Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
A tuff and high energy cover of Jim Messina's "High Voltage," with lots of style. While it's pretty straight forward, this performance shows the band's live energy well. This recording was made at Martyr's on November 4, 2004.
Surf (Instrumental)
The tribal thunder of Randy Holden's "Mar Gaya" is dampened only by the delay on the drums. Otherwise, the performance rips, and the power of the song is quite evident.
Surf (Instrumental)
This demo may be somewhat murky, but is shows how well the song works with one guitar. Cool stuff.
