Christmas With the Supraphonics, the Supraphonics (Max Recordings)

supraphonics.jpgInstrumental surf bands may not be easily found in the music charts, but since the 80s they've hung on as a cult attraction, and every once in a while you'll go see an act you like and a surf band you never heard of will be the opening act. It's great stuff and though it's simple, it has to be played well or it just doesn't work. These guys are right in the tradition, but they're not afraid to step outside the genre and throw in modern guitar effects that didn't exist in the early 60s when this style started. If you have a taste for this style, you probably already know about this; if you don't, you might want to consider blending into your mix their versions of "Silver Bells," "Little Saint Nick," "Blue Christmas," "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear," "Holly Jolly Christmas," "O Come All Ye Faithful," "I'll Be Home For Christmas," "Christmas Time Is Here," "Jingle Jingle Jingle," "Little Drummer Boy" and "Winter Wonderland." They also throw in a nod to the movie "Elf" with "Santa! I Know Him!"
