The Verbtones "Vampiro Classics" 2004

Surf Monster sounds and dance music. An album like this is enough to scare a body into dancing anything from the "Twist"... "Watusi"... "Swim"... "Surf"... and even the lowly fox trot. And without losing a DEAD beat...Pacific Northwest Surf. You naturally think of bands like Satan's Pilgrims, The Surf Trio and other great surf bands based out of Portland, Oregon. The Verbtones are working to earn a spot on that list.
The band was formed in 2001 by VFF (Verbtones Founding Father) and lead guitar player Kyle Alaniz who recruited Steve Lewis on skins and Tom Wheatley on electric bass and Steve King on guitar. Together they showcase their haunting, spine-chilling vintage-yet-modern surf melodies to ho-dads and grimmy's in Oregon and beyond. These lads have a true love for today's surf music and a respect for their surfin' forefathers that have influenced their unique sound... a time capsule from yesterday that some how seems right for today. "Think? The Munsters going surfing" - from cd baby

trax:
1. Carnival of souls (Trip through the catacombs) 2. Undead Theme (The winged riders) 3. Flight of the vampyre 4. Ghost Wave 5. The Spider 6. Matador
…originally served by Eek! The Cat (R.I.P.)…

Formed in Edinburgh by two former members of the Bay City Rollers. After their demise in 1978, three of them joined the The Alan Parsons Project. Their biggest hits were "Magic", "January", "Call Me Round" and "Just A Smile", all of them in 1974, and 1975. They worked closely with Alan Parsons, who produced much of their material.[discogs]my links
