No Go
Short, rocking song I wrote about an idiot who's in over his head. It's built around a guitar part that was stuck in my head and a surf drum beat. [more inside]
Kraid's Green Hill
Dame Kraft (Lady Force)
An incendiary surf punk instrumental written to accompany the everyday fight trans women endure. [more inside]
Someone Keeps Moving My chair
Mr. Horrible, Mr. Horrible. [more inside]
Slow see

The Silent Bugler
Punky instrumental surf rock in the vein of Man or Astro-Man? (with stylophone!) [more inside]

For the request raffle, a cover of The Rolling Stones' Paint it Black in the surf rock guitar style of Dick Dale. [more inside]
Surf And Destroy
Some beach music off the new album from my punk band Riot Dog. Oi! Oi! Oi!

A surf-reggae snippet misremembering Augustus Pablo. [more inside]
Psycho Annie
the girl with blood in her eyes: if you don't flee tonight, you'll all surely die [more inside]
Shakedown
Surf punk that somehow turns into old school metal. Featuring one of the best female vocalists in Olympia Washington. [more inside]
Shchedryk
A quick surf-punk blast thru the Ukrainian folk song which was neutered into Carol of the Bells. For the challenge, obviously! [more inside]
Tarifa Madness
Another bite sized morsel of crispy guitar-driven instro-surf for you. [more inside]
Balkan Red Alert Part II
Just sneaking this one under the wire for the Hallowe'en challenge. A thrown-together palate cleanser from the recent power pop -- a piece of Eastern European-flavored surf about the scariest thing I can think of. I actually gave myself the shivers when I was putting together the ending so it's probably worth sticking around for that. [more inside]
Pink Saturday
The horns in this bouncy lo-fi surf-garage number? Synthesized. But the off-key backup vocals? They're real.
Mutations
My band MYELIN SHEATHS has a LP coming out, and this is the first song on the record! ROCK! [more inside]
Message in the Sand
This is a little instrumental number I made up. I'm trying to convince my bandmates to perform it. The guitar tone and the melodic simplicity may qualify it as Surf Music. [more inside]
Ride the Wild Moleman
When there's no surf around, you ride what you can. [more inside]
Minutes To Live, Seconds To Die
Another surf-y thing from my old band, the Brimstones. [more inside]
Five Fathoms Down
Melodic, slightly exotic, wistful surf music from Hell. [more inside]
At The Mountains Of Madness
A short surf instrumental.
One of the bands I'm currently in, The Filthy Thirds, has started a side project/alter ego group called The Boogeymen. It is a horror/surf project where we mash up classic horror movie persona's with early 60's surf. We wrote all our own surf songs, our only cover being a "Wipeout" style version of John Carpenter's "Halloween" theme. Our debut show is in a couple of weeks and we will play in costume. My character is Mummy Holly.
This song gets its title from an H.P. Lovecraft book,and was recorded with a hanging mic in the basement, yet is surprisingly clear. Some lead guitar was overdubbed.
While the Gittin' is Good
Surfy-punky song inspired by a friend's recent decision to quit his job and travel for a while. Recorded in GarageBand, drums provided by a drummer friend who tapped them out on his keyboard for me because none of the drum loops sounded right. My first complete project in GarageBand.
West of Eden
A backing riff that had been hanging around, nagging at my brain, for several years. Could never find a melody for it, until today, when I found a whole shitload. Twangy instrumental surf, Jazzmaster nirvana. If only bass guitars had whammy bars I'd be in heaven. From my great unreleased album "Cesare Gorgeous and the Strange Attractors play songs of Love and Hate".
Man or Astroaletz
Someone asked for more rockabilly. This is a song written by some friends, Los Esquizitos, performed and recorded here by us, with a drum track laid by their drummer.
Signal 30
The first song I ever wrote on guitar, re-recorded by my old band the New Blind Nationals
Mark Foo's Last Ride
Mark Foo rewrote the rules of big-wave surfing and turned it into a high-stakes, high-profile thrill show. So when the biggest, baddest new surf break -- Mavericks -- started to churn out 40-foot waves in December 1994, it was inevitable that he'd be there. This tune celebrates his last ride.
Previous tunes here and here.
Balkan Red Alert, Part I
Balkan-tinged surf-rock ode to Gavril Princip from Cesare Gorgeous & The Strange Attractors. That's me (Cesare) on, um, everything. Previously in the same ilk: A Theory of Everything. More to come.
The Cool Road to Hell
This was my band in college, a surf-instrumental-spy-rock four-piece: bass, drums, guitar, and violin. I'm playing bass in this song.
A Theory of Everything
Twangsome surf-rock from The Strange Attractors, recorded when I should have been writing screenplays. That's me kicking the reverb tank at the beginning.
