Hello All

From time to time I come across requests for surf music here on the boards. So, after discovering a couple of tracks this weekend that are definitely associated with the sport, I thought I might try putting them on their own thread here in Alt/Indie land to see if there is any interest.

First Track:

Title: El Gato
The Band: The Chandelles
The Sound: Surf Music (obviously)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9GPdFDN3cc
... From what I gather this track is kind of hard to find...

Second Track:
From Psychedelic Desert Groove (1996)

Title: Unknown
(If someone could find the title to this track that would be great)
The Band: Yothu Yindi
The Sound: Australian Indie Rock (Aboriginal)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8-NFwk9-Dc
At Time: 35:54 - The other tracks are pretty good too...
Wikipedia: Yothu Yindi

This track worked real well at the end of the film which showed some of the most intensive surfing.

Surf seems to be (or was) big in japan. A pretty big band called Blankey Jet City were very surf tinged.

Also, for modern surf check out Bambi Molesters. The best surf band working today according to one of REM.
