Surf/Rock
Canada's Vegas Beach are the self proclaimed pioneers of the Surf Noir genre (a dark and twisted instrumental blend of surf, goth, rockabilly, old school rock'n'roll, New Orleans jazz and southern swamp blues, sprinkled with even a hint of country and a healthy dose of camp). Their 2005 CD is entitled Share The Sand, and features 12 rollicking instrumentals. Vegas Beach is the latest project from Ricky Las Vegas, cofounder of the Vampire Beach Babes. Formed from the ranks of now legendary New World Disorder, the boys from Vegas Beach are the self proclaimed pioneers of 'surf noir'. On their first album Dark Side of the Beach, recorded live in only a few hours, the boys continue to experiment with the quirky mix of the surf and gothic genres that defines the Beach Babes style. But Vegas Beach have brought a variety of other influences into the mix, creating soundscapes that slip effortlessly between the dark and the light. So pour yourself a glass of Lonesome Monkey, kick off your shoes and pull up a chair on Vegas Beach. Instrumental Guitar, total running time, 44:53

By: Phil Dirt
lovenia`s Bitch Boys write and arrange well crafted instrumentals based on surf music`s finer points. Fluid melodies, great production values, and original ideas, coupled with a real reverence for the genre`s roots, make for great listening. In Heat is a sort of CD you can`t take out of your player.
This may be one of the most consistent CD`s I`ve
heard in a long time. 20+ fine tracks, consistently
mixed and performed, with strong writing and rhythms.
This Slovenian band is bound to make their mark on the
surf instro world. Tracks like "Sale`s Melioration,"
"Surfin` Tide," "Theme From Otpisani," "Blejski
Venek," "Skaw Boy," and their liquid covers of
"Telstar" and "Paint It Black," are essential
listening. What`s more astonishing than their
consistently good recording and playing is their
superior writing and keen sense of arrangement.
There`s always something going, none of which is
filler. The music is rhythmic, dynamic, richly
arranged, and full of glorious surf reverb. Highly
recommended.
