Hi Spirit Spine ... Thanks for the ADD! ... Resistance is Futile Earthling!!!
After a long journey from out home planet in the distant Omega Centauri Galaxy, The Del Sonics have arrived on Planet Earth to embark on our "World Domination Imminent" tour! Commencing in Brisbane, Australia, the run of dates will continue until total global power is achieved. The latest and most potent weapon in ouir arsenal is the new album release “Destination...Planet Rock!”. Eight rolled-gold total psych-out cuts, recorded in May 2009, showcase the cream of this intergalactic instro/prog/surf outfit.
Don’t be fooled by the wiggy song names – “(No One Likes A) Smart Arsed Robot”, “Funky Chikisho”, and the epic acid-trip of “Speak Cyborg…Or DIE!” – these are killer rock and roll tracks delivered by a band that’s been a sensation on the live circuit the past year.
The engine-room rhythm section of The Big Kahuna (bass) and Krank Daddy (drums) powers like the Starship Enterprise on steroids. Out the front directing traffic on Fender Mustang (and with NASA-grade guitar pedal technology at his feet) is Twang, the one-man tsunami!
Sounds like… hmmmm...The Ramones and The Ventures hanging out at Frank Zappa's beach house with John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and The Monkees. Later, Ritchie Blackmore and The Ronettes will drop in for fondue and bikini Twister!
It's surf music, Jim, but not as we know it........
Muchos L&K The Big Kahuna, KrankDaddy and Twang The Del Sonics
+actually when writing that i had only listened to trickle down hence the PB comment, upon further listening you actually change your sound alot, awesome
hey dude good to hear from you i dig you're stuff too; sorry you probably hear this a lot but its really panda bear-esque (his new style or w/e anyways)
Hello from NY & a big, bloated, floating, & heart~felt thankYOU for the reQuest!
I have to say that i find your Spirit Spine description to be spot-on & perfect- in an aural, emotional, and (to my ears & mind in a certain inexplicable way) spiritual sense. The music is ethereal & truly lovely, & it's 1 of the nicest discoveries i've had/heard/felt/ in some time.
Do you guys think you might @ some point consider doing a show or two in the nYc area? I for one would love to be further mesmerized :)
Hey, bro. See you got some new tunage, or at least it's new to me. I applaud you many times over. Also, I heard you were in a magazine or something? Very stellar.
