The Scimitars - “Bari Simone” (2023)

Vibrant and mesmerizing Middle Eastern influenced surf music from a talented combo out of SoCal.

Super producer Jack Endino did the mastering. No wonder it sounds so great.

I gotta see these guys live. I wish there were more than the two songs they recently released.

@Defiance just saw this while browsing the #surfmusic tag. I saw them in 2022, sounded great, with some real thundering bass, but the show was stolen by the additional entertainment they brought.

Make sure to check out Ran's other bands, The Sand Devils and The Astroglides. Middle Eastern influence isn't as heavy, but it comes in and both are great.

@hunterking Thanks for the info! So that's them on stage there? Cool they have a dancer too.

I'll check out the other bands too. 🎸

@Defiance yeah that's them. I think they have an LP coming this year but don't quote me. They're playing the Surfguitar101 festival in July so I'll likely see them again.

@hunterking I just checked the site, and they are on the bill. If I can coordinate it, I'll try again to make it to the show (I'm in SF but my kids attend college in and around LA).
