Press Release 1/20/2005
Surf Coasters announce U.S.A. West Coast Tour for March 2005 Japan's #1 instrumental band, The Surf Coasters will return to the US in 2005 for a 3 week West Coast Tour. After the success of 2004's S.F. Bay Area tour, The Surf Coasters are eager to return. The hope is that the enthusiastic audiences who packed the clubs in San Francisco, Sacremento, San Jose, Fresno and Santa Cruz will be duplicated in Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Portland and Seattle (as well as another round at Bay Area clubs). The Surf Coasters will release their new CD "Samurai Struck" in the US with a Feb 2005 release date. The band has recorded the soundtrack to a new video game called "Musashi - Samurai Legend" by Square-Enix (makers of "Final Fantasy") due for a Spring 2005 release in America. The Surf Coasters were formed in 1994 by Shigeo Naka in Tokyo, Japan. Their first appearances were on a "Star Search" type TV show which they won by playing their version of Dick Dale's Pulp Fiction hit" Miserlou". Since then, they have released more than 20 CDs for the Columbia, BMG, and Victor labels, with many appearances on film soundtracks and video games and constant touring in Japan. In 1995, rock guitar legend Dick Dale, known as the “King of the Surf Guitar”, visited Japan and played shows with The Surf Coasters. He proclaimed Shigeo Naka to be “The Prince of the Surf Guitar”. Shigeo Naka is a guitar prodigy with amazing fretboard ability. His love is for the twangy, reverbed tones of American surf music, and many Surf Coasters CDs feature reworkings of famed surf songs from the 60s alongside their more orignal material. Live, the Surf Coasters command the stage with an athletic stage presence and a crunchy and fast surf instrumentals.
