<div>Re : Coney Island Rockabilly / Surf / Burlesque / Sideshow Festival 2007 <br/> <br/>Greeting and Salutations, <br/> <br/> My name is Benjamin Wilson and I front a rockabilly / surf band called The Holy Roller Sideshow based here in NYC. We play vintage rock and roll, a lot of Sun records stuff and classic surf tunes, mixed in with spy, horror, sci-fi and spaghetti western. <br/> <br/> I am interested in putting together a Coney Island surf / rockabilly / burlesque / sideshow festival for the end of summer. We have a good number of bands, sideshow performers and burlesque performers interested in the project. <br/> <br/> We are looking for more performers, sponsors, collaborators and anyone interested in being a part of this. This is a tumultuous year in the life of Coney Island. Slated for major rezoning, this might be the last summer of the old Coney Island. <br/> <br/> We are hoping to bring a large draw from the rockabilly, psychobilly and surf crowds. We are also hoping to tap the Burlesque crowd, the sideshow crowd and the Burning Man crowd. Frankly, all these scenes converge at a similar crossroad, and I think it would be great to bring them all together this summer. <br/> <br/> The dates and locale are not fixed yet, but ought to be in place by the end of the month. We are shooting for early to mid-August Saturday or Sunday all day and night. If you would like to be involved on any level, write me at taraxacum1313@hotmail.com or at myspace /cockabilly records. <br/> <br/> I am really enthusiastic about this project, and I’d like to get as many people in on it as possible. We have a small but strong scene here in NYC and it would great to try and draw people from surrounding areas to a NYC Coney Island Festival. <br/> <br/> Any ideas and input are greatly appreciated. <br/> <br/> Thanks for your time. <br/> <br/> Ben (HRS) <br/> <br/>p.s. - Come check us out at Otto's Shrunken Head 05/03 10:30 til close . . . with real live sideshow !!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://surf-music.tribe.net">Surf Music</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Just heard.... <br/> <br/>Thrak <br/> <br/>=============== <br/>by Paul Cashmere <br/> <br/>November 21 2005 <br/> <br/>Link Wray, the man Pete Townshend credits as his biggest influence, has died in Copenhagen at the age of 76. <br/> <br/>Frederick Lincoln Wray was born in North Carolina on May 2, 1929. In the mid 50s, he teamed with his brothers Vernon and Doug to form the Lazy Pine Wranglers who later became Palomino Ranch Hands and then the Ray-Men. <br/> <br/>Wray wrote his signature tune ‘Rumble’ in 1953 and in 1958, it made it to number 16 on the US chart. <br/> <br/>His career ran hot and cold during much of the 70s and 80s despite a period of success around 1977 when Wray backed rockabilly singer Robert Gordon. <br/> <br/>He had a further dose of fame in the mid 90s when Quentin Tarantino used his sounds for the movie ‘Pulp Fiction’. <br/> <br/>Wray married a Danish lady and moved to Copenhagen where he spent the rest of his life. <br/> <br/>He was buried last week in the Copenhagen suburb of Christianshavn.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://surf-music.tribe.net">Surf Music</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Sorry for the late posting... <br/> <br/>I have been ut of it for the past few weeks. <br/> <br/>But I could not let this one go by. Phil Dirt is why I love surf music. So, I just had to post his message. Hopefully, someone will pick up the flag. <br/> <br/>Thrak <br/>======================= <br/> <br/>From: Phil Dirt &amp;lt;phildirt@...> <br/>Date: Tue Sep 6, 2005 12:58 pm <br/>Subject: Retiring from KFJC dirtkfjc <br/>Since the question has arisen... <br/> <br/>I have decided to leave KFJC, a decision undertaken back in December <br/>2004. Reasons are many, but basically it's time. <br/> <br/>I was at KFJC between 1964 and 1967. KFJC was 10 watts mono with a <br/>coverage area no bigger than Los Altos and Los Altos Hills. At that <br/>time, KFJC was under the direction of Ken Clark, who was a television <br/>refuge and believed that radio drama was coming back. He attracted <br/>mostly theatre people to the station. KFJC was only on the air 4 PM to <br/>10:15 PM Monday through Friday. Programming was stiff to say the least. <br/>4-5 was an easy music show, with a different host each day of the week. <br/>5-6 was the Owl's Nest, hosted by local KXRX personality Bob Hollman. <br/>He played a mix of pedestrian and tweaky jazz and the like, mixed with <br/>Foothill College doings. It was a sort of voice of Foothill show. He <br/>wasn't staff, everyone else was. Interestingly, Hollman used a brief <br/>excerpt of Dick Dale and his Del-tones' "Surfin' Drums" as an opening <br/>theme. <br/> <br/>Afterward, various prerecorded dramas, plays, and pre-NPR programs ran <br/>until 10 PM. News came at 10 that was supposed to run 10 minutes. The <br/>guy who did the rip and read loved to talk to himself, and often ran <br/>until 10:25. One night, I shut off his mic, ran his close theme, signed <br/>off, shut down the transmitter, and locked up, leaving him inside still <br/>reading the news. <br/> <br/>Each day of the week, a different operator was assigned to run the <br/>broadcast day. I was assigned Tuesday. During the 4-5 show, we were <br/>allowed to play instrumental music that was easy listening. We're <br/>talking Percy Faith and Ferrante &amp; Teischer here. I once got in BIG <br/>trouble for playing one soft and slushy Ventures instro, a trick <br/>repeated during the Owl Show when Kenn Ellner (vocalist of the Count V) <br/>played the Seekers' "Georgie Girl." These were too "rock" for KFJC. <br/>This might give you an idea of the atmosphere. <br/> <br/>There were three of us at KFJC that weren't in the theatre crowd. Three <br/>that wanted to do actual radio - top forty radio a la South Bay legend <br/>KLIV. Around 1966, Ben Boding, Len Shapiro and I convinced Ken Clarke <br/>to allow us to do rock 'n' roll radio on Saturdays from 9 Am until 3 <br/>PM. We each had two-hour shows. I was 9-11 AM. The first few records I <br/>played included the Chocolate Watchband "Sweet Young Thing" and the <br/>Sonics "Louie Louie." <br/> <br/>In early 1967, we were told that "combo saturday" was to be no more, <br/>effective immediately. It seemed the self-appointed saviors of theatre <br/>had pressured Clark to end what we were doing, and he did so without <br/>warning or allowing recourse. Like any good 19 year old, I went linear <br/>and got thrown out of KFJC by the dean after being accused of mental <br/>imbalance. It was very traumatic. <br/> <br/>By 1970, Clark was gone and there was rock programming on KFJC. It was <br/>trying to be like KMPX/KSAN. Within a few years, it was just playing <br/>records, no different than the other 7 or 8 progressive rock stations <br/>in the Bay Area. In 1978, there were a few upstarts that wanted to play <br/>the "new music," but they were getting intense pressure not to. A lock <br/>out and revolution later and KFJC was reborn. By 1980, power was <br/>boosted to 250 watts and the transmitter moved to the top of Black <br/>Mountain, allowing coverage to extend over most of the Bay Area. <br/> <br/>I found myself listening to the "new music" on KFJC and noticing that <br/>the "kids" on the air had a very shallow musical depth historically. I <br/>still recall the trigger event for me, a guy back announcing a punk <br/>band's version of a Bo Diddley song as a "Rolling Stones song." I <br/>decided to rejoin the station with the purpose of producing a rock <br/>history program. <br/> <br/>I started work on "waves," writing and researching, using my library <br/>and borrowing material from Encore Records via Stretch Rieldle. The <br/>idea was to look at the evolution of the music and its genres, not from <br/>a chart perspective, but through the innovators and trigger points. <br/>Unsung heroes and legends alike. Intended to be 13 half-hour episodes, <br/>it ended up being 132 episodes. <br/> <br/>In 1982, I took on a Sunday Afternoon show called "Relix," which had <br/>been an oldies show. I converted it to a garage band show, and added a <br/>10-minute weekly surf instro segment. It grew from there. <br/> <br/>Then in 1983, there was "Maximum Louie Louie." That story is on my site <br/>and elsewhere on the net. <br/> <br/>23 years surf has been on KFJC. Over 300 surfbands have played live in <br/>the Pit, plus a few legends like the Chocolate Watchband and <br/>Colorfinger. Remote live recordings add bands like the Eliminators, <br/>Hawkwind, Nik Turner's Space Ritual, Spiral Realms, the first South Bay <br/>Surf Band Reunion, Ron Wilson and the Surfaris at OT Prices, dozens of <br/>soundboard sessions at local clubs when surfbands played, and more. <br/> <br/>8 Surf CD's, 15 or more live surfband events on campus, and more than <br/>$250,000 raised for KFJC. I believe "Summer Surf" to be the first <br/>exclusive to the station live music fundraising CD. <br/> <br/>In the mean time, I proposed a real radio course for KFJC, wrote a text <br/>in it's 15th year and 30 revision, developed a DJ training lab course, <br/>sat in most management chairs at KFJC, and consulted on many decisions. <br/>I have recorded albums, mixed albums, and provided tracks on nearly a <br/>hundred releases. I launched Reverb Central in 1994, thinking I was <br/>going to be the last guy on earth on the internet. <br/> <br/>I have had amazing support from Uncle Al, Gallium Arsenide, Eric <br/>Weaver, Grawer, Doc Pelzel, Austin Space, and others that made all the <br/>live bands possible, and moral support from Ann Arbor. <br/> <br/>I've done everything I set out to do, and much more. Now, I need a <br/>change. <br/> <br/>Reverb Central continues with significant improvements in development. <br/>I want to do radio in some form, perhaps a podcast, or a station closer <br/>to home (KFJC is an hour away), or maybe syndication. This is all up in <br/>the air. No thought has gone into this right now. Most immediately, I <br/>need a break. My other newfound hobby also takes time out. <br/> <br/>http://www.reverbcentral.com/speeder/ <br/>http://narcoa.org/ <br/> <br/>There are other reasons as well. No one who has ever been at a non-com <br/>station has escaped the stupidity of the politics. Few have weathered <br/>as much for as long. I won't miss that at all. <br/> <br/>Phil Dirt <br/> <br/>PS - Anyone that can point me to a new position for income in the Santa <br/>Cruz or San Jose area would be helpful. I got laid off a while back and <br/>there's precious little management work available locally. Anyone <br/>interested in helping can email me off list. I have over thirty years <br/>in managing capital equipment manufacturing, document control, and <br/>training and teaching. I have major accomplishments in process <br/>improvement with big dollar savings, new product development, and more.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://surf-music.tribe.net">Surf Music</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>"Surf music is a definite style of heavy staccato picking with the flowing sound of a reverb unit to take away the flat tones on the guitar and make the notes seem endless. Very heavy guitar strings are used to elongate the sound from the vibration of the strings, not the feedback qualities of an amplifier. It becomes a very in-depth combination of things that, when put together, spells out true surf music." <br/> <br/>-- Dick Dale </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://surf-music.tribe.net">Surf Music</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Agent Orange makes Tony Hawk's Top Ten List <br/> <br/>Back in January, the San Diego Reader ran a story about the contents of Tony's iPOD, listing "Bloodstains" in his top five songs he loved as a budding skater. We know he still loves it, because he plays it on his radio show, Tony Hawk's Demolition Radio on SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO. The show is broadcast on Tuesdays at 4 pm PST from a custom designed SIRIUS studio next to the skate ramp at Hawk's new practice facility in California. It airs on SIRIUS' Faction // 28 channel, uncensored and commercial free. During the show, Tony takes calls from fans at 1- 877- HEY- HAWK (439- 4895).

<div>Credit: www.history-of-rock.com <br/> <br/>The new legion of predominately male teenaged surfers began to develop their own culture, dressing and speaking in a distinctive way. At high school the bleached-blonde surfers wore Pendleton shirts; sandals; whit, tight, and somewhat short levis; and baggies - very large, loose, boxer-style shorts. After school they jumped into oversized station wagons with wooden sides (woodies), which transported their polys (surfboards), drove to the beach and dashed to the ocean. They ran with their sticks (surfboards) into the soup (foaming water near the beach) and tried to catch a wave. Some would only "fun surf" on the three-to-six foot waves. The more daring surfers would carry their "Big guns" (surfboards designed for riding tall waves) into the water, pick up a "hairy" wave (a fast wave that is difficult to surf) and "shoot" (ride) it, sometimes "hot dogging" (performing tricks) to impress the "bunnies" (girls) on the shore. All surfers showed disdain for the poorly skilled or fraudulent, to whom they referred as "gremlins" or "kooks." <br/> <br/>Surfers listened to their own music that originated with Dick Dale and his Del-Tones. Born in Beirut, Dale (Richard Monsour) grew up on the Southern California coast and joined the hordes of young surfers. A guitar enthusiasts, Dale had released a few undistinctive singles on his own label in 1960. Dale worked closely with Leo Fender, the manufacturer of the first mass produced, solid body electric guitar and the president of Fender Instruments, to improve the Showman amplifier and to develop the reverberation unit that would give surf music its distinctively fuzzy sound. <br/> <br/>During the summer of 1961, Dale and his band unveiled the new surf sound during weekend dances at the Revendezvous Ballroom in Balboa, in Balboa, California <br/> <br/>Dick Dale and the Del-Tones released records for the surf crowd. In September, 1961, "Lets Go Trippin'" topped the California charts and edged toward the national Top Fifty. Dale followed with "Surfbeat," "Surfing Drums," and "Shake 'n' Stomp," and in 1962 produced the classical surf instrumental, "Miserlou." In early 1963, Capitol Records signed Dale and called him the King of the Surf Guitar. The same year he appeared in William Asher direct movie Beach Party, and by 1963 had become a California celebrity. <br/> <br/>By the end of 1963, surf music had become a national craze. <br/> <br/>http://www.history-of-rock.com/surfinstrumentals.htm <br/> <br/>http://www.history-of-rock.com/beach_boys.htm</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://surf-music.tribe.net">Surf Music</a> - 1 reply </div>
