ABOUT THE BANDS

The Nebulas are a high octane, Boston-based surf & drag combo of the finest caliber featuring Mike Dominguez (lead guitar), Dan-O Ware (rhythm guitar), Eric Grammer (bass) and "Too-Fast" Jim Nichols (drums). Wearing anything on stage from standard issue black & white bowling shirts, to black flight suits, to impersonating the bridge crew of the original 1960s Star Trek series, and using exclusively vintage-sounding Fender and Mosrite equipment - The Nebulas have left an indelible impression on audiences on both coasts. Coming off the heels of a recent whirlwind tour of the west coast in support of its critically-acclaimed debut CD, "Nebula One" on Tivertone Records (from which the song "T-16" originates), The Nebulas plan to be actively writing material for a 2nd CD as this compilation goes to press. For the complete story of The Nebulas, as well as photos, merchandise and the like, check out https://www.tradebit.com. "Nebula One" is available directly from the band at https://www.tradebit.com or at Zptduda Music at https://www.tradebit.com.

The Bitch Boys - They started playing as a joke... and they really liked it! After just a month they recorded their first 19 tracks in a single day...Unfortunately except for some individuals like DJ Zlobec, DJ Jure Longyka and their friends nobody really believed they had some potential! Finally radio HIT (Stane Cencelj) offered help and released their album "...In Heat". Here''s Phil Dirt''s comment on their release: "Slovenia''s Bitch Boys write and arrange well crafted instrumentals based on surf music''s finer points. Fluid melodies, great production values, and original ideas, coupled with a real reverence for the genre''s roots, make for great listening. "In Heat" is a sort of CD you can''t take out of your player..." and Alan Taylor from Pipeline Magazine added: "I have no hesitation in naming this the best ever album from a modern surf band." Bitch Boys are: Marko Valant-Markan (drums), Tomaz Urgl-Murgl (bass), Damir Iglicar-Legenda (rhythm guitar), Robi Biloderic-Mirnic (lead guitar).

The Retroliners, comprised of Mike Beckerman (bass), Dave Schreck (drums), and Michael Welch (guitar), are a surf-style instrumental combo whose eclectic blend of vintage guitar tones and modern sonics produces a unique interpretation of dark, angular spy music spiked with pop, punk, twist and twang. In their rendition of "Dr. Yes", The Retroliners capture the essence of spy surf but do so with considerable post-punk authority, further blurring the boundaries between traditional surf and its contemporary rock offshoot. "Rumble in the Stratosphere 2002" is a remake of a popular song from The Retroliners'' "Raybans, Roadtrips, and Reverb" album. While the original benefits from dual guitars, the re-recording relies on one guitar, pushing the bass and drums to the forefront. Visit The Retroliners at: https://www.tradebit.com.
