Confused people think The Safaris were responsible for Wipe-Out. Curious googlers might find that The Safaris were a doo-wop group. But somewhere I determined that these Safaris released some badass surf rock. By some, I mean not much. From what I've been able to gather, this 45 is...uh... all there is to gather.
But seriously, this is a serious 45. As you can tell from the picture, it deserves a better quality rip, but it's clear enough for you to understand that this is a really great 45
Kick Out
Lonely Surf Guitar is a slow number, which in surf rock I've always thought was harder to do well. Well, I played this side instead of the A side on my show last week, so there you go

The Original Surfaris wrote Bombora and Moment Of Truth.While the Surfaris wrote Wipe Out but you probably already knew that.
Did I mention that kick out is one of my favorite surf songs ever?
It's pretty hard to beat. I really wish I could dig up some more about them. I saw a Phil Dirt quote somewhere saying this was their only 45, but I'd at least like to know if their members were in something else
Of course, I guess not knowing much is why I post things so if there was more information my blog wouldn't exist. It's a paradox.
P.S. it's funny you say that because your last post mentioned my favorite surf song. It rhymes with Angora
can you repost 'lonely surf guitar'? i have 'kick out' on the 'wail on the beach' comp. thanks for your awesome posts!
you got it! They should work now. I've still got all these MP3s, but it looks like my old school server went dead. It's hard to spot-replace all of them but I don't mind putting them back up if they're gone.
I did attempt a re-rip of this just now but it seems like a lost cause. it's a pretty ugly 45
