Triumphs - Surfside Date (1964)

Here we go. Milwaukee surf punk from the mid 60s. Not a lot of oceans around those parts. I suppose you could hang out on Lake Michigan. It doesn't really seem like the surfing is what our vocalist is looking for here. "After the usual razamataz, I'll take you home and all of that jazz..."

I used to have the Norton re-release on 45 back when I had stuff. Totally bonkers energy all around including two full blast sax solos. And it clocks in at under two minutes.

Pairs nicely with The Trashmen's Surfin Bird (from Minneapolis, also 1964) if you want to have an Upper Midwest surf party.
