Gary Hoey
Monster Surf
The Story
Gary Hoey is back with "Monster Surf". Hoey is the guitar God whose knack for taking well-known songs an turning them into rock instrumental monsters has made him a rock radio icon. He redefined Christmas music with his "Ho! Ho! Hoey" series an is now poise to do the same with classic surf tunes as he tears into songs like "Pipeline", "Hawaii Five-O" and many others in a way like you've never heard! The music on "Monster Surf" was of course inspired by surfing and the sheer awesome power of Mother Ocean[s waves. Check out covers of the Beach Boys' "Fun, Fun, Fun", Chuck Berry's "Surfin' USA", the Surfari's "Wipe Out", and a heavy version of the Mamas and the Papas' hit "California Dreamin'".
