My point was that instrumental, electric guitar music existed before it was called "surf music", from those artists I named and others, and that now, just about any instrumental, electric guitar music is called "surf music", whether or not it has anything to do with surfing or So. Cal.
I get your point, but there are exceptions. The Dixie Dregs / The Dregs were rarely, if ever, categorized as surf music. Pat Metheny neither. That Carlos whats-his-name? not surf. I know what you mean, but there are many exceptions to the rule.
'Surf' has a particular sound, but I couldn't describe it exactly.
The Sandblasters and Sir Finks - long-ago Austin surf bands - may have never even been to California, but their sound is definitely 'surf'.
The Sandblasters opened for Dick Dale once, at the old Steamboat on Sixth. Great night.

The reason it's called 'surf music'? First, because it was being played in garages all over SoCal (and other places). Second, because film makers were shooting surfers, and needed background music (instrumental). The film makers usually couldn't afford the rights to Eddy or Wray, but all they had to do was walk down a SoCal street and listen.
There were a ton of movies that were just guys surfing. 'Endless Summer' is the most famous of course, but there were many (of varying quality).
There are some great compilations, like 'Rare Surf' vols I & II. If you dig surf music they're worth a listen.

I think the term "surf music" did not exist until the early 1960s, and generally referred to music which literally was referring to surfing and the surfing culture. There was obviously instrumental guitar music before then from people like Duane Eddy, Link Wray, and Hank Marvin and The Shadows. Nowadays, it seems that any instrumental electric guitar music is referred to as "surf music".

This sounds to me a bit like the theme music for the 'Kids in the Hall' comedy show.
Or does surf music all sound the same?

Totally sounds like it could be from one of the wickedly warped Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet records! The groove really rocks!

As I understand it, prior to the Beatles and the British invasion in about 1964, Surf Music was the North American sound... having dominated from the late 50s or so.
Personally, I think it is great music - especially the instrumental stuff which can be very chill and pre-dates "ambient" be a few decades...
I have not heard of this band before though... must check them out! Thanks Bill and Rebecca!

If you're standing in your kitchen in the mountains of Michoacan at midnight making a sandwich and this comes on, you know you are living right.
One of my favorite radio shows ever was Phil Dirt's surf music show on KFJC out of Los Altos CA. If you ever spent a couple of hours with Phil, you'd change your mind about all surf music being the same.
Welcome to 1960's? Ventures, Link Wray, Duane Eddy ect.
I love surf music

Wow! Duane Eddy reincarnated. I wonder if The Big Wet Twang refers to towel-flicking in surfer dressing rooms? Thwacko!
A new surf band for me!
Great!!
Great!!
love surf music!
Perfect escape on this winter snowstormy morning! I gettin' right back on my hammock now that I've taken a picture.
I can feel my inner Austin Powers groovin'
NEV-er.....to hear......surf music.....a-GAIN.......
Can you dig it? Saw the Supersuckers last nite - a bit reminiscent of them and the Rev. Horton Heat. Hoop Hoop Hooray!
i'm tapping my toe......tap tap tap.....thanks for playing this one!

After a while all surf music sounds the same, but this is still pretty good.
Not a _huge_ fan of surf music, but this caught my ear right away. Boss!
Also like the album name and the band name (twitch!)
