The Surf Lords have been in existence since 1999. Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the current line up is Tom Chism, guitar & vocals, Joe Silva, bass and vocals, Mike Fleming, drums, and GoGo dancers Jeorge Mercedes and Amanda Alton.
Unknown to most people, New Mexico has one of the longest wind surfing seasons, beginning in February
( January if you have a dry suit ) and ending in November ( December if you have a dry suit ). Although we may not have the most consistent winds on the planet, we get some nuclear blasts in the spring ( 30-40 mph stuff ). Depending on the direction, we can get swells up to 3-4 feet at Conchas Lake, earning it the nickname East Swell City.
Hope you like the surf music; come out to New Mexico and wind surf with us. Tom

Voodoo Surf Fever
author: Rod W. Davey
A new Surf Lords cd, and always a treat for me. There are a few vocals on this disc, but don't be scared off. Where vocal cds, are singing with instrumental breaks, this is instrumental with vocal breaks. Well, in most cases. The instrumental songs for the most part are moody, sometimes psychedelic, sometimes rockin, but always great. I guess these terms can all be summed up by saying "voodoo". If you're a surf instro fan, I think you'll enjoy this disc. Some of my fave songs are Rock On (6:12 of what I feel is closest to a voodoo sound), and Rincon Bop reminds me of a tune from an earlier cd but, it's very cool. There are some covers, but no surf covers. We didn't need to hear Pipeline, Miserlou, etc again anyway. Did you ever expect songs by Smokey Robinson, Jimi Hendrix, David Essex, Chris Isaak to be done surf? It works! How about the traditional Civil War song Shenandoah and it works too!! A very laid back surf instrumental cd that will likely keep the surf crowd happy till the next wave.
