KHAL 98.9FM - 021 - Vibrant


The Avengers VI - Heartbeat - Mark56 - 1966 - Surfband from Anaheim California, their only album was issued as a promo for Good Humor icecream hence the name of the album 'Good Humor presents Real Cool Hits'. Almost forgotten but re-issued by Bacchus Archives in 2001 and 2014.
The Vibrants - Vibrant - El Toro - 2007 - Nothing real relevant I could dig up about this band. Great song taken from the first of the two records they released, 'the exotic guitar sounds of..'. Record is half instrumental, half vocal and overall party record, a personal guess would be that they are from Spain.
Satan´s Pilgrims - Splashdown - Hi-Tide - 2018 - Pretty recent sounds from these Pilgrims who have been around since the mid nineties, still releasing great stuff like this 7". Keep an eye out as there is even more recent work to check out.
Terremotor - Intacto - Surf Cookie/ Reverb Brasil - 2017 - Surfrock band from Umuarama, Brazil. This is taken from their debut record which got followed up by a 7" and a last year released live CD.
The Nebulas - Vendetta - Tivertone - 2002 - Taken from their first full length 'Nebula One', more releases followed all the way up to the 'Aktion Faktion' 10" in 2018. I bet we haven't heard the last of them yet.
Los Walkysons - Arrabassada - El Toro - 2003 - Fratrock combo from Barcelona, Spain. This is a nice instrumental from their only full length with the title that rounds it up nicely, 'Hits, all their greatest and more'
Burt Rocket - Mexican meltdown - Double Crown - 2009 - From the south coast of Norway comes this surfer who we have heard before with the Rockets, the Tremelo Wankers and the Mobsmen. This is from his debut 'Savage Iceland', six years later there was a follow up. Check it out!
Takeshi Terauchi and the Bunnies - Kanjincho - King - 1967 - King of the electric guitar from Japan! He used to play with the Blue Jeans and among all the millions of releases to his name this was with the Bunnies with who he split after a couple of years to continue with the Blue Jeans again
The Del Vipers - Cobra´s fang - Selfreleased - 2018 - Surf with a punch from, if there were any, the shores of Austin, Texas. Nice follow up to their first full length 'Terror of the Del-Vipers'. This is the opener of a 5 song EP called 'Cannibal Safari'.
The Ghastly Ones - The ghastly stomp - Telstar - 1998 - Originally on their debut record 'A Haunting Will We Go-Go', refurbished in 2007 for their CD 'Unearthed' released by I guess themselves Ghastly Plastic Corp. Great band from Van Nuys, California.
Dick Dale - The wedge - Capitol - 1962 - A year ago the King of Surf died at age 81 obviously we are going to pay our respect, ending this show with one of my personal faves.
