Radio What Wave Playlist April 21/2016
We had The Thing From Outer Space, local surf combo as special guests as they were hosting London's First Ever Surf-A-Rama event! If you listen to the archived show, you can hear the guys have lots to talk about, which makes for a real easy interview!
1. The Sadies....The Side Track...from the Tales Of The Rat Fink CD. Not really a surf tune, but a great way to introduce a band that come from outer space.
2. Dick Dale...Miserlou....from the History Of Surf LP on Rhino Records and a great way to start the show with some of the more infamous surf tunes.
3. The Chantays....Pipeline.... as above.
4. The Belairs....Mr Moto.... as above.
5. The Surfaris....Wipe Out....from an original Dot Records 7" that i bought as a kid...in fact one of the very first singles purchased by me! That was back in the day when us kids believed all the music on the radio was made just for us! ie The Beatles, The Monkees, Royal Guardsmen, Napolean 14th etc.
6. The Thing From Outer Space....The Thing From Outer Space...from either a live or rehearsal recording.
7. The Thing From Outer Space...Apache....as above.
8. The Thing From Outer Space....Diamond Head....as above.
9. The Calrizians....Wandering Daughter Job....from a demo they sent us. Calrizians are also playing at the surf show on saturday night.
10. The Calrizians....Sleep On It....as above.
11. The Calrizians...Call Me Evil... as above.
12. The Calrizians.... Wasabi Blast... as above.
13. Agent Orange....Penetration....from What Surf Volume 2 on What Records.
14. The Ventures.... Out Of Limits....from their Greatest Hits LP on Liberty Records.
15. The Ventures...High And Dry....from the Guitar Freakout LP on Dolton Records. Probably the first LP I ever bought.....K-Mart, 99 cents in the cut out records, probably 1967/68. And this went out to Richard, host of Beyond The Beyond which follows Radio WW every week.
16. Urban Surf Kings... Twister...from the Live In Hell CD and recorded live in Halifax in 2006.
17. Said The Ripper....Flight Of The Vickers....demo from a band that features a former Fuzztone on lead fuzz!
18. The Thing From Outer Space....Walk Don't Run....from a live or rehearsal recording.
19. The Thing From Outer Space....FBI.... as above.
20. The Thing From Outer Space....Red River Rock... as above and we had to cut this one as time ran out, but certainly not surf tunes!
Huge Thanx to The Thing From Outer Space for taking time out of their busy schedules to talk surf on Radio What Wave! And the big show is on Saturday April 23rd at The Dawghouse here in London. Also on the bill are the Calrizians and The Surfrajettes, who don't have anything recorded yet.
And a big thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!! Back again next week with more noise to annoy!
