SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION 2000... AFTER DERK

UH OH!!! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD, BABY!

DAG YO! The Big Derboski is out here wilin' in the nuclear apocalypse! How did I get down here? Well, it's a long story and I feel like regalin' this old tale so grab a seat, fink, cause it's time for a tall tale, ya dig?

OK so back in October during Count Von Derkula's nightmare mash on the Surfphony of Derstruction B000, I crashed the party to have a good time with all the ghouls 'n' ghosts. Never one to turn down a brew, I accepted a drink from Mr. Mephistopheles, SATAN HIMSELF. My judgment was a bit clouded from the bloody marys that Count Von Derkula was servin' up OK? So I downed the drink and, lemme tell you, I had one helluva hangover. Not only that but SATAN cursed the drink in order to open the gates of hell on Earth, using me as the vessel. This was documented on Episode 11 of the Surfphony of Derstruction but a little exorcising took care of that problem. That though was only one small part of the big picture though... The damage was already done even though I gave the ghouls a good ol' heave-ho and the dawn of the earth's destruction came to bear. I was not quite live but still alive on Episode 12 of the Big Surf to give you a low down on what was going down! All hell broke loose in Hell City and, as a professional, the Big Derboski sought to bring Surf to you finks despite the apocalypse... and here we are now!

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 AD by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

The Big Derboski is back in the new year, THE YEAR 20XX to bring you more Surf from around the Earth, although the Earth is not what it once was... Oh no, it's now the NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE OH MAN!

Despite the nuclear winter that much of the world has been thrown into, I'm doin OK... good enough to bring you more surf on this full moon WOOOO!!!

SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION 2000 EPISODE 2... THOUSAND!

WHAT'S HAPPENING???

WOOO I will tell you what is happening! It is the return of The Surfphony of Derstruction 2000! I'm here again to bring you EPISODE TWO.... THOUSAND!!! It's been a busy month here in Hell City but that doesn't mean you're gonna lose out on some Surf from around the Earth! Every full moon, when the tide is high, the BIG SURF will be here to help you hang ten!

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 - Episode 2 by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

DIG IT here's a playlist for your perusal!

Set 1 - Dirty Copz

Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet - Good Cop Bad Cop
Davie Allan & The Arrows - Rumble
Huevos Rancheros - Smartbomb
The Ramblin' Ambassadors - Speed Wobble

Set 2 - STOMP!

Les Jaguars - Guitare Jet
The Baymen - Day Break
Avengers VI - Avengers Stomp
Los Straitjackets - Galaxy Drive

Set 3 - Miser-WOOOOO!
Dick Dale - Misirlou Twist
The Jades - Surfin' Crow
Southern Culture on The Skids - Meximelt
Bobby Fuller 4 - Misirlou

So, if you didn't catch my previous preview post about Dick Dale's Misirlou, then I highly suggest checking it out. What are ya waitin' for, ya chump?! I want ya to listen to the podcast so rather than dump all the neat facts about Misirlou here, why don't you download the episode and let the Doctor of Surf teach ya a little something!

I mentioned that I had consulted a fantastic book about the history of Surf music by Kent Crowley, Surf Beat: Rock'n'Roll's Forgotten Revolution, for some info about Dick Dale. If you wanna check that book out for yerself, hit up the Amazon link right over here. It's only fifteen bucks Canadian so that's not bad at all! I highly recommend this book. Obvious revelation, I know, but if you're at all interested in the Surf music scene and Wikipedia isn't doing it for ya, then GET THIS BOOK. It's hella in-depth and there's so much good information about all sorts of Surf bands, eras, styles, and what-have-you. The author, Kent Crowley, grew up in the scene, he was there man, and he definitely knows his stuff. It's really interesting to read about the evolution of Surf, from Dick Dale's audial simulation of surfin' to The Beach Boys and their vocal harmony stuff. It's cool, man, real KOOL.

If ya want a little sample, then check out this neat interview with Kent Crowley by the folks over at Book Club Live. Crowley talks a bit about how the technology came about, what Surf music meant, and a few neat anecdotes like how he was taught guitar by Norman Sanders of The Tornadoes.

Now, I'm always one to play Canadian Surf on the Surfphony. Ya gotta show some love for the Canucks and there is some great music coming out of The Great White North when it comes to Surf. From all over the nation, we have The Ramblin' Ambassadors, who released their latest album, Ramble On, in March 2012. You can check out the Bandcamp page and purchase the album there. We also have The High Tides and Luau or Die! rockin' the Toronto scene something fierce!

There's one classic Surf band outta Quebec that I really dig and that is Les Jaguars. They were out in the scene from around '62 to '64 doing some Shadows-style Surf. I played the track, Guitare Jet, on Episode 2 and if you wanna catch it on Youtube and send it to all yer friends then here ya go!



OH BY THE WAY, I'm making a special guest appearance "LIVE VIA SATELLITE" on REVOLUTION ROCK with my good friend Dave Konstantino, of The Hypnotics. If yer in the Windsor-Detroit area, you can catch Revolution SURF by tuning your radio to CJAM 99.1 FM at 10:30 EST! BIG DAVE is gonna play some Surf as well as I am gonna drop a few nuggets on ya! If you aren't in the Windsor-Detroit area, you can tune in online at www.CJAM.ca. CJAM is kind enough to offer downloads to every show so I will make sure to provide a link to Revolution Surf afterwards.

That's enough Surf for now! I'll catch ya on the flipside come next full moon!

LET IT BE KNOWN. THAT THIS WAS A GOOD SHOW! I enjoyed it and I hope that you all did too. We took a look at Eddie & The Showmen's rendition of Squad Car. Originally recorded by The Bel-Airs, Eddie Bertrand of The Bel-Airs formed Eddie & The Showmen, a more Dick Dale-esque, guitar oriented surf band. The Showmen's cover of Squad Car is the preferred basis for many modern surf bands that have recorded the song.

Here's the original Bel-Airs recording:
