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...

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.
