     The Surf Punks are a bunch of rich beach kids from Malibu
who occaisonally get their act together and play music. 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this address is outdated, so don't send cash or drugs).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?
