Just logged in to say "Takeshi Terauchi" but got beaten to it. The whole 'Eleki' genre and explosion of surf music in Japan is a bottomless pit of inventive awesomeness.

Re: Get me started with surf music
i also saw dick dale for the first time in 99. it was some real life altering stuff. not life altering enough to make me buy a strat, but it made me realize a guitarist didn't need a marshall stack and a ton of distortion to be loud and heavyJazzBlaster wrote:Saw Dick Dale in 99 one of the best shows I've ever seen. MOAM is a great band as well, seen them at least a half a dozen times. The ventures are the most popular instrumental surf band, I have some of their early records, they are best on vinyl.noisepunk wrote:Dick Dale should certainly be checked out, as should The Ventures.
Man? or Astroman? are a kind of punk infused modern surf act that are pretty awesome.

Oh! Hi Andy, how are you?
We're getting along just fine. In fact, it has become one of my favourite guitars! It was a good guitar before, but your body has turned it into something special.
