Surf's Up! (sent from the south east side of Michigan on a rather grey and bleak autumn day.)

If this floats your boat, try Shadowy Men on A Shadowy Planet. Some fine CanCon.

Their music is even more fun in concert; they wear those masks on stage. I've seen them open for The Reverend Horton Heat, whose guitar playing was better live than on his albums.

This sounds a lot like the Red Elvises(your favorite band)

Red Elvises ROCK. Saw them here at Jovita's years ago. That huge balalaika (sp?) was a hit.

Loves me some Los Straitjackets.

Surfs You Right!

I saw them open for Reverend Horton Heat in 1998. What a blast. They did a cover of "My Heart Will Go On" that was just hilarious.

Surf rock and rockabilly, a couple of rock sounds you don't hear enough of these days. Sounds like a hell of a show!

Sounds like The Beach Boys meets The Munsters.

Dick Dale meets Spike Jones—only Jones was funnier. {#Propeller}

Did you ever think that maybe the Addams Family and Munsters soundtracks liberally drank from the well of the surf guitar? In other words, the surfing egg came first.
