The Surfaris • Fun City USA & Play

Biography by Richie Unterberger

Glendora, California surf group the Surfaris are remembered for "Wipe Out," the number two 1963 hit that ranks as one of the great rock instrumentals, featuring a classic up-and-down guitar riff and a classic solo drum roll break, both of which were emulated by millions (the number is no exaggeration) of beginning rock & rollers. The band recorded an astonishing number of albums (about half a dozen) and singles in the mid-'60s; the "Wipe Out" follow-up, "Point Panic," was the only one to struggle up to the middle of the charts. More talented than the typical one-shot surf group, the Surfaris' drummer Ron Wilson was praised by session stickman extraordinaire Hal Blaine, and his uninhibited splashing style sounds like a direct ancestor to Keith Moon. He also took the lead vocals on the group's occasional Beach Boys imitations.

Biografía de Richie Unterberger

El grupo de surf de Glendora, California, los Surfaris son recordados por "Wipe Out", el éxito número dos de 1963 que se clasifica como uno de los grandes instrumentales de rock, con un riff de guitarra clásico que sube y baja y un solo de batería de break, ambos emulados por millones (el número no es una exageración) de rock & rollers principiantes. La banda grabó un número asombroso de álbumes (alrededor de media docena) y singles a mediados de los 60; el siguiente "Wipe Out", "Point Panic", fue el único que llegó a la mitad de las listas de éxitos. Más talentoso que el típico grupo de surf de un solo golpe, el baterista de los Surfaris Ron Wilson fue elogiado por el extraordinario stickman de sesión Hal Blaine, y su desinhibido estilo splashing suena como un ancestro directo de Keith Moon. También tomó la voz principal en las imitaciones ocasionales de los Beach Boys del grupo.
