Awesome twanging!! Especially a track called 'Hava Nagila'

Never owned any Dick Dale, but do own a lot of Man or... Astroman? They do the old garagy surfy guitary stuff, also got a good album by a band called Huevos Rancheros which i haven't heard for years, might dig that out later.
Plus had the priviledge of seeing Link Wray a few years back. Never heard the Batman theme sound so good!

One of the best bands I've ever seen live! Honest!!

They played at Bristol Bierkeller a few years back and the highlight for me was the bass player who had a helmet was made out of a hollowed out computer monitor set fire to it and ran around the bierkeller with a flaming monitor on his head.

Fan-bloody-tastic.

Wish I had it on video!!

I used to have an old peel show on tape which featured them, that I used to play in the car a lot. It was ages ago, now - but I it was a great twangy instumental.

That was probably Coco the Electronic Monkey Wizard!

Saw them a few times too, the best being at the Princess Charlotte in Leicester - twangtastic! Also saw Heuvos Rancheros there - twangtastic too!

Got one Dick Dale album and it's superb. Twang..well, you get the idea..
