About Me |
|
The Aquamarines remain true to the sound of their 1960s and modern Surf Instrumental influences which include the Blue Hawaiians, Los Straitjackets, Laika & the Cosmonauts, the Ventures, Dick Dale, Link Wray, the Challengers, the Surfaris, the Chantays, and the Shadows. Breathtaking precision drum beats, cosmic bass lines, and 10-foot-tall reverberated shred & twang vibrato guitar, these are the trademarks of the Aquamarines sound.
the Aquamarines ARE...
Guitar, Special Ops 1st Lieutenant Rick Escobar Guitar, Logistics Gunnery Seargent "Big Wave" Dave Becker Bass, Artilliary P.F.C. Farhan "Mr. Chicken" Mohamed Keyboards, Percussion & Demolitions REVIEWS: "The performances are solid...a deliberate and fluid performance with a Link Wray sensibility, big vibrato chords, and surf-throb-correctness, the Aquamarines do a tasteful and straightforward cover...Very tastefully done, with a rich arrangement. "The Aquamarines SCHOOL OF REVERB CD nailed this old surf lover right to the board. The band's passion is palatable enough to reach across the decades. And done LIVE? My tattered rock critic's cap is off to you: surf music could have no better ambassadors, the Ventures no better envoys." "You guys rocked the house! You should have heard the crowd when you did some of the flashier bits, people were goin "yeah"! and nodding in approval! Nicely done! A new era for the The Aquamarines!" "...one of the best shows I've seen in years and I wish L.A. shows had this kind of energy and crowd reception!"
