"KFJC 2000 - Water Logged"

This is a compilation of surf bands from around the world recorded in the KFJC studios.
Water Logged is the fourth in KFJC's series of fundraising surf CD's. It rounds up 22 instrumental surf bands from around the world caught live exclusively for KFJC. As you listen to this CD, you'll be taken on a journey to many exotic and far away places where reverb is king.
The Bay Area is well represented here, and so is the Southland, plus the Pacific Northwest and Austin, and we even have bands from far away Italy and Finland.
Mega thanks to all of the bands that donated these performances. Without them, the music goes away. Special thanks also to Ferenc Dobronyi for the artwork, Alison and Nina Wilson for the Ron Wilson release, and especially all the folks at KFJC. The biggest thanks goes to you for appreciating surf music and making my Saturday nights worth while. This CD is for you. - Phil Dirt at Reverb Central

The Sadies "Precious Moments" 1998

Knife fights, bitter arguments about nothing and lots of long walks on stormy nights... And those are just the instrumental tracks. — Toronto Star
Give the Sadies credit for attempting something new and different -- their brand of insurgent country also draws heavily on diverse inspirations ranging from classic surf music to garage rave-ups to murder ballads to spaghetti western soundtracks. Recorded by Steve Albini, Precious Moments doesn't reinvent alt-country, but neither does it simply recycle the same ideas worn out by other newcomers to the genre; even if everything on this debut LP isn't successful, at least it refuses to play it safe. - Review by Jason Ankeny

Alex Chilton "Live at the Howlin Wolf New Orleans" 1994 - disc 2

“This is a pretty good-sounding set. Basically, a no-frills SBD broadcast over the air, but the band is pretty tight. And yes, there is a bit of a buzz through the whole thing, but for Alex Chilton, that almost seems right - a certain “Je ne sais quoi”, if you will. It sort of puts you right there in the club.” - Dime
At his haunted best, (Alex) Chilton sings like someone with a gun being held to his head; reluctance and release flow together in a prurient lifeforce sap being forced from the orchard’s sorriest tree. (At his worst, he sounds like someone’s holding a checkbook on him; few reputable performers can sound as distracted or uninterested in a studio performance.) Wisely, at least for Chilton, he got over the self-immolating allure of his endeavors early on, dropping out of the music grind for much of the ’80s - after barely contributing to it in the half of the ’70s left when Big Star collapsed…

Pollo Del Mar "The Golden State" 2004

"Their sound is deep and vast, with an element of mystery compelling to anyone who has ever found themselves staring out to sea and sensing its power" - Cozmik Debris
Pollo Del Mar drags surf music kicking and screaming into the new millinneum, updating the classic sound of twangy, reverb soaked Fender guitars by mixing in layers of atmospheric feedback, and pummeling it all deep into the ocean with a powerhouse rhythm section. Pollo Del Mar's all instrumental set consists of original songs, with the occasional vintage surf tune, or interpretations of compositions by Edvard Grieg, Frank Zappa, Henry Mancini, and The Dead Kennedys.
Your hosts for the evening: Jono Jones suavely stands at center stage; his greatest guitar influences: Hugh Hefner and David Niven. Jeff Turner on fretless bass, a portable energy packet and low-end rocket launch pad. Jeremy Rexford, beating the skins into submission, teaching them a painful lesson they will not soon forget! Ferenc Dobronyi, versatile man about town, roadie, do-gooder and occasional lead guitarist. Formed in 1993, 3 Studio CDs, 1 Live CD, appearances on 20 tributes and compilation CDs, 1 European tour and a Japan tour is planned for November 2005. All instrumental, lots of odd influences, but still based in the surf sound.

Sonido Gallo Negro "Sendero Mistico" 2013

“The Mystic Path (Sendero Mistico) begins in Mexico City's daily existence. Wrapped inside it, tributes and favors solicited from pagan deities silently remain. These picturesque rituals and sorceries occur day after day; however, they are looked upon with a gaze accustomed to the extravagant. Exotic treasures are assimilated as part of daily life.” - liner notes written by Sonido Gallo Negro for “Sendero Mistico”
Sonido Gallo Negro (Black Rooster Sound) is a stunning 9-piece, instrumental combo from east Mexico City (Aragon) that channels both the mystique and mysticism of 1960’s Peruvian cumbia. The band integrates styles like Amazonian cumbia, huayno, sonidero cumbia, boogaloo and chicha with electric guitars, Farfisa organ, Theremin, flute and of course fluid Latin percussion. Spaghetti western soundtracks, psychedelia and surf music also echo in their compositions.
Their premiere album Cumbia Salvaje (Wild Cumbia) was released in Mexico in 2011 and it quickly catapulted them out of Mexico City’s heated underground scene and onto major festival and television performances. Albeit a very young group, they were invited in 2012 to the Kustendorf Festival in Serbia, curated by the famed Serbian Director Emir Kusturica (Time of the Gypsies). Also in 2012, they performed in Italy and Spain.
Their shimmering second album, Sendero Mistico (out in Mexico in 2013) will be their first ever-international release, and Glitterbeat’s first full-fledged release away from the African continent.
On the new album Sonido Gallo Negro follow the lay lines between cumbian sounds and instrumental rhumba tracing the heritage left by masters like Jaime Llano, Tulia Enrique Leon and the Hammond driven sounds of Eduardo Azurite. But for all its glances to the past, this is decidedly contemporary music, also evoking the band’s collective love of indie rock and post-psychedelic moods and textures.
The mind-bending ritual of this music can best be understood by witnessing their live show. Clothed in monk robes and backed by spectral video and light projections, on stage Sonido Gallo Negro is a very impressive proposition.
The band’s liner notes for Sendero Mistico climaxes with this sentence: Instrumental cumbia can show you impressive, disconcerting and mysterious images, where everything invisible becomes present. This is instrumental music with discernible and bold intentions. The Black Rooster Sound has arrived. It is time to set your controls to the heart of: Sonido Gallo Negro.

Southern Culture On The Skids "Live At Yep Roc 15" 2020

Southern Culture On The Skids has been consistently recording & touring around the world since 1983...
...The band (Rick Miller – guitar & vocals, Mary Huff – bass & vocals, Dave Hartman – drums) has been playing together for 30+ years. Their live shows are a testament to the therapeutic powers of foot-stomping, butt-shaking rock-n-roll & what Rolling Stone dubbed “a hell raising rock and roll party.”

The Challengers "Killer Surf" 1994

Yes, there are LOTS of surf music compilations available on CD these days; most that I've come across are decent, but seem to have lots of mediocre "filler" songs in between the truly hep classics like "Miserlou" or "Pipeline." This rings true even with solid groups like The Ventures or, the abovementioned group, The Challengers…
...This particular Challengers collection is especially good if you are new to the surf music sound, and wish to find a strong album put out by one specific group. The variety is diverse in this collection, starting off with the peppy "Lanky Bones" (in my opinion, one of the under-appreciated surf guitar tunes!), going into a misty Tel-Star (sheer nostalgic bliss for early baby-boomers!), and following with 28 more strong tunes. Great versions/covers of the classics are there:Pipeline, Penetration, Mr. Moto (Moto is a particularly interesting surf tune if you listen to various groups' versions; same song, same melody, yet each group that covers this particular song puts a noticeably different instrumental spin on the piece. This version is one of my favorites as the guitar dominates the song, but a cool saxophine highlights the melody a half way through the piece), and lesser known (albeit fabulous!) songs like "Roller Derby" (a methodical but cutting guitar tune, similar to "Bullwinkle") K-39 and Cruel Sea. If there is a weakness to this album, it can only be if you could do without those "Almost Muzak" surf hits like "Lonely Bull," "The Work Song" or "Telstar." Although straight Muzak makes me ill, I do enjoy the majority of surf/department-store tunes. They are present on this CD, but not in a big honking dose! If you are a surf music fan, this CD is a must! If you're looking for just one solid surf CD for your collection, I would readily rank this on the top 5. - By K. Brown "El Rudo Lucky Pierre!"

Miles Davis "E.S.P." 1965

ESP marks the beginning of a revitalization for Miles Davis, as his second classic quintet -- saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams -- gels, establishing what would become their signature adventurous hard bop...
...Miles had been moving toward this direction in the two years preceding the release of ESP and he had recorded with everyone outside of Shorter prior to this record, but his addition galvanizes the group, pushing them toward music that was recognizably bop but as adventurous as jazz's avant-garde. Outwardly, this music doesn't take as many risks as Coltrane or Ornette Coleman's recordings of the mid-'60s, but by borrowing some of the same theories -- a de-emphasis of composition in favor of sheer improvisation, elastic definitions of tonality -- they created a unique sound that came to define the very sound of modern jazz. Certainly, many musicians have returned to this group for inspiration, but their recordings remain fresh, because they exist at this fine dividing line between standard bop and avant. On ESP, they tilt a bit toward conventional hard bop (something that's apparent toward the end of the record), largely because this is their first effort, but the fact is, this difference between this album and hard bop from the early '60s is remarkable. This is exploratory music, whether it's rushing by in a flurry of notes or elegantly reclining in Hancock's calm yet complex chords. The compositions are brilliantly structured as well, encouraging such free-form exploration with their elliptical yet memorable themes. This quintet may have cut more adventurous records, but ESP remains one of their very best albums. - Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Pollo Del Mar ‎"Live In Japan Town" 2002

"The Fine Print: Truth be told, this CD was not recorded in Japantown. Our original intention was to record at The Japanese Bowl in San Francisco, but they went out of business, so we moved to the soundstage at Lennon Rehearsal, which is in the South Of Market District, a good mile and a half from Japantown. And, if you were wondering, pretty much every photo in this package is a fake, except for the live shots taken at The Mystic Theater in Petaluma." In keeping with the "spirit" of the release, all liner notes by Hiroshi Ugata are in Japanese. - From inside booklet
How would you like to vicariously attend a concert in California and Japan at the same time? Surf-rockers Pollo Del Mar recorded a gig in a section of San Francisco, Calif., called Japan Town. Because some audiences in other countries are receptive to entertainment that mainstream America ignores, this recording makes sense. Pollo Del Mar, a band that proclaims to be taking instrumental surf-rock kicking and screaming into the 21st century, already has an following here and is interested in infiltrating oriental surf and turf. This show is a good start.
Three shadowy songs from the first two PDM albums begin the show. After the spooky "Annabelle Lee," PDM plunges into a surprising and exceptionally well-played medley of "Baby Elephant Walk," "Music To Watch Girls By" and "Linus & Lucy." The skill with which they segue from one song to another indicates a lot of talent, work and professionalism. Mystifying as it might seem, I can envision Ozric Tentacles playing some of the material on this album. In particular, "231-B" and "Ubik" sound like PDM has entered Ozric territory and done so convincingly. That's a big prog-surf compliment, coming from me.
A cover of Led Zep's "Four Sticks," without vocals, is equally intriguing as part of another medley including "Moon Over Marin" and the rocking, "Devil's Slide." Whatever you do, do not confuse PDM's "Route 666" with any version of "Route 66" that you've heard. Both songs are great, but quite different. "Route 666" has no lyrics and it cooks, as does the song after it, entitled, "Insecticide." Remember Steve Garrett and Kurt Cobain? Keep listening.
Maybe you've heard the theory that most music albums have maybe two or three really good songs and the rest is filler. This CD is an exception. You are strongly encouraged to check these guys out for yourself at www.pollodelMar.com - By David Lilly

Urban Surf Kings "Bang Howdy Partner" 2008

North Atlantic surf with a twist of Spaghetti Western twang.
Halifax-based/instro-MeNTaL trio, Urban Surf Kings, is proud to present their 4th and grooviest full length for your listening and dancing pleasure . This 15 song recording contains the surf you’ve grown to love, along with a healthy dose of Spaghetti Western Twang thrown in the mix.
And speaking of recording, this one’s done old-fashioned style, without all that fancy studio polish. Heck, the drums are in mono! Right up the centre. Right like surf & twang should be. Plus it’s mastered by California surf legend Phil Dirt!
This platter includes soon to be hits like "Muchos Diablos", "Hrundi Goes West", and "Rumble Ranchero" (hail to Link Wray on this one). "Hrundi Goes West" may be the first surf meets India song ever recorded (then again, maybe not, but we haven’t heard one).
USK were excited to record a brand new tune penned by the Man From Adano himself, David Britten. His tune "Renegade" is a fitting closer for the disc. For those of you seasoned enough to remember David's "Man From Adano", it was recorded in 1963 by Canadian legends, and Capitol Recording artists: the Esquires. 'Adano' kept the Beatles away from #1 up here in the Great White North. Incidently USK first met David, and some of the Esquires when they re-recorded 'Adano' for their "Surf vs the Flying Saucers"
2008 is the Year of Surf, so won't you pick up "Bang Howdy Partner"? Plus the songs feature some lap steel, and even a bit of Ukulele. Now that's hip! - cdbaby

Alex Chilton "Clichés" 1993

I would imagine Alex has taken some heat for this CD of mostly old standards done solo with acoustic guitar. However, the song choices are consistently terrific, and the performances are heartfelt without any of the pitfalls this sort of performance can encounter (sappy, overly ironic, overly interpreted). The songs are performed in an understated way that allows the qualities of the songs themselves to stand equal with the caring performance. I have returned to this CD often over the past couple of years. - amazon
Being fortunate to have witnessed Chilton perform on numerous occasions perhaps makes it easier to appreciate this particular recording. There's no denying the sincere affinity and respect for the material exhibited here. I challenge anyone to mention a more heartfelt rendition of Torme's 'Christmas Song'. Nary a hint of shmaltz. Chilton effortlessly evokes the ghost of Chet Baker with interpretations of 'Time After Time', 'Let's Get Lost', and 'There Will Never Be Another You', while demonstrating an on-going appreciation for Nat King Cole ('Somewhere Along the Way'), evident from an earlier recording of 'Nature Boy', included among several intriguing bonus tracks for the CD release of Big Star's Third/Sister Lovers LP. Also worthy of mention: an abbreviated acoustic rendition of Bach's 'Gavotte', which I recall Chilton performing on electric guitar during a wonderful Sunday afternoon performance at Tipitina's bar in New Orleans, back in the mid-80's. Memorable days. I'm finding this recording in constant rotation on my playlist. - By Kevin Gallaugher

Sonido Gallo Negro "Cumbia Salvaje" 2011

Formed in 2011 in Mexico City, the three men spent weeks and months discussing and rehearsing the vision for the music they wanted to make. Two thirds of its core membership came from instrumental garage rock bands, so the sounds of surf and neo-psych loomed large. When rhythms were added, the classic Peruvian cumbia was evoked and the disease spread as güiro rhythms began to embrace cumbia sounds from across Latin America, and even revisionist sounds from Europe...
...The band issued its debut album, Cumbia Salvaje, in 2012 as an homage to the golden age of Peruvian cumbia. In Mexico City, they were already known for their intense, orgiastic live shows; the album release quickly catapulted them out of Mexico's underground scene and onto international festival stages and the television circuit. Albeit a very young group, they were invited to perform at that year's Kustendorf Festival in Serbia, curated by the famed Serbian Director Emir Kusturica (Time of the Gypsies). Additionally, they performed in Italy and Spain. - by Thom Jurek

Southern Culture On The Skids "Kudzu Records Presents" 2020

The 45 box set “Kudzu Records Presents” is the rarest of all Kudzu Records releases. Only 1000 units were pressed. It was an “all analog” project that was recorded to a 16 track 2” tape machine and mixed down to a ½” master tape by Rick and Mark Williams at the Kudzu Ranch...
...“I edited the songs together and took the ½” master tapes to Nashville, where I had mastering engineer Randy Kling cut the lacquers on his Neumann lathe. Then I took the lacquers straight to United Pressing and had them plated. It was really fun and I got an up-close education on making vinyl records!”, Rick recalls. “And when I got back to the Kudzu Ranch I digitized the ½ masters right away for a future digital release. I am so glad we are finally getting to it. Even better now because the band is expanding the original project with four more covers and two original instrumentals.” The original six songs included on “Kudzu Records Presents” were heavy on NOLA recording artists and songs: Jesse Hill (“Whip It On Me), Ernie K. Doe (“Certain Girl”) and Smiley Lewis “(“Lost Weekend “and “One Night of Sin”). The other two cuts had Mary Huff hitting The Pretty Things catalog with her take on “Buzz the Jerk” and “Midnight to Six”. On the new album, we have added four more of our favorite songs by our favorite artists. Here is a bit more info about the additional cover tunes. “Devil with The Blue Dress On” is based on the version by Shorty Long. “Shorty wrote the song and his version is the best” says Rick. “lots of people have covered this song but very few do it as greasy and groovy as Shorty”. Doug Sahm has been an inspiration to the band since day one and his version of “Is Anybody Going to San Antone” is one of our favorites. Check out Mary doing her best to channel Augie Meyers with her Farfisa playing on this cut. “Just Like You Treat Me” is a Howling Wolf song that Mary fattens up with some flatulent Moog grooves while Rick lays down a chugged out Diddling Daddy rhythm guitar. And, Dave’s driving beat puts in the forward momentum turn the Willie Dixon penned tune into a SCOTS swamp stomper. The last song is a Slim Whitman gospel number from the late 50’s. “I am a Slim Whitman fan” Rick adds, “His lonesome yodel gets stuck in my craw. I can’t yodel like Slim so we got Mary to add a high sci-fi vocal and then we topped it off with some strange whistling gospel organ. I sang the lyrics thorough a bullet mic and that gave the song a revival tent, cinder block am radio vibe. Yeah!” The two instrumentals on included on the album are original compositions in a southern groove. “The instros fit in with the vibe of the record” Rick says. “The Bank Walker" is the soundtrack to walking along the Eno River sipping from a warm tall boy on a hot summer evening. “Tripping at the Admiral Benbow” name checks the Memphis hotel of the same name where the band used to stay (and party - HARD)! "Tripping" is a bastard Memphis groove with a psychedelic edge, Bon Voyage!

"Teenage Shutdown" - Vol 8 - She'll Hurt You In The End

Teener Garage Explosion Volume 2!
This is one of the COOLEST darn records y'all are gonna hear! This comp. features some of the best dance-oriented garage pounders ever put on wax! The great thing about this record is that it explores some of the more soulful sounds produced by "garage" bands in the 60's. The SOUL is what sets this collection apart from the often lame "garage" collections that have plagued music fans since the 80's. Moden "garage" wanna-be hipsters could improve themselves by absorbing some of the soul on this stellar disk! - By jason gilmour (Toronto, Ontario)

...Second, it's all recorded live at, by, or near KFJC by me. Third, the bands are all great, and the performances magical. Ferenc Dobronyi of Pollo Del Mar did the gorgeous artwork, and I mastered tracks and cut the CD-R for the pressing. - Phil Dirt at Reverb Centra
