Shrunken Head Lounge Surf Radio Show Running Time: 29 minutes 30 seconds Fred Lincoln "Link" Wray Jr (May 2, 1929 – November 5, 2005) Link Wray was noted for pioneering a new sound for electric guitars, as exemplified in his hit 1958 instrumental "Rumble", by Link Wray and his Ray Men, which pioneered an overdriven, distorted electric guitar sound. He also "invented the power chord! The menacing sound of "Rumble" led to a ban on several radio stations, a rare feat for a song with no lyrics, on the grounds that it glorified juvenile delinquency. Nevertheless it became a huge hit, not only in the United States, but also Great Britain, where it has been cited as an influence on The Kinks, The Who, and Jimmy Page among other.   Pete Townsend states: "He is the king; if it hadn't been for Link Wray and 'Rumble,' I would have never picked up a guitar." In 2003, Link Wray was ranked at number sixty-seven in Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100  Greatest Guitarists of all time. "Rumble", "Jack the Ripper"

He ran in to Freddie who worked at a local bait and tackle shop. The two hit it off and decided to form their own band. After seeing Fredo and Philip performing as the duo ‘Rude Dude’, Frankie coaxed them to join what would eventually become the Farfisas. Everyone took the surname ‘Farfisas’ as a tip of the hat to The Ramones. Without any record company support, the band booked all their own shows along the south shore. They quickly grew a following of hair stylists and several used car dealers who were in between jobs. Their debut CD ‘Surf, Far – Surf Good’ is available on iTunes and other popular non brick and mo

Shrunken Head Lounge Surf Radio Show Running Time: 29 minutes 30 seconds The Razorblades from Germany It’s the year 2002…Surfmusic is not exactly the fashion of the day. Some nostalgic guys in Hawaiian shirts still play it, but most people think it’s this weirdo thing that was invented by the Beach Boys or Quentin Tarantino.Besides that, they couldn’t care less…It’s the new millennium, times are rough and they have to listen to this ultra-cool loungey electro groove track immediately…. Some young guys think that’s not OK at all. Faraway from the sun, the ocean and the beach, in Wiesbaden/Germany, they decide to add their own chapter to the book that was written by Dick Dale and his fellows. By putting twangy guitars, punk power and melodies as big in the ocean in the shaker, they create a musical cocktail that makes you move your feet in double speed and dance like a madman. Six months later their first album is in the can and THE RAZORBLADES start touring. Fast forward to 2011… THE RAZORBLADES are one of Eur

Shrunken Head Lounge Surf Radio Show Running Time: 29 minutes 30 seconds Beach Boys Special Part 2 Surfin USA, Fun Fun Fun, Little Deuce Coupe - that's just one side of the Beach Boys. But what about the introspective and experimental side which they display on their later works? This show will feature songs showing the bands maturation in the late '60s as Americas best and most versitile recording acts. The Beach Boys started out as a family - three brothers, Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson and their cousin Mike Love. The addition of Brians school friend Al Jardine filled out the picture. The hallmark of these recordings are the groups vocal harmonies, a new approach to arrangements and Brian's incorporation of the Wall Of Sound, originally created by Phil Spector and refined in a way that only Brian could. "Pet Sounds" is the pinnicle in this sound, considerred the greatest album ever recorded (and inspiring The Beatles Paul McCartney to create Sgt. Pepper) . To bring his ideas to life, Brian hired top studi

Shrunken Head Lounge Surf Radio Show Running Time: 29 minutes 30 seconds Beach Boys Special Part 1 For more than 40 years the Beach Boys have been the embodiment of the all-american rock band, promoting surfing, cars and girls -and especially California. The 3 Wilson Brothers, Brian, Dennis and Carl - along with their cousin Mike Love, grew up in Southern California singing together at family gatherings. Brian added his school buddy Al Jardine and the band was complete. In the fall of 1961 they recorded their first single "Surfin'" which hit #2 locally and #75 nationally. In the spring of 1962 The Beach Boys were signed to Capitol Records on the strength of a demo tape recorded by their father, Murry. That tape contained the two singles to follow, Surfin Safari and 409. Surfin Safari hit the top 20. They followed up with the great tunes Surfin USA and Surfer Girl. At this point there was no stopping the great sound that the Beach Boys were creating. Many hits were to follow: Little Deuce Coupe, Catch a Wave
