Much of the information for this site came from several articles by Australian
musicologist Stephen McPartland published in his California Music Magazine
(issues from 1988-1993). For more info on this great magazine, email Steve
at: cmusic@hotkey.net.au More info on Stephen's publications can be found at: www.garyusher,com/cmusic.html |
And big thanks to Ivan Pongracic. number one fan of the Shadows and the Atlantics, for his help with this site. Ivan is one hell of a guitarist, and his group, the Space Cossacks, have produced the best CD of music this decade, influenced greatly by the sounds of the Atlantics. Check out their web site at: http://mason.gmu.edu/~ipongrac/spacecossacks/ |
Also, thanks to the Cowabunga mail list. A great bunch of folks (Fenderthals and Mermenites all) and the source of much musical knowledge and inspiration. Check 'em out at www.yahoogroups.com |
For more information about surf/instro music, a good place to start is: www.zptduda.com/cowabunga/index.htm |
And, of course, the newly reformed Atlantics now have their own web site at www.theatlantics.com Check it out! |
