The Ventures and The Atlantics - Great Surf Music from the US and Oz

With all the talk of Hawaii 5-0, a show I have never watched, I was interested in the similarities in style between American and Australian Surf Music. The Atlantics are still playing. I saw them at the Adelaide Guitar Festival a few years ago. It was a cool Election Night in 2007 and they played last after some very indifferent and average acts. They had the whole place rocking. Unbelievable drumming and guitar picking.

I think I prefer the Australian style.

The Atlantics - Bombora

Saw these guys at the Adelaide Guitar Festival on the day Kevin 07 became King of the Hill. Very distinctive Aussie sound.
