On the newwer surf tip, I would reccomend:
the Woggles (disbanded a while back)
The Finks (Gone Daddy Gone)
The Bomboras (sadly gone)
the Ghastly Ones (sort of around still, members of the Ghastly Ones and Bomboras make up the the 60's garage R&B style band
the Now)
the Invisible Men (pretty invisible, they pop up once in a while, numerous incarnations)
Man or Astroman (surf style but rooted in outer space, pop up every once in a while)

these are off the top of me head, hope it helps. some of these folks can be contacted

Actually the Woggles are still around - their long time guitar player Mannard passed away not too long ago but their back at it.

As for the Invisible Men - Gone! Great gimmick dressing in bandages and then ending the set in a free for all wrestling match.

I might add my old band The Surf Trio to the list. We had a few records/CD around. Last one was called Forbidden Sounds on Dionysus Records. Still in print!
