Sound of the Surf

Exciting, straightforward documentary on the regional SoCal instrumental surf music phenomenon of the early 1960s and how the music is still loved and played around the world. If you loved that music, you will love the film. Edited true to the driving beat of the music and the pure joy of twanging, reverberating Fender guitars and the absence of lyrics. Great to hear Dick Dale's stories, hear from members of Eddie and the Showmen, The Chantal's, The Surfaris, The Bel-Airs and to see Lloyd Thaxton after too many decades. And the truth behind Jimi Hendrix's pronouncement "...and you'll never hear surf music again." It's bitchin'.
