[@Claytone-Records]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MASTERFUL ALL THE WAY ROUND NOTHING LOST

[@brwhyon]

How can you not grin ear to ear while listening to this? WOW ! Great stuff guys!

[@AOXOMOXO]

The Mermen. The only band I really want to see. Too bad they don't tour the east coast. Everything I've ever loved about the electric guitar Jim Thomas does...and then some.

[@Ariovistus50]

You make the world a better place. Epic guitar riffs.

[@nazaxprime]

wow, that crowd is freaking awesome. This band... that location... IDK, I'v seen alot of crowds, and that one looked the MOST LEGIT EVER. Seriously, no sellout fanbois, just people. REAL people. COOL.

[@md20gm]

These guys rock. They were hugely influential on my early music "career."

[@kurtflint64]

Wow. It has been a lot of years since I was in that record store!

[@Thephilmor]

they just tore down the McDonalds on the corner a few months ago!

[@juliomaguilera]

Awesome, greetings from Chile!

[@realboltfan]

So underrated

[@rufusdtonebug4049]

Totally agree! I've just done a cover of 'Scalp Salad' on my channel :)

[@Thephilmor]

@@rufusdtonebug4049 Post the link!

[@Claytone-Records]

Rufus D Tonebug, Let’s see it, please.

[@steveculbert4039]

The lead player is really solid. I love this group.

[@tlajr007]

Amazing!!! This sounds just like the first recording I heard on Songs of the Cows, but even better without being any worse. Love The Mermen!

[@Thephilmor]

Thanks

[@TheWindyCity]

Stumbled here upon a friends link.....man these guys are really awesome! I'm a big Dick Dale fan and can't believe I haven't heard of you guys sooner. Hope you can make it to Chicago someday.

[@Sterling79]

Good song! Hello from Poland!!!

[@Thephilmor]

Hi!

[@urpgag2]

Iowa loves the Mermen.

[@Claytone-Records]

Texas, too.

[@carlospalmeira6117]

Wow... wow wow wow.

[@cmintsurfer]

I close my eyes and between 2:00 and 4:00 I imagine diving head first into a wave and popping out the backside only to repeat it over and over and never tiring of the sensation.

[@m0torbike]

This man is a genius!!

[@tompaperkite]

Your Mix could easily be MY mix. Same tastes and a fanatic about the Mermen since the very early days with Allen.

[@charleshobson6575]

Jim needs more red-knob Fender amps.

[@jeffreydowell8970]

I saw these guys at the paradise

[@kellyduffey9066]

love the Merman and how Marlon Brando can play a mean guitar.

[@nazaxprime]

A little NW Emerald for the gentleman up front! Thank GOD I have some herb right now. :P I'm gunna miss this l8r.

[@Thephilmor]

Ha!

[@TheMyndsurfer]

Still awesome!! 'Krill Slippin'" and 'Live At The Haunted House', 2 of the greatest surf/psychodelic albums ever made!

[@c0p0v0i0g]

Colonel Kurtz, Ron Jeremy, and Viserys make a music video

[@Thephilmor]

Too Funny! Sounds like the first line of an epic joke!

[@eugenekistanov9901]

круто!)

[@steveculbert4039]

You're nothin' but Surf Punks!!!!

[@fmg182]

"Peter Capussotto y sus videos" brought me here

[@nazaxprime]

@AOXOMOXO Start a petition? I guarantee NYC could pay-pal together enough to get them to play at your house. Just Say'n, life is pretty sweet, all you have to do is choose to live it, and you should find your mistakes to be far greater achievements than the alternatives success. /shrug

[@treloskitharistas]

Very very nice! But too many pedals I think... I don't want to seem cocky, but I play surf with a 8-9 year old Line6 30W Spider amp and a Danelectro Fab Echo pedal and its almost perfect (cause the amp has great but digital reverb)

[@Thephilmor]

All Knobs at 11

[@Claytone-Records]

I didn’t know that Marlon Brando had a band.

[@Thephilmor]

LOL! Back in the nineties I thought he looked more like Mel Gibson!

[@Claytone-Records]

Thephilmor, Oh ho, you are right. Remember when Jim still had hair? I saw these guys a few times back when they used to come to Texas. I recorded a couple shows to minidisc. Wait a sec, did you record this? Did you have a line from the SB to your camera? The sound rips, man.

[@Thephilmor]

@@Claytone-Records Mini Disc! 74 minute max as I recall. I went with the Sony DAT but that finally died.. Now using a Zoom 4 channel

[@Claytone-Records]

Thephilmor, Right on, man. I actually would drag around a Mackie 1402 VLZ as it fit into a laptop bag. I had a couple mics and would also run a line from the house SB and rec to a portable Sony md. I was just learning as I went so most of my recordings turned out crappy but once in awhile good things happened. Yes, 74 minutes in stereo and twice that in mono. I have uploaded a video on KZbin @ClaytoneRecords of a Texas psych band called Seven Percent Solution if you’d care for a sample. P. S. Was this recording done with the Zoom? Also, I ordered this lp In god we Trust from the band when it came out. The Jesus & Shitler cover is hilarious and one of my favorites.

[@Thephilmor]

@@Claytone-Records Actually had two mics on stage and mixed it on computer

[@zachsasmr4423]

Martyn should always have a mustache

[@Claytone-Records]

Zachs ASMR, right.

[@Thephilmor]

LOL! You'll have to convince Jenny!

[@nazaxprime]

@nazaxprime 4:20

[@bohs1984]

I really like the original studio recording of this song and wanted to hear all that energy in a live performance. But it seems like they try to reinvent the song every time they play it with dubious success. Just once I would like to hear this song with all the energy of a live performance but with the original arrangement.

[@thisnameiseitherrestricted6270]

Goddamn sync!!!!

[@Thephilmor]

Right?

[@seankenney104]

Dig it.... True "Dick Dale" fashion.... surfs up bros..... jam on

[@Cabofishstory]

bass player needs to play chords......solo chords. Where did she go?
