Warm Yourself By This Fire


Gwyn Ashton
Feel The Heat
2001





Blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter Gwyn Ashton was born in Wales and raised in South Australia. At an early age he developed a love for blues and rock music that was fueled as a result of recordings by renowned artists like Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, Rory Gallagher, Muddy Waters, and many others. At the age of 11, Ashton picked up his first guitar and began the chore of learning to play the instrument. His natural talent didn't take long to show through. When he was a teenager, he teamed up with a couple of friends to form his first professional band. He stood in as frontman. The little group often managed to land jobs at local blues clubs and bars. After building a small fan base and landing some positive press, Ashton took his act on the road across Australia. He also spent time serving as a member with other groups now and then. In 1993, Ashton finished recording his debut album, Feel the Heat. It took three long years before his sophomore full-length offering, Beg, Borrow and Steel, was released. By now he was touring and performing in countries worldwide, including finding a market in the United States for his slide guitar-filled blues-rock. Some of the musicians who have been part of his recording band along the way include drummers Brendan O'Neill, Rick Tredrea, and Michael Wiedrich; along with bassists Geoff Brown, Sambor Kansy, and Gerry McAvoy.

So You Think You Have An Axe To Grind?


Little Axe
Hard Grind
2002


*

Little Axe's debut album, The Wolf That House Built, issued in 1994, created the mold for Moby's Play album — and he knows it. With its blend of deep, slow-grooved beats, loops, sampled voices of blues singers, heavy dub reggae effects, kicking drums, and wailing guitar, it was the roots music precedent to the bald one's fine record by half a decade. Eight years later, Little Axe returns with a new set that will no doubt be compared to Play when in reality it is in a league of its own. The sophomore effort issued by legendary reggae producer and mixmaster Adrian Sherwood, guitarist Skip McDonald, bassist Doug Wimbish, and drummer Keith LeBlanc is a dreamy, hazy cipher of an album that settles slowly and lazily over the listener, displacing his or her sense of time and space in the mix and then turning his or her approach to listening to blues and rhythm inside out. It features the voices of bluesmen telling stories and snippets of singers wafting ghostily out of the ether only to re-enter the mist and wind themselves around a slow, sultry, steamy rhythm, a heavily seductive mix that slithers around McDonald's awesome and understated guitar playing. It comes from the swampy underbelly of the Delta blues bible, and Sherwood's smoky, dubbed-out effects, loops, and echo chambers are everywhere, with sounds that come from out of time yet seem to belong right where they are. The set opens with a read of Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night Cold Was the Ground," with his voice coming out of the grave and talking about the blues. On "All Night Party," the late Junior Kimbrough's voice entwines with those of absent friends and collaborators such as historians, preachers, and the players themselves with a shifting, careening mix that turns the blues motif into the fifth element, in the terrain where it encounters the seam of reggae becoming undone. On "Walk Right Shoes," country blues gets the hoodoo treatment, and the refrain of "Riding on the White Horse" is as much a metaphor for heroin as it is for a ride to heaven amid the voices of some well-known blues-rock greats. Overall, the record is spooky, almost mystical; it's a soundtrack for a film that could never be made, so complex is its plot (and blood) line, and is more enjoyable than anything Ry Cooder ever laid down for celluloid. This is music from another world; its roots are swindled, warped, and turned upside down and inside out, but they are never disrespected. The notion of song is ever-present and hypnotic; the continuity and consistency in the mixes from one track to the next are without peer. Hard Grind is the album that should have been the soundtrack for writhing late-night sexual trysts, dark morning soul-searching, long drives into the unknown, and sitting still and staring into the face of oblivion.

Rise Up!


The Gladiators
Back To Roots
2000




The Gladiators' final album for the Front Line label, Sweet So Til, disappointed some roots fans who denigrated it as being too "lightweight." In hindsight, the album was seen as a classic; within the group experimented with a country style and exquisitely blended rockers rhythms with Ernest Ranglin's phenomenal, bluesy lead guitar and Jimmy Beckford's wailing harmonica.In any event, the trio decided to give the people what they apparently wanted, and Back to Roots perfectly sums up this set's sound. No longer dependent on guesting musicians, the group was now a self-contained unit with a lineup including drummer Stanley "Barnabas" Bryan, lead guitarist Clinton Rufus, and keyboardist Audley Taylor, and fleshed out by percussionist Zoot "Skully" Simms and the brass of Bobby Ellis, Felix "Deadly Headly" Bennett, and Dave Madden. Self-produced and recorded at Channel One studios, the Gladiators create a deep roots sound from the minor-key melodies, with the swollen atmospheres conjured up by the obligatory militant beats, throbbing basslines, and sharp riffs that swell around the brass and keyboards. Consequentially, few of the songs boast the immediate infectious appeal of much their earlier work, bar the anthemic "The Warriors," but this is a purely cultural set, and the band was deliberately trying to shake their more populist appeal. Songs like "Marcus Garvey Time," "God Bless," "Prayer to Jah," and "Rich Man Poor Man" are the standouts, the latter one of several cuts on which Clinton Fearon takes lead vocals. Falling off a major label may have hurt the group's profile abroad, but this album helped put to bed any doubts on the group's standing back home. This CD reissue appends four excellent live cuts, including two Wailers/Bob Marley covers, all presumedly recorded in the early '80s; the otherwise informative sleeve notes provides no information about them. Another in the stream of classic albums the group unleashed during the roots age.

From The House Band of The Titty Twister


Tito & Tarantula
Hungry Sally And Other Killer Lullabies
1999


Tito and Tarantula stretch out beyond the dark blues idiom they explored to the depths on Tarantism, though tracks like "Bleeding Roses" are no less dark or moody. "Love in My Blood" is obviously a Gun Club homage from the opening, unwieldy chords to the lyric "For the love of Ivy..."; "My German Fraulein" doesn't even try to hide its resemblance to Link Wray. Tito is a charmer with his recorder; even complete monstrosities, like the meandering and nonsensical title song (a parable incorporating Biblical and sci-fi imagery) end up sounding likable in Larriva's hands.

R.I.P. Jerry Cole


More sad news in the music industry.


Last weeks Lost Legends Of Surf Guitar Vol 2 showcased one of Jerry's turns so check it out.

There are also two other Jerry Cole & His Spacemen albums in the archives, Power Surf, The Best of Jerry Cole & His Spacemen and Outer Limits. Dig deep for them if you missed them the first time around.


Jerry Cole, a guitarist and songwriter who released several surf music albums in the 1960s and recorded with prominent bands such as the Beach Boys and the Byrds, died of a heart attack May 28 at his Corona home, said his wife, Gale. He was 68.With his own group, the Spacemen, Cole released four albums of "space-age surf music" in just over two years, beginning with "Outer Limits" in 1963, according to the Allmusic Internet database.

Jerry ColeCole was a member of producer Phil Spector's Wrecking Crew studio collective, a group of musicians who played on many pop hits in the 1960s. Cole can be heard on the Beach Boys' 1966 album "Pet Sounds," the Byrds' "Mr. Tambourine Man" single and the band Them's self-titled 1965 album.

Born Jerald Edward Kolbrak on Sept. 23, 1939, in Green Bay, Wis., Cole moved to Los Angeles and joined the Champs in 1959 after the instrumental quintet had recorded the chart-topping "Tequila." Fellow band members included Glen Campbell as well as Jimmy Seals and Dash Crofts, who became successful as the duo Seals and Crofts in the 1970s.On television, Cole led the pit bands for the mid-1960s rock-'n'-roll-oriented shows "Shindig" and "Hullabaloo." He also cut a number of instrumental rock albums under a variety of names.Cole went in a country-rock direction after session work with Roger Miller and country singers Chuck Howard and Susie Allanson, Allmusic reported.

In 2004, Cole was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.In addition to Gale, whom he married in 1984, Cole is survived by daughters Monique and Katrina and a son, Cane.

A celebration of his life will be held at 1 p.m. June 28 at Corona Christian Center, 1901 W. Ontario Ave., Corona.

Get There Now!


Sorry this is so late, but just saw this one come up. Y'all need to be there if you can, eh!

Friday's Surf Session


Bradipios IV
Surf Session
2005


*

The band was born in the mid 90's, although Ghigo and Enrico in the mid- 80's were already playing in a 60's oriented combo, The Neurotics, that eventually split up. Then Enrico and Ghigo started playing with two new guitarists, Francesco and Max (Ghigo’s brother), and having a great fun together they decided to give life to THE BRADIPOS IV. From 1990 to 1995 the band played at friends` parties, and of course is still playing a lot at the drummer's old pad. We finally recorded our first demotape "Sloth's Surfin' Party" and thanks to it we had many occasions to play in contests (Bologna, Bari, Cosenza, Ascoli). After that we recorded "Beach Fool", our first 7", for Killyourself Punkarrecords from Parma. You can also hear us in Go Surf!!, a split 7" with Scriteriati, another instrumental band from Rome; this record was released by Teen Sound Records. In February ’99 we recorded our first CD released by Omomusic, label based in Rome. It was an hard work, specially if you consider the fact that it was the first time we had to deal with a recording studio. The main trouble was to find the right sound: we wanted to sound like the bands on Del-Fi recordings. However, the sound technician was very open-minded and cared a lot about our needs (although he is an Heavy Metal expert!!). The title of the record is "Instro-Mania", it includes only instrumental tracks; obviously the predominant line is surf, but there are also rock’n’roll and garage tracks and some 60’s italian cocktails tunes (in our intensions!); the record is composed by 14 tracks including two cover, Work Song (Challengers` version) and Carmela (a neapolitan classic from Sergio Bruni), and was released in the first days of April by the above mentioned Omom Music. If you want to know which tracks we reckon the best, in our opinion they are definitely Work Song, Carmela, Dirty-Phonic and Forbidden Island; however, we think that the listener’s judgement is better than ours. Surely, using the Farfisa Compact in almost all tracks added a special sound. In the last year we played at some other contests like the Beat Festival in Piacenza and the Bus-One 60’s Party in Pavia; moreover we opened for The Boss Martians and Chocolate Watchband in Rome and for Link Protrudi in Naples. We have been listening to Surf, Garage and Italian Beat and in general to all the sixties oriented music since around a decade. Although we have precise musical tastes, we are curious and not closed to other musical genres (apart from Heavy Metal, of course!!!). Our brains are boiling for the Del-Fi and Hot Rod sound, Strummin' Mental and Diggin' Out, even for Jungle Exotica, Las Vegas Grind and Link Wray,but at the same time we like a lot of "modern" surf bands like Man Or Astro - Man ?, Phantom Surfers, Satan's Pilgrims, Finks and also European and Italian bands like Flashback V,Doctor Explosion,Petrifieds, Gravestones, Heads & the Hares, Others, Tijuana Tex & the Cowbones, Vice Barons, and many more. Recently, some of our tracks were released on:"That's New Pussycat- Surf Tribute To Burt Bacharach!", a compilation by Om Omusic; "Themes For Bathing Beauties And Woodies",a compilation by Teen Sound Records; and finally a Surf Tribute To Booker T & the MG's, on Wildebeest Records. In March 2001 the band record the soundtrack to the short indie movie "Blue Panthers" directed by Giancarlo Mazzaro now being distributed in France. In April 2001 the Bradipos IV are contacted by dutch tour promoter Arnold Vinkeles and set off on their first foreign tour. The main cities of the tour are: Arnhem, Dessau, Leipzig, Nürnberg, Dresden, Kassel and others. In July of the same year the group are the opening act in the first edition of the "Beat Fever Festival" in Verona organized by "The Fog Surfers" with bands like Lighting Beat Man and the Miracle Workers. At the beginning of November they play themselves in some scenes of "L 'Imbalsamatore"" by emerging director Matteo Garrone. The movie, produced by Fandango Films, includes musical tracks from the official soundtrack. Due out are another two tracks on the compilations "American Graffiti. A surf tribute" by OmOm Records and "For A Few Guitars More - A tribute to Morricone's Spaghetti Western Themes" for the american label of Larry White. This comp includes tracks by the best bands of the international surf scene like: Man or Astroman, Davie Allan, Bambi Molesters, Penetrators ,Cadillac Hitmen, 50 Foot Combo, Hellbenders, Los Relampagos, Irreversible Slacks, Langhorns, MiGs, Pollo del Mar and others. On December 2004 will be out two new records:a tribute to Richie Allen, a new compilation from Golly Gee Records with bands like The Hypnotic IV, The Waistcoats, John Blair, The Eliminators, The Aqua Velvets, The Chocolate Watchband and more..., in this comp the band plays the song "Room 304"; On February 2005 the band present "Surf Session", the new full lenght album from the Teen Sound Records.

Just Coastin'


The Surf Coasters
Super Runabout
1999

***Surf Coasters will be in California this September. I have my bar stool already picked out for The Purple Orchid show.

Check out their 2008 tour info at http://www.myspace.com/surfcoastersjapan


The Surf Coasters were organized in 1994, by Shigeo Naka from Tokyo, Japan. Shigeo Naka is a guitar prodigy with amazing fretboard skills. His early love is for American surf music, and many Surf Coasters CDs feature reworkings of famed surf songs from the 60s. But the Surf Coasters are a modern band with modern production and crunchy guitar sound. Shigeo Naka writes originals in styles from quiet accoustic to throbbing garage rockers, from trad style surf to ripping fretboard excursions.The Surf Coasters are now the #1 instrumental band in Japan. They have released more than 20 CDs for the Columbia, BMG, and Victor labels. And with many appearances on film soundtracks (“69”) and video games (“Run About”). They have worked with UK producer Adrian Sherwood, the Southern All Stars (one of the most famous bands in Japan!), and played with Eleki legends Yuzo Kayama and Keigo Iwase.In 1995, famed surfing music legend Dick Dale, known as the “King of the Surf Guitar”, came to Japan and played many shows with The Surf Coasters. He proclaimed Shigeo Naka to be “The Prince of the Surf Guitar”.The Surf Coasters tour consistently in Japan and Shigeo Naka is known for his athletic stage presence. In a small hall or large stadium the Surf Coasters givs everything they have for the performance.
