I Married a Juvenile Delinquent Zombie Freak from Outer Space with a Reefer Habit!
I have always been attracted to the B movie exploitation & the shock horror values of the 50s & all the styles & values that surround the surf guitar genre.
Quentin Tarentino has dressed it up so well in his movies, so it was inevitable that there would be a rising interest in this sound. I also found myself listening to Meiko Kaji the other day. So surf guitar music had become ‘cool’. Not to be left behind & a bit ‘ultracool’ myself, I have dipped one big toe into the water.
It is surprising how much there is out there. If like me you are a bit of a novice, you could start by checking out the ‘Eek the Cat’ & ‘Twilight Zone’ blogs.
