Tunes
Fitting in with TBB's theme. Saw them live late last year, great guitar sounds for a cruisy groove out.
Secret Surf Sound Series (Part4)
Cheers Blackers...tbb will wrap up his set...(Might revisit if tbb can get deeper back in time...)
Ok...tbb is Surfing like a Hot Dog...let's flip this back to the raw Wild Ride.
Only fair to let the crew surf their own wild Party Wave to Shore
tbb saved a collection of early Proto surf Kooks to blow yer tiny minds...
Many of these Twisted Sounds scream Surf Guitar but also Psych Punk or even new wave.
This Hot Wax mix will wipe out the crew on a Sound Party Wave of the Day.
This First track is a bit of a mystery...Well mostly for the date it was recorded.
1958 El Tecolote by Calvin Cool & The Surf Knobs (Song is Light Years ahead of it's time)
Verify the Date on this Flip Single...tbb swears he read 1957 > 1958 recorded as a flip
Reckon it was just too way out to consider a full A/B investment...be lucky they scooped this!
https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/the-kingsmen-calvin-cool/weeken...
Has impossible uber cool cred & ticks off Psych / Surf / Swamp / Punk...
WOTD Get onto this sweet ride...once ya hear this ya can relate to none in the day getting on board.
Wonder if even just one knew that us 2025 Ai Robots would fucking flip over it!
You'll swear yer surfing a time machine that hyperloops from 1958 to 1967 Freaks on Acid Beach
1963/64 Same Acid Freak Kooks release extra track Beach Bash + The Surfers Beat LP Trip out

1958 Fast Freight by Arvee Allens (Who!) Ritchie Valens hanging loose Shh!
Way Back Attack...
https://www.waybackattack.com/strangers.html
The Strangers were likely the first Surf Punks
Their first Track 'Cockroach Crawl' produced by The Storms Deadbeat Surf Emo Jody.
Was toned down as slightly less creepy Caterpillar Crawl > (Featured in Part 1)
1959 Hill Stomp was said to turn yer tranny into a Vibrator.
1959 The Scarlets ~ Stampede (Big Wave band) Take the Drop > Go For it!
@tearymassueuse...
after your musical interlude post on the USA thread, i had to go and check the KEXP youtube of Kinski.
I've lost touched since the 7 (or8) album, that i loved, but fk me, your jolting reminder got me back on track, on the double!
Appreciate it.
As that bloke used to say, "do youself a favour"
More surf gitar sounds
Off piste but seems pertinent.
Carlos Santana recovering from Covid
Good luck
Took my kids to see Santana when they were 10 & 14 at Acer Arena Sydney or whatever it's called now.
So good.
Interesting fact , Santana started his career playing strip clubs in Tijuana when he was 15 .

Nice work Shoredump.

?si=rzaWojSzHZvfZFHL Plenty of fab trax from the crew...
tbb just took a wrong turn and the crew just earned some ultra rare 70's Skateboard Chords.
Do not ask how this happened...got no idea & never ever heard any of these gems...
These Clips weren't even supposed to load...not officially a thing...worth a laugh though!
Pretty sure tbb broke YouTube again...gonna get busted big time!
So don't go picking on tbb for mucking this up...just get yer groove on & roll with the gang!
Like be honest...has any of the crew ever heard these skater trax...
It's like some ai parallel universe...are we getting a Trump fisty pump '70's do-over or something.
Trump : "Skateboarding...I started that craze and the YoYo...that was me too...right! Ok then!"
Sounds pretty fucked up either way...doin' me head in...
Coz these '70's Trax would've been banned under our Skater curfew in Qld Police State.
Ready for some Red Hot Taboo ~ 1970's Skater Dater Porn!

Sorry the Russell two, there was no Film clip.... but the whole session was done in one day, the Band Fat Bubbles, only heard the song at 10.00 am on Sunday morning, and co wrote the B side on the go with the songwriters of Skate Board Queen. The whole recording session finished at 3.00 AM on Monday morning, and by Tuesday/Wednesday, the record was going out to the Radio Station... Interesting and fascinating times ...!!!!
@rbrucemusic7702
And yes, I can confirm that the recording session ended at 3am on Monday morning -- although for somebody that had to get up for work at 5:30am to go to work, it seemed like it went on much longer than that!
B. B.
Remember this only too well. Was recorded (mostly) and then mixed right next door to where we lived at the time -- Mike Loxton's studio on High Street Armadale.
@smrqc
I had the idea on Thursday driving to work at Astor Records. Steve Groves and I wrote in on Friday. Recorded both sides Sat & Sun. Mr Madafferi’s memory of just Sunday is just short of correct. It was finished as stated at 3.00am Monday morning and taken to Astor Records at 8.00 am. It was pressed that morning, sent interstate and was on air in Sydney Monday eve. This must be the only copy in existence. I have the label but not the record. It was all a bit of madness, especially the outdoor recording at Midnight Sat eve of a car screeching to a stop on High Street Armidale. Did three takes then ran inside Michael Loxton’s studio and turned the lights off before the cops came. Also, we rang a female friend of Michaels at one am and got her to come in an do the mad laugh that is on the track. The band were from down the lane near the studio. Steve Groves sang all the vocals (not part of the band). Probably the fastest created single every made in Oz. Hilarious fun. Think it got to number 5 on 7HO Hobarts charts. Hope this helps.
@tassherb
The original version only went for 2 minutes something. Someone on the internet has put this longer mix together.
Skateboard Queen "Unofficial" Countdown 'Skateboarding' Video aired on 30th Nov 1975
http://pub24.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2015862427&frmid...
Interesting that clicking this banned vid > links to this featured ARIA screen...
So why was this Vid censored > Possibly Topless Teen Surfie Chix on Beaches (That'd do it!)
Quite a lot of then innocent '70's ABC Topless / Camel Toe Chix footage is now off limits > banned
Especially if it was some VIP Pollie's Grom Chiko Chick...be well groomed & off limits.

@gvanooran
There was a film clip shown when the song was first played on Countdown, however the ABC obviously just threw some stock footage together so that they had some visuals when they played the song. Was there a Perth connection to this band?
@deborahvoigt581
I'm sure I saw a clip on Count Down of the band performing this. Been looking for it ever since. I'm rapt to find this audio version.
@paulbiegler5967
There was a film clip - I was in it - we all skateboarding in the carpark next to elsternwick station and we even had the queen with foxtail hanging from her funky blue jeans....if you find the video please post would love to see it
Bonus Extra
* (Fat Bubbles - Studio Group from Melbourne)
* (Songwriter) Steve Groves from Tin Tin + loads of '60's / 70's alt bands

Repeating that this edgy Comedian may have innocently framed a bog standard Surfie Chiko Chick!
Now considered the work of the devil...like a sand modelling Educational film with White pointers!

tbb will bookmark / footnote this as Part 1 in a swellnet Supa '70's Skater Series.
Got a feeling tbb has unearthed the Gates to Hell...is there more of this Skate Porn...we shall soon see!
As said...this was alternate '70's pre Punk or Flipside Punk...might be worth digging a little deeper...
Coz if this Alt Oz Skater Vid is taboo...might be tempted to jump on board this freak beat!
See if we can track down some Hell Fire Skater Punk Track...be cool to sound out that evil flip side.
Like is there a Kick Flip Moment where we ditch the Blue Jeans Doo Wop < [Warning] > Skater Punk.
Ok! tbb thinks this is doable...dangerous but worth the risk...gotta wear headphones is that right?
Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.
Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.
