The Surfrajettes at The Regent Theatre

[@rogerwebb2058]

Over the years I’ve heard a lot of bands TRY and get that surf sound right. Not very many manage to pull it off. The Surfrajettes nail it EVERY TIME. That Jaguar, working with the Stratocaster, backed up by the low growl of the Danelectro bass makes it all bona-fide. I can’t decide which drummer I like best. Their styles of attack are different but both are equally up to the task at hand. ROCK ON PEOPLE!!!

[@Framusic]

I just spent 55 minutes and 13 seconds playing along especially rhythm... Finally got my dusty crappy Vester Stratocaster out of it's corner, connected it and simply jammed along with these girls... Sometimes hard to do because of the huge amounts of reverb but I almost gave up on playing electric guitar, I thought it was dead. But mixing/playing along with this stuff showed me that it's still alive and I still Love to play electric guitar. Once it's on my priority list for sure I'll buy a real Fender Strat. or..... a Jaguar maybe??

[@russnurse2b807]

Good for you😊. It's only dead if you let it be.

[@joshwinkelstein407]

@@russnurse2b807 I am a little late but the Jazzmaster is a hugely popular surf guitar. With an external Fender tube reverb into a Dual Showman and you will have a perfectly acceptable surf sound. Jaguars will do it if your hands can handle the short scale. Stratocasters are not unknown and of course the Ventures went through some Mosrite years. I personally like my Chicago Music Exchange Jazzmaster, it's Mexican but comes with the LOCKING trem which a lot of budget Jazzmasters do not. I also have an Eastman "Star Crunch" signature Mosrite copy. Star Crunch is the lead for Man or Astro-Man, the most energetic of recent surf bands IMHO. As for the Surfrajettes, I can't wait for my birthday on 7.7.2022 when I am taking myself to a Surfrajetts show in Grand Rapids MI.

[@aljustal6554]

Song notes: Their version of "Surf Rider" has about half of "Mr. Moto" by the Belairs mixed in. "Banzai Pipeline" is the best surf instrumental that Henry Mancini ever wrote. I always though the descending notes portion of the main riffs in "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and "Sunshine Of Your Love" were similar, so bravo for this band to figure out a way to link those two up seamlessly.

[@chrisst8922]

There's also Paint It Black/Pipeline and Stairway To Heaven/Walk Don't Run.

[@rogerrendzak8055]

At first, that confused the CRAP, outta me!! Then I realized, it was two different songs. The vida, and love.

[@thedave2429]

Their version of Banzai Pipeline is a master class in cool. Nicole lays down some killer licks with precision and clarity, while Shermy plays a menacing rhythm part. Sarah lays down a slick bass line. Check out Tom Conlon's KZbin to get a excellent look at it in detail. Even though he also attributes it to the Astronauts, it's the Surfrajettes version all the way.

@@Mister_Pedantic wow! I'm amazed! No, your experience is certainly not typical. In Hungarianfamilies with traditional values it's quite common to have the first born son named after his father while the first born daughter gets her mother's or grandmother's name. Jolan is Yolanda in English, but it comes from ancient Greek meaning blossom of violet. In my opinion good girl meaning is most likely a word play. Jolan : "jo lany " which literally translates to good girl. I quickly looked up the stats. Jolan is currently the 61st most common feminine name. Best wishes 😊
