Today we have Meshugga Beach Party..a great bunch of guys (and one gal on keys). When my last band broke up I considered going for an audition as they were looking for a guitarist..didn't have the duds. They get lots of gigs...!

Thanks for the video Roy! The surf footage brings back many memories. The Atlantice were the pride of te Australian surf music scene in the 60's and some of there tunes are still covered today.
