The Surfaris – Moon dawg ( USA instrumental surf guitar )
Donnerstag, den 1. Juli 2010The original band members were Ron Wilson (drums), Jim Fuller (Lead guitar), Bob Berryhill (rhythm guitar) and Pat Connolly (bass). Saxophone player Jim Pash joined after their “Wipe Out” / “Surfer Joe” recording sessions at Pal Studios. Ken Forssi, later of Love, played bass with The Surfaris, as well as Jack Oldham, who performed with the group from 1966-1967, including a performance at the 1967 Grammy Awards. Wilson’s energetic drum solo made “Wipe Out” one of the best-remembered instrumental song of the period. “Wipe Out” is also remembered particularly for its introduction before the music starts, a cracking sound (imitating a breaking surf board), and a maniacal laugh followed by the only two words of the song, “wipe out”. “Wipe Out” is often regarded as being the surfing anthem.[citation needed] “Wipe Out” was written in the studio by the four original members (Berryhill, Connolly, Fuller, Wilson), and was originally going to be titled “Switchblade”. The band released a series of records, with two other singles, “Surfer Joe” and “Point Panic”, having an impact on the charts. Point Panic is a renowned surfing venue in Hawaii named after the song. The Surfaris disbanded in 1966 but have periodically reunited and are still active as of 2008[update], performing and recording, often re-recording their old and new songs. They still perform as Bob Berryhill’s Surfaris and Jim Fuller’s Surfaris (two separate groups) all over United States and Europe with a large fan base …

Bob Spickard, Brian Carman (co-writers of Pipeline), Bob Welch, Warren Waters and Rob Marshall were all students at Santa Ana High School in California, when they were inspired by a local group called The Rhythm Rockers. Spickard, Carman, Welch, Waters and Marshall got together forming The Chantays. The Chantays recorded and released their hit “Pipeline” in December 1962. “Pipeline” began to get radio play pushing it up the charts in 1963. The Chantays recorded their first full album in 1963 entitled Pipeline which included Pipeline, Blunderbus and El Conquistador. Their follow up was Two Sides of The Chantays in 1964. Their music combined electronic keyboards and surf guitar, creating a unique ghostly sound. Their songs have been on music charts all over the world which helped make surf music an international success. The Chantays toured Japan and the US joining the Righteous Brothers and Roy Orbison on a few occasions, and were the only rock and roll band to perform on the Lawrence Welk Show.
