BOOYAH! Agent Orange!!!!! Lemme grab my skate and lets go dude!Loved their version of "Miserlou" fuckin' bad. Of course Dick Dale gets mad respect for the O.G. version.

SoCal folks, go to this. Dusty Watson's B-day Bash in Hermosa. He is the drummer for Slacktone and Agent Orange. You will see that Slacktone is just on a different level as instrumental surf rock goes..

Strato Geezer

 

A couple that I've seen lately,

Shrimp Chaperone, and The Ghost Riders In Disguise.

Saw both at shows in AZ, both blew me away!

The Beach Boys.

 

Dynatones

 

Hell yes!

 

Dynotones, Dick Dale, Deadbolt, Knuckle Dragger, and Link Wray.

 

I'm a gray beard, but the Beach Boys sound to me like real estate agents playing covers at the high school prom... (ok, Pet Sounds is genius).

from my collection, which "I" like:

The Fireballs
The Lively Ones
Los Relampagos
The Phantom Surfers

 

Modern yeah, even EASY Listn'n, moody stuff;

Friends of Dean Martinez
Pollo del Mar
Mermen

More traditional stuff;

Agent Orange (when they chose to do it)
Penetrators
JFA (when they chose to do it)
Los Straightjackets
etc. etc.
There's so many good ones.

 

The Delusionaires.

The Venturers? Who the fuck are they?

 

I heard this, I missed 'em at a music festival we were playing at, people were slack-jawed, no pun intended, some folks said they were THE best band they had ever seen regardless of genre.

The Rumblers rule too, Boss is one unbelievable tune, we cover it.

BTW, The Delusionaires are back together again, it's kinda cool to be back in my dysfunctional family.

 

"Shadowy Men From a Shadowy Planet" are pretty cool too.

 

I'm kinda partial to the Torquays when I'm in the mood for slowin down... If my oppinion were to be worth a hoot.

 

Like The Ventures, Shadowy Men are not a surf band, as evidenced by their song title, "We're Not A Fucking Surf Band".

 

The VaraTones, Dynotones, Longboard Ranch, Surfites, Los Straightjackets, many more.

I like the Ventures, but they aren't purely a surf band, just instrumental. Any body remember the T-Bones. The Alka Seltzer Commercial in the 60's?

 

The Long Boards

 

I too am long of tooth....
Sunrays
Surf Nuts
Chantays
Markettes
Fantastic Baggies
The Rumblers

Love that sound!
