They have two albums out, Locals Only and My Beach, plus several singles. Also, much Surf Punks regalia can be purchased by mail order (as can their albums) from Dayglo Records, P.O. Box 374, Malibu, CA 90265 (it is possible that this address is outdated, so don't send cash or drugs). One of the all time great bands to see live, they tend to do about 2 gigs a year, and rarely leave southern California. I have heard that they occaisonally play under the name of the Jillionaires when Dennis Dragon doesn't want to get out of the water. Also, Scott Godard has an EP out (Your Fool) which has a fine tribute to those pillars of the auto supply industry, the Pep Boys. All of us who live within walking distance of the beach in southern California have come to respect the Surf Punks as tireless champions of our basic right to clean beaches, big surf, and no Vals, OK?
