Kinda funny, my parents had the Tijuana Brass record when I was a kid. I also remember loving the album cover. I have not seen it in about 30 years, but it’s one of those ones I never forgot. PS you girls are great! I love your music.
The album was re-released a few years ago, which I got on CD. All the songs were enhanced (re-mastered?), plus a few other songs were added. I can't remember if these songs were unreleased originally or not. You might want to check it out since it's been awhile. Oh, and I, too, discovered Tijuana Brass in my dad's record collection.
I have both of your 45's and love them both!!! I met you girls when you played in socal and you all signed my record! One of my prized possessions. Thanks and another great video.👍👍
Given your connection to the GTA, you're probably familiar with this one: "Savvy Showstoppers" by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. That's a fun mix of surfy, spy jazzy and Spaghetti Western type sounds, with a big dash of the band's wry humour thrown in. That album also contains the anthemic track, "Having an Average Weekend," which became the theme song for "The Kids in the Hall" tv show. On another note, I was a school kid in the 1960's who loved Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. My parents used to let me stay up to watch their TV specials, which always seemed to be sponsored by Singer sewing machines.
Not to burst anyone's balloon, but the "Hard Day's Night" record is worthless with all the comments written on it. However, the value to Nicole having that album with all the comments by her dad or uncle is priceless, to her. 👍
The only thing I asked my dad to leave me in his will was his record collection. We didn’t see eye to eye on much, but we both loved music. He would have dug you guys.
The Music Machine's "Talk Talk" was the big hit from that LP, but "The People In Me" was the next 45 issued from it and is a hidden gem. I believe the Music Machine was more of a garage band than a psych band.
My mother was absolutely obsessed with the Tijuana Brass!! Cool cool pick I'm a huge Mark Knopfler fan and also Brian Setzer they're almost as good as you are... Nowhere near as cute. Thanks for some more happiness you guys are the best❤
Kinks, 20th Century Man, on the Muswell Hillbillies album. Also Creedence Clearwater Revival: Born on the Bayou. Tom Petty: Running Down a Dream. None are surf music, but still good. My favorite Surfrajettes versions of rock/ psychedelic songs are I Had too Much to Dream, Paint it Black and SuffrageCity.
Thanks for the great surf grooves and your vinyl picks. Some other great vinyl picks should include Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66' catalog, , especially Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66', and all Astrud Gilberto/Jobim tracks.
I like the "Girls with Guitars" and "Girls in the Garage" comps. Those ladies paved the way for females to play rock n roll and should be recognized for their contributions. I love 60's music. Especially the garage stuff.
Are you Experienced Jimi Hendrix, Dark side of the Moon Pink Floyd, Physical Graffiti Led Zeppelin are some of my favorites. My mom had that Herb Albert album when I was about 8 and my older sister turned me on to Zeppelin, Hendrix, Floyd, the Beatles and the Doors. She had all the Beatles on vinyl and Zeppelin 2 , Hendrix Are you Experienced. When I heard Jimmy Page on Zeppelin 2 , I was blown away and went and bought Zeppelin 4 . That and Hendrix got me started playing guitar! Love your sound, you sound awesome. Hope to see you live someday!🎸🎸😁👍🎼🎶🎵
2:05 Ahhh, the famous Herb Alpert Whipped Cream album cover. I met the model, live and in person. Google this: " The model, Dolores Erickson Huffines, now of Kelso, calls the cover “the little ghost that follows me” but has grown to enjoy the attention "
Thanks for sharing. I am going to check out The Music Machine right now. Have either of your gone down the Sparks rabbit hole? A Woofer In Tweeters Clothing is a brilliant album from the early 70's. Of course they have spanned the decades and are still making albums but I really dig their early stuff. Take care.
Pink Floyd -- Dark Side of the Moon -- the song Money. Listen to it LOUD in the dark -- you can hear all of the coins jangling. You girls should record Tellstar, These Boot Are Made for Walking, and some Jan and Dean.
When I was a kid we referred to Led Zep 4 as the “Ruins” album. I still don’t know why. In the 60s, my aunt was Herb Alpert’s and Jerry Moss’s exec secretary at A&M and she had an assistant give me a tour of the studios when I was like 9 or 10 yo.
Led Zep was one of the first bands that had a big influence on me, indeed! So, my fave album (non Led Zep) of mine is " Gretchen Goes to Nebraska" by the trio band "King's X!"
extremely pleasant video. sorely needed wholesomeness in the current debacle. i have the music machine & herb alpert but unaware of the astronauts as yet! 🎸 🇨🇦 👍
RCA signed Boulder, Colorado's Astronauts to compete with the Beach Boys on Capitol records. Their1963 debut mixes surf instrumentals with Beach-Boys-sounding vocal tracks and is probably their best release. They followed with a hot rod-themed LP called "Competition Coupe", further driving home the Beach Boys comparisons, then gradually tended towards LP's filled mostly with fairly mediocre sounding vocal covers of rock standards. Their RCA studio sound with a heavily-reverbed three guitar attack is pretty stellar on their biggest hit, "Baja", which the Surfragettes cover live and which you can hear here: . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IwFH3HcBn7w.html
Don’t know if you ladies ever heard of The Danny Morris Band. I think they were originally from the Delaware area, and now they play down in Florida. Great mix of surf guitar and blues. I got to meet him once, very nice guy, asked him to play Walk Don’t Run and he did!
Wow, cool to know, because a few months ago I noticed that Lani Hall sang the theme song for Sean Connery's last movie as James Bond, "Never Say Never Again" (in 1983).
Rich Fifield, of the Astronauts, used to fill in in my band in the 80s. He lives in a suburb of north Denver now. When I would ask him to front a tune, he would always call "If you see Kay." He always said that they considered themselves to be R&B, and did the Surf thing at the request of an A&R man from a record company who thought they needed an answer to The Beach Boys. Rich gigged in many bands around Denver after the Astronauts, but has been pretty quiet the last 10 years or so. Last I knew, he was gigging Jazz guitar and vocal duets at fraternal organizations with his girlfriend.
So glad I found your band. Love your music. I think you might like the Mermen. The group’s sound was originally rooted in instrumental surf and psychedelic music of the 1960s from SAn Francisco. They are worth checking out. Cheers, Matt
My favorite record is probably Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys. Are you into Heart at all? I don't have any of their vinyl but I'm a big fan. They were heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin. The Wilson sisters are still rocking today.
Shermy, I love the Music Machine. I remember their album came out the year the Batman TV show started. There was a club near where I live called Wayne Manor that had a Batman theme. The Music Machine played there all Halloween week. I didn't go since I was only 7. That year was a magical time in my life. The Batman show. Color TV was a new thing. Nice memories.
Hi Girls have you ever done a cover of the Beatles song cry for a shadow, would be great to hear you all playing it? P.S The Shadows version of apache was the first lead guitar instrumental that I ever learned myself to play when I started playing guitar, I recorded myself doing the Bruce Welch rhythm guitar on my big tape player and played along :)
I'm a big fan of Cry For A Shadow. The Surfrajettes play a couple of tunes that remind me of it that you might like to track down. One is Linda's Tune. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hY64Nxa9i9A.html and the other is their original Magic Pineapple that you'll have to go back to their earliest days in instagram to hear.
You should add "Tube City: The Best of the Trashmen" to your collection. Not sure if it's available on vinyl, though. About Herb Alpert's Whipped Cream album; no 14 year old boy should be left alone with that cover. Hardest rocking song ever? "7 and 7 Is" by Love
You girls are great, your look, your style and tastes. and also, I totally agree with David Shawn's comment below, no tatoos , please don't do it, your look right now is GREAT!
Love your music thanks for playing it, hope one day you’ll come to the Isle of Wight England 🏴 we have a festival every year 90,000 plus you’d bring the house down ........I’ll look out for ya .......stay safe
During the '80's I used to ride my bicycle to garage sales to find records. That's where I found the Music Machine. Also love the 13th.Floor Elevators.
The Elevators were from my hometime(Austin, Tex) and I was fortunate to see them twice in concerts around Texas. Great Band, and you may not know that they were very popular in San Francisco during the Haight Ashbury psychedelic scene. They played several times at the Filmore.
@@jmn93065 Wish I could have seen them ...but being born in '69 I was late to the party. I'm from Texas too, Lake Jackson....where one of our biggest claims to fame is Buc'ee's!
@@rvtek7303 Not sure what a Buc'cee's is. Is that a band? Roki Erickson went to Travis High School across town from me. The Elevators played a gig in Austin and one in New Brausfels, and that is where I saw them, probably around 1966. The Elevators were one of the first bands into the psychedelic music that was big back then.
I love the first album, that was given to me, of The Ventures. It was "The Guitar Genius of The Ventures". I still think that album had some of the most amazing music. Music that I still enjoy hearing.
I saw SRV twice,once with Jeff Beck,and love Hendrix work as well. If these ladies,were to make a completely comprehensive video, I think it could go on for hours. I play guitar and bass,and can't think of any musician,in my circles who don't like the aforementioned. I fear you missed the point
@@389383 There's a picture of him on the back, but it's a line drawing that makes him look Hawaiian, and it's basically the same album as "Hideaway." Definitely a crossover attempt by King Records.
“ I know I will get some flack for saying this but please resist the temptation to get tatttoos. What makes you and your group stand out is you represent a different era ! “
Truer words were never spoken! What makes women think guys find tattoos attractive? The problem is that at a young age we can't imagine ever being fifty years old, with thirty year old tattoos (which never age well). Our society is doing young women a disservice when we act like tattoos on them are cool. Let's all speak the truth about this very sad phenomenon. Permanent is a very long time!
@@MDavidG1 yeah, I think a lot of women don't realize that nearly any good man with a lot of living well skills and mental acuity will see a woman's tattoo and think "oh, she's screwed up". Then , years later such women wonder why they can't find a husband who isn't a back stabber.
My first impression seeing female or male tatoos is an immature, not fully developed person with attitudes and issues. There's no room for contrived drama in my life. Many people finally grow up, some don't. These are just generalizations.... just stating my view. Thanks and keep playing!!!
I'm pretty sure my Dad had that Herb Alpert album along with many others. I may be a rock n' roll lover, (along with surf) but I grew up with the Tijuana Brass and thanks to my Dad, have an appreciation for them and older big band.
Nice choice on JD McPherson. I got him to sign a few things including my Epiphone acoustic. Love his music but he was hard to get a signature from. Everyone in his band was awesome and Jimmy Sutton is a really cool cat.😎👍✨
Hey ladies, Been diggin’ The Beach Boys for a bit and I know that the two of you don’t respond to comments but, I’m going to take a wild guess and say that every band that you enjoy has probably been influenced by Brian Wilson in some way. What do the two of you think?
If you haven't already would be cool to see you cover The Pyramids. Also that particular Tijuana Brass record is in literally EVERY thrift store I visit .....that is surely a testament to how many copies they deservedly sold.
I just picked up The Music Machine today amazing album wow what a great album thank you so much for showing me this album hopefully I can find there second and last album 🙂
WOW! 11 minutes later and 387 views already!! I'm glad that you GIRLS are keeping the dream alive! It's great to see surf music is still alive and now making a slow resurgence among the younger crowd. Thank you for sharing your wonderful musical gifts with the rest of the world.
Here are some excellent albums I think you might dig; The Cramps "Songs the Lord Taught Us" , Davie Allan and the Arrows "Devil's Rumble Anthology 64-68'", (it's a double album), B-52's "Wild Planet"
It is fun being in the clubhouse with you guys. Somehow I had a Ventures album growing up which got me interested in the instrumental guitar sound. It had a green cover and I know it had Classical Gas, House of the Rising Sun, and Hawai’i Five-0 on it - I think it was a greatest hits of some sort.
Nicole's albums are very much parallel to my influences and I grew up with access to my dad's vinyl, 60s and 70s mostly. Thank you ladies for what you do!! You need to find your way to California!
Hi Surfrajettes! Being Canadian and all, ever consider covering the 1962 Quebec surf band The Jaguars? Guitar Jet is the tune I'm thinking of. It's on RU-vid. Cheers.
Very cool. I had a friend who played the Herb Alpert album over and over when ever I was at his house, it was great. Hard Days Night......next to Abbey Road, one of my all time faves. I learned to play every song on Zep 4, accept Going to California and Battle of Evermore. The riff to Black Dog was one of the first riffs I ever learned, way back in 1982 and still use it as a warm up. Have a cigar box guitar that's perfect for When the Levy Breaks. Tuned to open G. Your version of Banzai Pipeline is the best version out there. You really payed attention to detail on that one with the finger snaps and percussion. Song sounds so cool, and I really love how you extend the last solo break adding that cool lick just before the final solo. I listen to that almost daily.
lol, I was expecting you to show albums by Dick Dale, Jerry Cole, The Sentinals, The Super Stocks, The Marketts, etc. I have all the albums that you showed. Great albums. BTW, about 12 years ago I spent about 18 months hunting down original pressing of every surf album I could find. That was a very expensive endeavor since some of the records were rare and very expensive.
