco
The Aqualads got together in 1997 under their original moniker of the Big Swinging Hammers while playing out their set of '60s surf rock instrumentals throughout their native of Charlotte, NC. With a live set that partially consists of covers and their backing go-go dancers the Aquanettes, the bands first official release was a 1998 Christmas 7" aptly titled Aqualads XMAS. After a slight lineup change that left guitarist Jimmy King as the only original Aqualads member, the rest of the quartet consisted of Greg Walsh (guitar), Colin LaRocque(drums), and Jeremy DeHart (bass). Soon after this settled lineup was complete, the band eventually released their debut album, entitled Hotbox, in 1999. Their second album, Revenge, quickly followed the next year.

Top Of The Heap


Thr Black Keys
Thr Big Come Up
2002
These guys move my bones!

Review
by Richie Unterberger
As minimal two-man blues-rock bands go, this has to be near the top of the heap. The problem with minimal two-man blues-rock outfits (and there have been more of them than you think) is that they're, well, usually too minimal, with thin garage sound and a shortage of variety. The Black Keys' sound, impressively, is not too thin (though it is garage-ish), and there's enough deft incorporation of funk, soul, and hard rock into the harsh juke joint-ish core to avoid monotony. Most importantly, Dan Auerbach has a genuinely fine, powerful blues voice, sometimes approximating a white, slightly smoother Howlin' Wolf (particularly on the opener, "Busted"). Auerbach's a good guitarist, too, conjuring suitably harsh and busy (and sometimes heavily reverbed) riffs out of what sounds like a cheap but effectively harsh amp. Patrick Carney's drums might be the cruder component of this two-man band, but they keep the sound earthy without sounding sloppily punkish for the hell of it, as too many such groups searching for the blues-punk fusion do. The very occasional insertion of hip-hop snippets seems neither here nor there, and the cover of the Beatles' "She Said, She Said" seems like an odd choice. But overall it's quite cool raunchy electric blues with more vigor and imagination than similarly raw, elderly Southern juke joint artists who came into vogue starting in the 1990s. And it's way fresher than the standard bar band blues-rockers with slicker execution and more reverence for blues clichés.

The Black Key - Set You Free

Bangin' Stuff Here For Sure!

Ya Gotta Get Some On Ya!


The Black Keys
Thickfreakness
2003



Review
by Mark Deming
While the vast majority of post-punk bands who have an obvious taste for the blues seem to enjoy taking the style apart and messing around with the bits and pieces, the Black Keys are the (relative) traditionalists within the subgenre. With their two-piece, no-bass format, there's no room for clutter or wank, and the raunchy fuzz of Dan Auerbach's guitar (and drummer Patrick Carney's production) owes more to the Gories/Blues Explosion/White Stripes school of aural grime than anything else, but look past all that and the Black Keys are a straight-up blues band who could probably cut an album for Alligator if they were willing to clean up their act and fill out the lineup. And Alligator would doubtless be glad to have 'em — the Black Keys's wail is hot, primal, and heartfelt, and Auerback's lean but meaty guitar lines and room-filling vocals drag the blues into the 21st century through sheer force of will without sounding like these guys are in any way mocking their influences. In short, if you're looking for irony, you're out of luck; if you want to hear a rock band confront the blues with soul, muscle, and respect, then Thickfreakness is right up your alley. Points added for the fact that the Black Keys performed, recorded, and produced Thickfreakness all by their lonesome in a single day — further proof these guys are not messing around.

Blowin' In Hard From Deutchland




The Typhoons

Von Schulau nach Waikiki

2007








1997 in Wedel gegründet nehmen: Arne Vollbracht (Gitarre), Norbert "Escobòn" Hoffmeister (Gitarre), Nils Swetlik (Bass) und Rüdiger Voigt (Schlagzeug) ihr erstes Demo noch unter dem Namen "Look! No Head" im Februar 1998 in dem Wedeler IB Kommunikationszentrum "Die Villa" auf.
Die Liebe zu Surf, Beat und Rock`n´Roll verbindet die Musiker und bald findet sich der neue Bandname "The Typhoons". Gespielt werden vor allem instrumentale Eigenkompositionen im Stil der Surfbands der 60er und 80er, wie: The Ventures, The Challengers, Jon & The Nightriders, u.a.. Zusätzlich werden auch Coverversionen ins Programm aufgenommen um das Publikum mit bekannten Hits zu erfreuen und den guten alten Bands Tribut zu zollen.
2001 erscheint unter der Mithilfe von Thomas Ritter das erste Album "The Typhoons" als 10" Vinyl auf dem Hamburger Label "String Records". Wenig später veröffentlicht "Kamikaze Records" das komplette Album mit der ersten LP der Hamburger Instroband "The Splashdowns" auf einer CD unter dem Namen "Surf Double Pack".
Bassist Nils verlässt der Liebe wegen die Band in Richtung Berlin und gründet dort nach einiger Zeit die Surf & Roll Band "Stevie & His Sideburns". Für ihn kommt Alexander Töde. Nach einigen Konzerten und Studioaufnahmen trennt sich die Band jedoch aus persönlichen Gründen von ihm und Stephan Matzak übernimmt 2005 den Bass.
Mit reichlich Liveerfahrung bieten THE TYPHOONS Big Wave Insrumental Surf der Extraklasse. Melodien zum Träumen und Rhythmen zum abtanzen.

OK Ramblers... Let's Get Ramblin'

Original Sound Track
1992
Review is not very complimentary, but who gives a @#$%@! I can't hear any of these songs without flashes of the movie going off in my head. Makes me happy. Don't be a Mr. Pink. Get it!

Review
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Only five songs here were featured prominently in Quentin Tarantino's rousing crime film ("Little Green Bag," "Hooked on a Feeling," "I Gotcha," "Stuck in the Middle With You," and "Coconut"), but the record includes Steven Wright's introductions from the film (separately indexed, thankfully), as well as Tarantino's infamous interpretation of the meaning of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and Harvey Keitel's monologue on how to rob a jewelry store. In total, that's about fifteen to twenty minutes of material. Padding out the rest of the disc are three new songs that were heard in passing in the film — "Fool for Love" is very good, "Harvest Moon" passable, and "Magic Carpet Ride" is abominable. After this, the disc has passed the half hour mark by two minutes. The amount of music you'll actually want to listen to makes it even shorter, but it is a soundtrack you'll want to return to.

Get Your Bowl Of Cereal And Sit In Front Of The Tube

As a child of the 60's, you could not help hearing The Beatles on every radio within earshot. While I was to young to be buying anything musical I did collect Beatles bubblegum cards (still have a few) and a few odds & ends (Mom would not let me have Beatle boots). The market was not geared towards the kids my age until they started showing The Beatles cartoon series. This was right up our alley. So we made it a Saturday ritual to go over to a friends house, eat our cereal, and be hip like The Beatles.

This first episode is the promo developed to start the series. What better way to start this new/old Saturday tradition.

Let me know what you think.

Hot California Sun via Japan


Rat Holic Presents California Sun


Review: Real Art Magazine. ru

For a long time I’ve suspected that surf and garage scene (as well as other musical styles) is very cool in Japan. Very rarely we managed to hear 5.6.7.8's, Guitar Wolf …Here is the whole treasury of the modern cool garage and surf bands which have been recorded during one concert in the Japanese club (life is actually fine - except for this disk I also have DVD with video from that concert - each band in their special color suits, everyone is smiling and pleased as child, the audience have fun and enjoy the gig together with musicians …).Except for already a little familiar to me The Twinkle Arrows and The Windows, there are 7 more bands on the disk (The Great Mongoose, Rat Holic, Jacky and Enocky, The Teenie Cheetahs, The Pebbles, The El Caminos and Terry Shimamura Group).A lot of girls play on drums, saxophone, keys (The Pebbles is entirely girl-band).About music - very valiant surf or drive garage and hot rod. I shall especially note Jacky and Enocky “Let's Go Bopping Tonight” - seven-minute track with long duel of the musicians; the incredible garage punk hit “Teeny Smash” from The Teenie Cheetahs; the most magnificent sounding of Rat Holic and mad drive of The Great Mongoose.

Inner Sanctum Mysteries
You Could Die Laughing
Aired 5/7/1946
Starring Santos Ortega




INNER SANCTUM MYSTERIES

Taking its name from a popular series of mystery novels, Inner Sanctum Mysteries debuted over NBC’s Blue Network in January 1941.
Inner Sanctum Mysteries featured one of the most memorable and atmospheric openings in radio history: an organist hit a dissonant chord, a doorknob turned and the famous “creaking door” slowly began to open.
Every week, Inner Sanctum Mysteries told stories of ghosts, murderers and lunatics. Produced in New York, the cast usually consisted of veteran radio actors, with occasional guest appearances by such Hollywood stars Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre and Claude Rains.
What made Inner Sanctum Mysteries unique among radio horror shows was its host, a slightly-sinister sounding man originally known as “Raymond.” The host had a droll sense of humor and an appetite for ghoulish puns, and his influence can be seen among horror hosts everywhere, from the Crypt-Keeper to Elvira. Raymond Edward Johnson was the show’s host until 1945; Paul McGrath took over the role until the show left the air in 1952. Producer Hiram Brown would utilize the creaking door again in the 1970s, when he produced and directed The CBS Radio Mystery Theater.
Inner Sanctum Mysteries was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1988.

Los Banditos Are Here! We Don't Need No Stinkin' Badges!






Los Banditos

Beatclub

1998










They drink Strichnin and Nitro, eat Atomchilis encrusted with TNT and listen to Neil Young. Explosive mixture of: 60s Beat, Surf, Twang, Rock'n Roll, Sex and Crime, mixed with the future sounds for the 26.

About Los Banditos
In 1996 the band was founded as a trio in Jena/Germany. The Banditos first specialized in Surf, but soon enough line up and musical competence were steadily broadened, so that 10 years later were facing a 5-headed gang that is still celebrating its music on a solid Surf base and is unmistakeably inspired by the East German Big Beat bands of the early Sixties (yes, this term did exist already 40 years ago), but is integrating the sexy groove of the Sixties/ Seventies Soul and cuban percussions into its music as well as performing classical RnB vocal pieces this is an own version of Post Easy Listening Pop. This mixture is produced on original vintage GDR-equipment: Musima de Luxe guitar, Musima Brillant 76 bass and Weltmeister T/O 200.5 organ. The Banditos live gigs turn out to be a challenge for your dancing as well as for your laughing abilities. Glamour is served in family packs and the prescribed combination of musical drugs, namely Sixties Beat, Surf, sound tracks of Spy Thrillers, Spaghetti Westerns and Blue Movies, Black Soul, Las Vegas Glamour, Shadows melodies and brave postmodern Pop makes even the death move. At the latest with their interpretations of "Je taime...moi non plus" and "Ca Plane pour moi " every hall goes wild. But of course the Banditos are not only game for popular party tunes. In the first place elegance and understatement are dominant. In an adequate atmosphere it is not unlikely that an Los Banditos concert takes up to 3 hours. And theres not one moment of boredom included. Their own compositions, titled "Porno Uschi" (Porn Uschi), "Unbekannte wilde Frau" (Unknown Wild Woman), "M..dchen komm!" (Com'on Girl ), "Komm M..dchen, geh!" (Com'on Girl, leave!) or "Zwischenfall im Orbit" (Incidence in Space) don't have to hide behind their versions of classics or obscurities. Self evidently, the Banditos are now all year around on tour - not only at home, but all across Europe as in Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, UK, France, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Baltics and Russia. A Best Of compilation titled "Collected Works" is out on Soyuz Records Moscow since fall 2006. Their divine Sex video clip ran several times on VIVA and ARTE broadcasted a complete concert. The band is also writing music for theaters across Germany and Switzerland i.e. Karen Finleys theatre play "The theory of total blame" and enjoyed engagements at theatres in Basel, Freiburg, Berlin, Halle and others. After a big success in 2005 Los Banditos performed again with the Jena Theater Haus at famous Kulturarena festival 2006.

This is by far the best surf rock band I've heard in years and years and years, and this album is a necessary addition to the collection of any surf guitar enthusiasts, if you can find it. Amazingly enough (although considering some of the best U.S. surf rock bands have come from the Midwest, I suppose it's not that amazing) El Ray hails from Denmark, and their psychedelic, ominous spin on these original and classic surf songs is just beautiful (their "Secret Agent Man" instrumental cover is hilarious). Many of the tracks on here have titles that could have come right off the credits screen at your local surf theater--if there are any more of those wonderful little venues out there-especially "The Agent vs. the Mexican", "The Plan", and "The Spider." Guitarists El Twang and El Firetone play both rapid-fire dual beach party massacre music and slow, lush, twangy makeout music equally wonderful, making one wonder exactly what kind of beaches there are in Denmark, and what kind of parties they have there where this kind of band provides the soundtrack, and how one gets an invite.
