The Aquabats (Yo Gabba Gabba).

That's what I was going to say.

Rock Lobster

@@citizencain01Cock lobster.

Hell ya 🤙

Also The Shins sorta have a surf/spaghetti western vibe

I said that exact same thing✌️💓

Thanks for watching!

My band teacher also (class of '78.) He inspired many Coronado, CA musicians.

The Astronauts had a great sound, their live recordings are great

@@HomebrewMusic he was a great teacher. I also had his class for 6th grade History. I believe we knew he was a cool guy, but we really didn’t get how cool he really was until later. Go Islanders!

THANK YOU..ESPECIALLY FOR MENTIONING THE BOMBORAS!!!! Xoxoxo thank you!

Agree! - my adds: Surf Coasters, Aqua Velvets, Barbwires, Bambi Molesters, Pollo Del Mar

SCOTS was a big deal on the East Coast.

Bands that should have been mentioned in this video would be The Cramps, B-52s, Ramones ,The Go-go's , and the Dead Kennedys. Although these bands weren't surf rock rock bands ,they were definitely influenced by surf rock and they influenced your modern surf rock bands ,of course everyone knows becoming a surf rocker is one of the few punk rock retirement plans out there. 😁 In any case the surf rock influence is clearly heard in the music of the bands that I mentioned. Oh, the Trash Women, and Hillbilly Frankenstein weren't mentioned, so I will 😁

Who knows what musicians will decide to do with it next!!

One when you forgot to mention that I’m a huge fan of myself is Jon and the night riders They were one of the biggest groups that brought surf back in the 80s

While there's waves there be surfers but I guess it's up to us to introduce them to the surf sounds . Rog . Pacific sunset records .

Walk Don't Run was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. I'd like to add Link Wray to the list even though he played other genres than surf music as well.

Hell ya 🤙

Awesome‼ Ive seen Daikaiju about 15 times now ♥

@@sleeplessaquarius bout 10 for me. Man they are fun! Love their new stuff.

Huge Agent Orange fan! Saw the live in Redondo Beach 2014…dream come true for me.

I saw Agent Orange in 1986 in Baltimore

@@colonelkurtz2269 The Golden Era!

@@ApriliaRacer14 there was a massive half pipe on the property. A band called GreyMarch opened for them.

Exactly. Seen them every year here in Columbia SC except 2020. So good, it's an experience, and you got to love the communal vibe. What other band tells you to get on stage and even force you to play their instrument? Ha ha

You're not wrong, but consider that the Milkmen loved to ridicule/parody everything, a song like "Surfing Cow" is as much mocking surf rock as being actual surf rock

I don't want to make a habit of it or they won't be forgotten anymore

JFA are great, iconic logo among aging skaters.

Oh WOW . . . that anyone remembers JFA‼I loved them & played the crap out of em'. I STILL have my Sony Walkman, which has a JFA sticker on it‼I wish I could post a picture of it on here

You're right. Dick Dale was Lebanese. A traditional tune there is the origin of his Miserlou.

Dead Kennedys definitely deserve a mention here... and yes, Misirlou IS an eastern tune, though very popular in Greece as well.

Damn, there's quite a few in your list I don't recognize. Better look them up!

Messer Chups is sick. Considering them psychobilly/surf, is a fair assessment.

You left out the Ghastly Ones

That is most likely because of Shock Theater. Universal licensed their horror line to local television across the country calling it Shock Theater, in their press kits to stations they told them to have hosts like on some of the western shows. They listened and they mostly hired radio DJs, guys like Ghoulardi or Svenghoolie for example. In the 50s you had the Beat scene and beatniks became sort of the punk rock of the day and their look lead to these horror hosts camping their look up, they started looking like beatnik werewolves, vampires and ghouls and since their audience were predominantly teens they started playing rock and roll and its easier to talk over instrumental music than singing. When Shock Theater premiered, I believe with Frankenstein It was a massive ratings bonanza and kick off the monster craze, with songs, models, cartoons and AIP geared their films to teenage tastes that meant Surfing, drag racing, rock n roll and since most of those hobbies started in SoCal it was only natural that surf music be a part of it. Instrumental music was huge in the late 50s and 60s because you didn’t need a singer, just drums, a guitar, a bass and other instruments, so lots of teens started playing that kind of music and fused it with campy monster imagery and sounds. Purple People Eater was a huge hit so lots of copycats came out after that. Since a lot of these bands were young kids and not all that musically inclined older executives in the record industry that were flooded with demos started calling these kids “Punk” bands especially when the surf sound evolved into that 60s garage sound with the bowl Beatle hair cuts. Think Herman’s Punk Rods jacket. I think The Standells were on an episode too. So monsters and surf garage will forever go hand in hand.

Probably because the Munsters became associated with hot rods (the munster mobile) and auto shows. And surf rock is popular with Hot rodders.

Not a bad point. But I think if you're going to be a "no frills" surf band you're going to need to resort to imagery and other things to supplement your sound. It's a style that's already sixty years old after all.

Que chivo! Los debo escuchar 🤙

Check out Los Tiki Phantoms!

Keith hitting those high notes on Barbara Ann.

@@SuperStrik9 he got the Who gig because he could play with wild abandon and hold an R&B groove. American surf-instro records from the early 60s covered the same Motown and soul tunes as British bands that played dance clubs. It was a parallel scene with pretty much the same music.

Yeah I may whip something up to give them their flowers
