"The Incredible Sucking Spongies", is a fine surf/instro combo, founded in 1997 on the exotic beach of Antwerp. Ex-members of the combo "Los Huertos" (Jan Dean on lead guitar, Phill B on bass and Dick RosenDale on drums) joined forces with Dick VdB (rhythm guitar).
Adventures in country & western, sixties classics, mysterious exotica, jazz and obscure TV tunes created a unique sound mix, all combined to an exciting Surf Cocktail with both spongies originals, bizarre interpretations and classic hits.
In 2002, the first professional recordings were made and won the Demopoll contest on national radio station Studio Brussel. The winning track "Sad Moose" was released in September '02 on the Demopoll promo cd.
Our promo cd "Let There be Surf!.." was rewarded with 4 stars by the legendary Phil Dirt (Reverb Central, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) THE reference in surf music!..
A new member joined the band: fresh GoGo Girl "Lolita Tequila"!.. Just experience the blasting "spongies" live shows with its notorious on stage dance act!..

The Incredible Sucking Spongies "Let There Be Surf"

Thanks for this, RYP. Growing up in Southern California in the early 60s I was awash in Surf and Hot Rod music and although I loved the vocal groups I was never into the instrumentals too much. I liked The Ventures "Walk Don't Run" and The Shadows "Apache" but otherwise I usually tuned out when instrumentals came on the radio. Then I saw Dick Dale at a tiny club in Kansas City in 1972 and he blew the roof off of the place and I was hooked. And no methadone in sight.
The Incredible Sucking Spongies are not a whole lot different from other Surf Revival Instrumental groups but they have a drive and stamina that is all their own. Belgium? Of course. If everybody had an ocean...
I scraff up every Surf record I can. I want to swim in reverb, drown in reverb, be entombed in reverb! I like these demos.
Thanks again.
Thanks, RYP!
Thanks for another dose of surf RYP!
