..for your listening pleasure. I was so stoked by their grooves that I downloaded several new titles and reconfigured my surf MP3:
1. Reverb Galaxy’s “Angle of Attack”. This Maryland surf band has a dynamite sound – “10 Miles To Nags Head” has a semi-acoustic feel not unlike The Super Stocks’ “Surf Route 101” (one of my all-time favorite surf songs) and “Ble Sunset” has a nice laid-back feel – perfect for cocktails on a Sunday afternoon by the water.
2. Shig and The Buzz’s “Sonic Traveler” will knock your jirachi sandals off. Just listen to the tropics-drenched sound of “Hawaii” and tell me this isn’t a great band. And their “Double Diamonds Deluxe” is just as good – “Lost In The Shadows”, “Sweet December”, and “Twilight” are the standout cuts here.
Just goes to show you don’t have to time travel back to the ’60s to find great rock instrumental music.
SURF MUSIC….ROCKS!!!! Doug, er, mighty Kahuna..is there no end to the gifts you bestow upon us?
I love using CD Baby…they are a very nice online company.
I played the surf music you gifted me at the bbq last Sat…everyone LOVED it. It’s happy music, like island music. Also great music to work in the garden or clean house.

“Must practice self-control”, “Must practice self-control”.

I know what you’re saying – if the Surfonics CD was availabke on MP3 I would have downloaded it as wll. At 2 Gb I’ve still got room for 8 more songs. 🙂

Have you checked out Carolina Shag/beach music? CD Baby has a few listed…great martini, bluesy guitar…I liked Original Beach Music Band…all guitar numbers. May even have you ask Tracey to dance out by the pool.
